Nothing happens to the period value. Thats always in seconds. If you change from ramping up from 0 - 20/sec to ramping up from 0 - 20/min than that's what will happen over the prescribed period. So I think if you did something like 0-20/min over 30 seconds then after 30 secs you will be at a rate of 20/min. Don't forget that the test can run for longer than the 'period'. Thats just the ramp up period.

Thanks for the explanation. I thought the Period unit would change also.

Are you talking about changing to mins or hours part way through the test?

Well I wanted to start with minutes. So my plan was to set it up to 500 req/minute with a period of 10 minutes.

In terms of simulating users, it really depends on what you expect them to do. They may not do it in a uniform fashion as your generator will produce but so what. If you load your system to find it's limits then you know what rate of requests it can handle. |
Guess I have to think more in site requests than in users
But thats fine. Depending on the statistic for the webiste I can more or less calculate the number of users.
