DLT

[dileepreddygaddam]

I'm trying to create a JMeter .jmx test plan with multiple Thread Groups, each targeting different API endpoints and configured with different load profiles. I've set startup delays for each Thread Group (e.g., Thread_1 = 0s, Thread_2 = 120s, Thread_3 = 240s) so they execute sequentially. This setup works correctly in my local environment, but when I run it in Distributed Load Testing (DLT), all Thread Groups start simultaneously and the startup delays are ignored. Can anyone advise on how to properly design this scenario for DLT?

Thanks for reaching out. We are looking into this and will respond shortly.

Hi, DLT will ignore the timing settings inside the .jmx file and use the timing information set in the DLT scenario data. You mention you want to run these tests sequentially. Have you tried setting these up sequentially in the same ThreadGroup one after the next, or do you you a need for these to be in separate ThreadGroups?
