Starting users at different times

To avoid overloading the system (and causing connection timeouts), you can stagger the number of users that start rather than starting them all at once.

To stagger the starting times of virtual users:
  1. In the Test Navigator, expand the project until you locate the schedule.
  2. Right-click the schedule, and then click Open.
  3. In the Schedule Element Details section, under User Load, check the box Add a delay between starting each user.
  4. In Delay, enter a number and select a time unit.
