Concurrent execution of Thread Groups

[Divya <di...@gmail.com>]

Hello All,

How can I implement a test scenario as explained below using JMeter
features:

*Scenario:*
Simulating around 100 VU such that 50 VU are performing Task A and 50 users
are performing Task B concurrently for around 1 hour.

*Question*:
a) Do I need to create two thread groups under the same Test Plan? If that
is the case how the two thread groups can be scheduled such that they
execute concurrently.
b) Considering that these tests need to be executed off peak. Can I get
some advise on the JMeter Scheduler?
c) How can the test execution result be saved to a file for later analysis?


Thanks,
Divya

No, but it is probably easier to do so.

That is the default, see:

http://jmeter.apache.org/usermanual/component_reference.html#Test_Plan

"Run Test Groups consecutively"

But you might find it easier to use your OS scheduler, especially if
you want to repeat the test daily.

Add a Listener.
