I have a Payload where I need to run for one hour with Spike in between. After starting the test, first 20 mins threads need to be in idle state and then One minute spike with some 50 tps and again 10 minutes idle and spike with same payload again for 1 minute. Which thread group, controllers and timers are best suite for the same.
1 hr test with below criteria
0 to 20 min ---- Idle 1 Min (60 sec) --- 50 tps 21 to 30 -- Idle again 30 to 31 (1 min) -- spike again with 90 tps this time 31 to 40 --- idle again 40-41 min -- Spike again with 120 tps 41 - 60 - idle again
There are multiple options, the easiest would be Concurrency Thread Group and Throughput Shaping Timer combination
By the way given this 20 minutes "idle" period you can just skip it, as long as JMeter will not be sending any requests you can launch your test after 20 minutes from the start date and save the electricity and trees.
