change # of threads in a thread group during runtime
Hi,
I would like to know whether it is possible to change # of threads in a thread group during runtime? For example, I'd like to start test cases with 10 threads running for 1 min and than add (without stopping jmeter) another 10 threads (now 20 threads are running) and finally after 2 mins, I'd like to add another 20 threads and run the test case (now with 40 threads) for the next 3 mins (the idea is to add the load progressively). If scripting is required i can use groovy as I managed to run it with BSF sampler.
Many Thanks,
g.

You can use a long ramp-up time to start the threads gradually, but
they won't start in sets of 10.
If you need that functionality, then one way to do it would be to have
a once-only Controller at the start of the thread. Add a Test Action
Sampler as its child with a wait that depends on the thread number,
such that threads 1-10 wait 0 seconds, 2-20 wait 60 seconds etc.
The wait would be something like:
((int)threadNum / 10) * 60000
You can do this using standard JMeter functions, see:
http://jakarta.apache.org/jmeter/usermanual/functions.html
Or you could use a BSF Sampler that paused for the requisite time, and
did not return a value (to avoid generating a sample). Or use a BSF
Timer as a child of the Test Action Sampler (Timers only work if there
is a sampler to act on).
TMTOWTDI as the Perl community has it.

Right. After I use the nightly build and put it into lib/ext, iit works.
Thanks.
Roy
Make note that those Stepping Thread Group works currently only with nagtly
builds. Also the directory for JMeterPlugins.jar is lib/ext, not just lib.
Do you use nightly build and lib/ext?

I use multiple thread groups for this.
In the second and third thread groups, I use the 'Java Request' sampler, and
set Classname = 'Sleep Test' to force the threads to start after an
appropriate delay. The only action in these thread groups is a module
controller that calls a set of actions in the first thread group.
