quangtran,

you can put the login and action steps into two separate test cases:

  • Login Test Case
  • Action Test Case 

 

Then, you can:

  • execute the Login test case manually and thus set up the authorization data.
  • execute a load test with the Action Test Case.

    This doesn't work as I am trying to simulate different users logging in for each VU I am running.

      quangtran, so the test case could be designed the following way:

      • login
      • data source
      • activities
      • data source loop
      • logout

       

      The activities would be repeated multiple times and login/logout just once.

        How do you loop based on the duration of the load test?

        If I setup the loop as a data source loop, it will complete as soon as the steps are completed which can be quite fast. Some of the calls are sub seconds and let's say I loop 10 times, it will finish really fast.

        Is there some way to control how long the loop goes based on the load scenario? If it was 20min the loop should run for 20min and if it is 30min then it should loop for 30min.
