If we will give more time will it be wrong? If I will give 10 seconds but 5 seconds is enough to handle the time gap between two iterations.Can any one suggest on this?
@Ardhendu we use pacing to tune the TPS. There is a formula to calculate pacing please go through the above link. In general if you increase the pacing time then TPS will decrease and vice versa. If one iteration completes in 5 seconds and pacing is 10 seconds, it will wait for 10 seconds after completing the first iteration. Again it depends on which type of pacing you are using, there are three types of pacing...
If tool gives options like 'Immediately start after last iteration ends', then that option will be more efficient than entering our calculated pacing value. Bcz for example if calculated pacing value is 5 sec. And some iterations took less than 5 sec, in those case 'Immediarely start after last iteration ends' is more effective than calculated one? Kindly suggest why user will take the pain of calculating the pacing value?
Suppose you have to achieve a TPS of 2 at 1x load but your the script is generating the TPS of 4. How you will tune the scenario to reduce the TPS? There are three ways to reduce it:: 1. Decrease the user load(if user load is 1 then you have to use pacing). 2. Add think time 3. Add pacing time It will be more clear if you get chance to work practically on it. This blog may help you to understand pacing in depth. http://blogtoravi.blogspot.in/2013/12/pacing-time-in-loadrunner.html
