LoadUI Samples?

Hello all,

What is meant by 'concurrently running samples'? currently, in my load test, I am using the default of 100, but I'm not really sure what this means. Can someone please elaborate for me?

Many thanks,

Mike

    Hi!

    I'm assuming that you refer to the setting in Runner Components. It's the limit for how many requests that the Runner will send before starting to queue requests.

    E.g. If you have this setting set to 100, the Runningcounter will not be allowed to rise above 100. If the Runner get incoming trigger messages when this counter is 100, it will start increasing the queued counter.

    Does this help?

  • That was most helpful, thankyou

    Had a play around with increasing the number of samples and it did seem to help getting me closer to the required level of load.

    One problem I did encounter was that I received a LoadUi error message saying it was 'out of memory'. I'm running tests from an Amazon EC2 Cloud image and this has 7GB of RAM. Anyone reported this issue before?

    Cheers,

    Mike
