Real User Analysis
I have a script that has
20 threads
100 seconds of Ramp up
5000 Milliseconds Constant Timer
I have to tell a manager what this means in "real" users. What is the
calculation to do this? what if I run 20 concurrent threads without any
ramp up time or timers?
Thanks

You should do it backwards, first you want to know how many users you want
to simulate. Then, what things do the different types of users in the
system, and finally "write the scripts" or compose the testplan.
Each type of user could be a thread group. You will have one thread for each
virtual user.
A thread (or virtual user) will do things over the system, HTTP requests,
JDBC requests, etc. And maybe a user could have loops and conditions.
ThreadGroup1-UsersThatJustSeeFirstPage
RequestFirstPage
ThreadGroup2-UsersThatLogin&Logout
RequestFirstPage
GetNamePasswordFromCSVFile
Login
Logout
ThreadGroup3-UsersThatBuyOneThing
.....
ThreadGroup4-UsersThatBuySeeStateOfCreditCard
.....
How many users of each type you will have? you have to investigate that.
So, you are going to have as many threads as users.
If you want to know how many users you have in a instant in the test you
will have to analyze the logs of the test. (You have to log the results in a
file, and analyze the file)
this is a explanation in a very few words, there are much many other
problems to solve, you will need enough good data to do a good test, you
will need the hardware and to monitor all the environment, and other things
...

Impossible to say without knowing what a "real" user would be expected
to do with your application. For example, the usage patterns for
Google and www.apache.org are very different.
I suggest you look at the number and type of requests (method,
protocol and response size) made a real user, and compare that with
the test plan.
