Description |
Add users |
If a schedule contains only percentage
groups, the virtual users are added by proportion. Assume that your schedule
contains three user groups, assigned at 20%, 30%, and 50%. If you add 10 virtual
users, two added are to the first group, three are added to the second group,
and five are added to the third group. If a schedule contains both absolute
and percentage groups, the absolute groups are assigned first. Assume that
your schedule has one user group that is fixed at 10 users and only one virtual
user is running in that group. You add 100 virtual users. Nine virtual users
are added to the absolute group, and the remaining virtual users are apportioned
among the percentage groups.
|
Remove users |
Users are removed proportionately
from user groups according to each user group's percentage value. The time
at which users are asked to stop is controlled by the Change rate that
you set in the schedule. |
Apply to all remaining stages |
Click to
apply the change to all remaining stages in the schedule run, and clear to
apply the change only to the current stage. |
