Load Strategy Suggestion

Hello.

Can anyone please provide some recommendations on what load strategy can best achieve this test load objective?

Load Objective : Find the maximum number of concurrent virtual users for each transaction within one hour.

Test Case with test steps (transaction):

Test Step1 : Upload document
Test Step2 : Download document
Test Step3 : Modify document
Test Step4 : Delete document

May I also request if you can tell me the values in the strategy? (I hope that is not too much to ask)

For example, if I used Fixed Rate what are the values to use in "Threads, Rate, Max Rates"

Thanks in advance.

    Hello,

    Please check the link below for descriptions of everything around the Load test section.

    http://www.soapui.org/Load-Testing/load ... indow.html

    As per your first question, set the limit to 3600, set the amount of threads of your choice. When this runs you should take a look at the reports and find out the results you are looking for.

    Hello Temil,

    I read all of these pages before I posted in the forum, thanks.

    It still does not answer my question thou - how can I determine the max concurrent users in one hour for each test step?

    Anyone elase has experience in testing this type of scenario? Can you please share your thoughts?

    Thanks again.
