Thread Distribution between Test Cases during Load Test

I have added two test cases to a Load test suite. when executing the load test, i am executing the two test cases simultaneously.

I have mentioned the thread count as 16 in the Load test window.

Can somebody tell me if the threadcount mentioned is distributed between the two test cases during load test execution or each test cases takes 16 threads respectively.

I have also collected the three logs:: One for each individual test case and total log. However, for each individual test case log, i can see that the threadcount is 16. But for the total log, the threadcount value is still 16 (should have been 32).

But other statisctics from individual log like min, max etc are all getting added up in the total log.

I am not sure about the explaination for this behavious. Can anybody please explain ?

    Surprised no one replied. Replying anyway so that the replies to this thread is no longer '0'
    The lingo you use doesn't make sense. The two testSteps set/get you have are 1 test case. A load test runs a single test case.

    It's not distributed.. 16 is not divided by the # of testSteps if that is what you were asking.

    With the one test Step disabled - 16 hits are running, but you have your Delay & Random set. So in your case you have 8 running (wait 1 second) then send the other 8. 8 again meaning all test steps in the test case get 8 executions.
