How to run multiple Test Group in single .jmx using jmeter

[k2n...@gmail.com]

I have created one Test plan, and inside it have added 5 Test Group. I am able to run 1 Test Group at a single time. Is there any way, where 5 test group can be run in single jmx file ?

If you have some Thread Groups in one Test Plan you should just press Start button, and all Thread Groups will be run.

Check "Run Test Groups consecutively" box status (under Test Plan properties). If you uncheck it you'll have all your thread groups running in parallel.

However you need to remember that variables cannot be passed between different thread groups and if your test logic assumes creating some entities in one thread group, reading them in another, editing in the third and deleting in the fourth you may wish to learn how to pass variables and cookies between different thread groups.

I have created 5 thread groups and also checked Run test groups Consecutively

My thread 1 executes and active threads are 2500 which is correct as I have specified 2500.

But in second Thread group active threads are 5000 whereas I have specfified 2500

Do I need to select any setting as I feel On first thread execution it was 2500 and sec thread started and it increased it to 5000
