Simultaneous browser connections in ACT

Hi,

    Please clarify whether I can use the number of
simultaneous browser connections and number of users to
simulate the required load. Suppose i want to simulate
1000 users, Can I create a user group with 1000 users and
also have 1000 simultaneous browser connections. Or is the
the no of simultaneous browser connections something
different? Normally a user would require 4 browser
connections when accessing a web site. So please clarify
what does this term stand for in the context of
Application center test? Also is 2000 the maximum no of
users that can be simulated.  

Thanks and Regards,

Sundar R

ACT works off the no. of iterations , once it reaches
those it stops. ie. if you have 1000 in the 'Run test a
specific amount of times' box it will run that specific
script 1000 times. The amount of users it will use to
reach it's goal depends on how many simultaneous browser
connections (SBC's) you enter.

If you set the SBC's to 1000 then the when you kick off
the test ACT will attempt to run 1000 instances of the
script all at once, with a new user for each script (so
you would need 1000 users setup). If you only had 1 user
in the SBC's box it would start with 1 script running,
then when it finished it would start the script again
until it had achieved it's goal of running the script 1000
times. SO the load would be very small as the server only
gets hit with 1 user at a time, compared to 1000 users at
roughly the same time.

Hope that helps a bit.
