How to create a script with multiple Sequential thread groups ?

[Willingham Geoff <Ge...@cfh.nhs.uk>]

Greetings
 
Im trying to develop a test script to perform a number of steps in
sequence.  The tricky bit involves the number of simulated users
required at each stage.

The high-level outline of the test is:

1) prepare the data
2) process the data
3) produce a report

The way the system has been developed, points 1 + 3 can only be
performed by one user.  In order to fully test the processing
functionality, a minimum of 20 users is required.

The problem I am having related to organising the script, and working
out which components to use to achieve the changes in the number of
users.

Currently, I use three thread groups - one for each step.  However,
sometimes it appears as though the second / third thread groups start
before the previous group has finished processing.

Can anyone think of anything I could do to the script to reduce this
issue ?

Cheers

Geoff

On the test plan, set the checkbox "Run each Thread Group separately".
