jp@gc - Stepping Thread Group (deprecated) -- WHY .?

[jmete...@gmail.com]

Hi

I'm very surprised that I will not be able to use this component anymore.

How can I continue to use it after the update?

This is important for me because I have more than 42 projects since 2012 with this component.

In addition, I have a part of my scenario that calculates the parameters of component

Thanks

Hi,

It is deprecated because Concurrency Thread Group has the same functionality and much better additional features. STG was implemented many years ago, there are newer ideas since then.

Hi  Andrey,

I am  facing an issue in using Random CSV Data Set Config.The issue is that my CSV has only Three data records but when using Test CSV Reading feature present in Random CSV Data Config plugin it is also fetching null value showing the CSV has Four data records.

Also in the Test Plan it is passing null Values.Could you please help resolving this issue.

Thanks and Regards,

Neha

Hi Andrey,

How can I continue to use this component after the update ?

In my template,l I developed a script that adjusts the parameters of the component.

In my situation, it's a regression .

Thanks

Deprecation does not mean it is completely removed. So you can continue using this component. Also, you may keep older version of plugin to keep it after deletion.

@ Andrey,but the Concurency Thread Group doesnot have Rampdown like In Stepping Thread Group.

Thanks,

Hi,

From load test perspective, ramp-down is quite useless. Ramp-up has need
to "warm up the system", but ramp-down is simply waste of time.

I'm not sure ramp down isn't needed, you can check there's a lot of questions in https://stackoverflow.com/search?q=%5Bjmeter%5D+ramp+down

When getting to the bottleneck sometimes you need to ramp down/slow down to prevent/reduce system failure(s).

[Andrey Pokhilko]

But full ramp-down does not solve the need to lower load and continue the test. And "prevent system failure" sounds strange, since the goal of the test is usually to cause system to fail. If you want to test system without failing, you can just pick lower load value.

Additionally, you can use JMeter properties inside load level fields of CTG and change them dunamically based on some logic, that's the real solution for case "I want to dynamically decrease the load".

Hey Andrey,

Could you please provide any documentation if avialiable using CTG how to dynamically ramp down the Load.
We use up to 300 users, since it bigger load so far we are using STG to slowly rampdown the users.Since testsuite has 9 scenarios and each scenario iterations are not same so we cannot use CTG and cannot set same loop count.

Thanks

[Andrey Pokhilko]

Sorry, I don't have any demonstration.

If using STG is really important for you, you can keep using it, there
is no plan to remove it soon.

Hi,

I'm also a big fan for the "Stepping Thread Group" and i understand that "Deprecated" could confuse new user.
I am reassured you don't remove this feature.

Regards.

I suggest that you leave this component if it is not a problem

I use it all time

[Chinni P]

Thanks Andrey!

The  jp@gc - Stepping Thread Group (deprecated)     : "Deprecated" confuses me on using it in my future projects . It has all the options at one place. 

There is no way to specify a warmup phase (wait for) in other thread groups plus the ramp down too. Yes i agree with Andrey that rampdown might not be useful but there are cases when we have to rampdown one particular load and ramp up the load for other thread groups.

I see its ON for the last 5 years with the label of deprecated . Can  we please get a confirmation that this will not be removed Or the usage will not lead to any irregular behaviors.

Ok guys, I hear you. 

I've published a cosmetic release of plugins to remove the scary deprecation label.
