Setting the number of users that start a run

Sets the initial number of users in a run. You can increase this number once the run starts.

To set the number of users that start in the run:
  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 Contents section, click the name of the schedule.
  4. In the User Load section, set Number of Users to the number of users that you want to start.
When a schedule runs, users are assigned as follows:
  1. Absolute groups are allocated first. The users are allocated to each absolute user group in the order that they appear in the schedule.
  2. Percentage groups are allocated according to the assigned values. If a group is running on multiple remote computers, the users are divided equally among the remote locations.
For example, assume that a schedule contains the following user groups, all running on the same computer:


Schedule with one group of 5 users, one group of 1 user, one 50% group of Browsers, and one 50% group of Buyers.
