How to generate multiple user scenario in Load UI

Hi Members,

I have to generate multiple user scenario which means multiple users logged in a website and upload a job at the same time using Load UI. I am advised to use groovy script and rate generator for perform testing.

Could you all please guide me how can i achieve this?
If I keep on increasing rate as 1/sec and keep increasing requests to 3, 5, 10, 15, 20 ..one by one, will simulate the multiple user scenario? Does this mean 3,5,10,15,20...users at the same time?

Is this the correct way or is there any other way to simulate multiple user scenario?

Please guide me.

Thanks & regards,
Anoop.

    Hello Anoop,

    Unfortunately i cannot assist you with the groovy-scripting which seems to be a requirement.

    Rate components does not mean X number of users at the same time, it means that for every second X users will arrive at your service whether it can handle them or not. This paradigm conflicts a bit with the concept of Concurrent Virtual Users (VU's) which suggests that at any given time X number of users should be performing actions on the endpoint. This second concept can only be emulated in LoadUI using the Load generators, where Rate components are used for Requests/second.

    I hope that answers your question.

    Best regards,
    Mikael
