Ramp Generator - Unit/Period
Hi,
I'm trying to create a load test using the Ramp Generator.
I'm wondering what happens to the period value if I switch the Unit to min or Hour?
As far as I hav'e understood if the Unit is set to seconds, the Period means the time taken till the end value of the Ramp Generator is reached.
But if I set the unit to minutes, it seems that the Period value has no effect at all?!
I'm also wondering why I have to wait one minute, if I change the Unit to minutes? Why doesn't it start directly with generating requests?
Another understanding issue I've got: If I set the Ramp Generator for example to start with 0 and end with 20, the number of requests will be 20/sec after the period is reached. But this isn't a real user behaviour.
What would be the best way to really simulate a user?
