Wait time between data row reads in a load test

Hi Srikanth!

I think that I understand what you want to do. Here's how you could accomplish that:

Create a Properties step immediately after the DataSource:

Name               Value
startingTime       ${=System.currentTimeMillis() }

Then later on in the TestCase, where you want to delay, create a Groovy Script TestStep with the following content:

def TOTAL_TIME_TO_DELAY = 1000 //in milliseconds
def startingTime = context.expand( '${Properties#startingTime}' )
def timeAlreadyDelayed = System.currentTimeMillis() - Long.parseLong( startingTime )
Thread.sleep( TOTAL_TIME_TO_DELAY - timeAlreadyDelayed )

Hope that it works and makes sense to you
