Details of "Virtual Users" generator?
Hello all,
I'd like to better understand what exactly goes on when I load the "Virtual Users" generator.
From the test result summaries I can surmise that when I enter a given URL, LoadUI fetches just the HTML for the page in question, and ignores any associated files (CSS, JS, etc.) Correct so far?
Next: say I enter a URL, set "Number of Users" to 20 and "Request Interval" to 2 seconds, giving me 10 requests/sec. What is Load UI doing then? Does it launch 20 separate HTTP clients, each sending 1 request/2 sec -- or something else?
I'm basically trying to understand how closely this generator replicates "real-world user" behaviour. Any feedback would be very helpful.
