I want to implement the following scenario in Jmeter by ramping up users gradually. How can I achieve that?

Thread group A:

  • Every minute, 10 thread should ramp up,
  • unless they reach the total max of 500 threads,
  • and then they all should run for 4 hours continually.

My goal is to check the average response time for 4 hours.

Try to use SteppingThreadGroup plugin -> http://jmeter-plugins.org/wiki/SteppingThreadGroup/ instead of common ThreadGroup.

There are 2 ways are available

  1. Threadgroup - inbuilt

    enter image description here

Total duration is 14400 seconds i.e. 4hrs (This includes rampup, generally rampup should be excluded from test duration then you should set test duration = 14400 + 3000)

  1. Stepping threadgroup from jmeter plugins

enter image description here

This can also be used in same way keep rampup duration and total duration difference in consideration
