Generating Heavy User Load: Rendezvous Points

In order to emulate heavy user load and measure server performance, you

synchronize Vusers to perform a query at exactly the same moment. You ensure

that multiple Vusers act simultaneously by creating a meeting place, known as a

rendezvous point

. When a Vuser arrives at the rendezvous point, it is held by the

Controller until all Vusers participating in the rendezvous arrive. When the

rendezvous conditions are met, the Vusers are released by the Controller.

You designate the meeting place by inserting a rendezvous point into your Vuser

script. When a Vuser executes a script and encounters the rendezvous point, script

execution is paused and the Vuser waits for permission from the Controller to

continue. After the Vuser is released from the rendezvous, it performs the next task

in the script.

For example, to generate peak load on a bank server, you could insert rendezvous

points into the Vuser scripts to instruct all the Vusers to simultaneously deposit

cash into their accounts.

To insert a rendezvous point:

Insert a rendezvous statement into the Vuser script.

For the syntax of the rendezvous function, refer to the
