A JMeter test plan for AWS PostgreSQL RDS includes a user thread group; its thread group will include elements of variables, JDBC connections, JDBS requests, and performance reports:
- Please create a thread group by using the menu Edit > Add > Threads (Users) > Thread Group. Or, we can simply right-click on Test Plan to pop up the Add > Threads (Users) > Thread Group menu options:
Figure 10.15. Creation of a new thread group by JMeter
We will see the default values of a thread group are as follows:
Figure 10.16. Thread Group default values
- We will set up each value in Thread Group as follows:
- Name: PostgreSQL Users
- Number of Threads (users): 50
- Ramp-up period (seconds): 10
- Loop Count: 100
- To have JMeter repeatedly run your test plan, select the Infinite checkbox.
The Ramp-up period value tells JMeter how long to delay between starting each user. Now our ramp-up period is 10 seconds...
