Need a recommendation on number of virtual users

Unregistered User Posts: 514 5/3/2021	Unregistered User Posts: 514 We have 1200 average of connected web users + 400 average of connected CRM users. For your experience, how many “virtual users” are necessary to stress system?

George @StresStimulus Administrator Posts: 567 5/3/2021	George @StresStimulus Administrator Posts: 567 If 400 CRM users are part of the 1200 connected web users, you need to test with 1200 VUs. If you 400 CRM users are not a part of the 1200 connected web users and both groups use any shared resources ( like a shared database or hosted on share hardware), then for more accurate performance testing, your need 1600 VUs. Also, if the number of users during peak periods is higher than the average number of users, then to test performance during the peak periods, you need that greater number of VUs.
