Thread Groups

[Coret Bob <b....@pinkroccade.com>]

I understand the concept of a Thread Group. What I don't know (and can't find in the docs) is what happens if you add more Thread Groups to your Test Plan.
- Can you run them seperatly? Or do they always run concurrently? 
- Are multiple Thread Groups only usable if you use the scheduler?
- Do the listeners report on their own Thread Group or do the report on the collective Thread Groups? 
- What would be the practical use of multiple Thread Groups?

See
http://jakarta.apache.org/jmeter/usermanual/component_reference.html#Test_Plan about how to run Threadgroups in either fashion.

See
http://jakarta.apache.org/jmeter/usermanual/build-test-plan.html#scoping_rules about scoping rules (answers your listener question)

A practical use of multiple thread groups would be to run radically
different test plans simultaneously.
