JMeter for AWS PostgreSQL RDS

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: 

1. 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

3. 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...
