Delaying a thread

[rats123 <ra...@tester.co.nz>]

Hi all,

I use a Uniform Random Timer at the Thread level for delays between pages to
mimic "real-life" delays when a user is stepping through a website.

However I would like to now put a thread level delay so as to mimic a "work
day" scenario. Example:

1) A rep gets a phone call and works through an insurance quote for the
client
2) The rep then waits 10 - 20 minutes before he receives his second phone
call

So there are two sets of delays as mentioned. The first is the delay between
pages for the insurance quote and the second is the delay while the rep
waits for another phone call.

How can I do this?

Thanks

you dont need a test action , you can add timers in your test plan and they
will be scoped according to normal jmeter rules. if you add it under the
thread group then it will add to every sampler. if you add it under a
sampler then it will add to just that sampler , and if you add it say under
a Simple Controller it will add the timer to every child of the Simple
controller

I'm not sure what you mean by that but I managed to figure out how to do this
by adding a Test Action. This allows you to add a constant delay for a
Thread. You can then add a child timer if you want to add randomness etc.

Perhaps I'm missing something obvious, but dont you just write up your
whole scenario into your ThreadGroup and put another delay in where
you need it?
