JMeter - How to execute just one thread group every 30 seconds within 60 seconds test

I have a JMeter Test Plan composed by 2 thread groups that runs consecutively:

Thread Group 1: See image

  • Login transaction (gets user token saved as property)

Thread Group 2: API requests See image

  • Transaction 1

  • Transaction 2

  • ...

I want to execute Thread Group 1 (get user token) every 30 seconds within 60 seconds (2 times each global execution).

Do you know how to do it?

If I use a constant timer in Thread Group 1, it waits 30 seconds to start the thread and I don't want that behavior.

Thanks in advance.

JMeter Timers are executed before each Sampler in their Scope so you have the following options:

  1. Add Flow Control Action sampler after the logintokensso request and configure it to "sleep" for 30 seconds:

  2. Or if you have to use the timer for any reason you can still go for the Flow Control Action sampler but with zero delay and make your Constant Timer a child of this Flow Control Action sampler:
