Hi -
I am new to StresStimulus.
I have 5 scenarios and recorded those from my application by using this tool.
I just want to split the VUs for each scenarios that needs to be executed continuously.
 
Like, 5 VUs for 5(steps) and
      5 VUs for next 5 steps and so on.
 
Could you please assist me with this. Its an urgent requirement.

In StresStimulus each scenario is recorded as a separate test case, which appears in the Build Test Case-> Multiple Test Cases section.
Every test case has a Mix Weight configuration property. VUs are distributed between the Test Cases proportionately to their Mix Weights. So, in order to split all VUs between 5 test cases evenly, set the mix weight to 1 in every test case, as described here http://support.stresstimulus.com/display/doc37/Concurrent+Test+Case
Instead of value 1, you can also use the value of 20% (without % sign).  You can also set mix weight to the actual number of VUs. For example, if you set up 25 VUs in the test, then the mix weight for every test case should be equal to 5.

Hi Vadim -
Yes, now i am able to run Stresstimulus without any errors.
I want to do performance testing for 8 Test Cases. All 3 VUs need to execute the 8 test cases.
What are the steps do i need to follow,because when i tried to execute it ran only for 3 test cases.
I have attached the results for your reference.
Thanks...

Hi Kartheeswaran,
By default, test cases are executed in parallel. You need to execute them sequentially. To do so, create a Test Case Groups that combines 8 Test Cases in the required order, as described here http://support.stresstimulus.com/display/doc37/Sequential+Test+Case...  

After that every VU will execute all 8 Test Cases in this order.

Yes , i have done with that part.
I am struggling with the below steps for my above queries.
Under " Configure Test "
what are parameter do i need to choose for my previous requirement(I want to do performance testing for 8 Test Cases. All 3 VUs need to execute the 8 test cases.).
Little bit of confusion to choose the options under " Configure Test " part.
Let me know a way to proceed.

Select a steady load or step load pattern, depending which one you need, as described here http://support.stresstimulus.com/display/doc37/Load-Pattern

Then select the primary test completion condition as Number of Iterations, Run Duration or Reaching Max Users, as described here http://support.stresstimulus.com/display/doc37/Test-Duration

And finally select the secondary test completion condition as Stop the Test, Wait for Responses or Wait for Iteration to Complete.

Yes, while following those steps i am struggling again as per some step in that documentation.
Please find the attachment for those differences.
If the primary test completion condition is Number of Iterations, then the secondary is always Wait for Iteration to Complete.
I have selected the Number of Iterations as "Test completion Condition" but the above 2ndary option is not coming in the drop down.

And for my test cases tool is executing only 3 test groups.
But i have created more than 3 test groups.
Is it restricted due to trial version???

When the primary test completion condition is Number of Iterations, the secondary condition is implicitly set as Wait for Iteration to Complete.  Therefore there is no need for a secondary condition drop-down. Naturally, if you want to execute X iterations, then the test will keep going until X iterations are fully complete.
The drop-down " How to count iterations (per VU or Total)" you are asking about  is not the secondary condition drop-down.

Previously you asked how to execute 8 Test Cases by 3 VUs, and I explained (above)that you need to create one TC group that includes these 8 test cases.  Why did you create multiple TC groups?  One TC group will take care of executing all of your 8 test case.
The trial version is not restricted in terms of handling multiple test cases.
