I have a small load testing here and I'm curious how can I set different web perfomance tests to different virtual users. I'd like to make something like this:

Test A: 3 users;

Test B: 20 users;

Test C: 30 uers;

TEst D: 50 users;

And I'd like all that to go at the same time. Is there a way to do that? Thanks for answer.

You cannot actually give constant values to the virtual users but you can define their percentage distribution.

  1. Create a new Load Test.
  2. In the New Load Test Wizard click on the Load Pattern tab, select Constant Load and set the Users Count number (e.g. 100).
  3. In the Test Mix Model select the Based on the number of virtual users option.
  4. In the Test Mix tab, add your tests and set the Distribution of your tests:
    • TestA: 3% --> 3 users
    • TestB: 19% --> 19 users
    • TestC: 29% --> 29 users
    • TestD: 49% --> 49 users

You can also set the percentages manually but if you try to set them like this:

  • TestA: 3%
  • TestB: 20%
  • TestC: 30%
  • TestD: 50%

then each value will be prorated to 100%. Check here for more details.
