You can create a 'gradually increasing load' configuration during test creation with the Multi-Step option in the Configuration section in the test Create / Edit page.

Let's take a look at the following example:

We want to run the test with a maximum of 5000 users, increasing by 1000 users every 2 minutes. With default settings, Loadium will create the test with Linear Load Type. If you want to apply by increasing the load select "Multi-Step" on Configuration area.

Enter the target number of virtual users in the "Target VU" field, specify the duration (in seconds) for ramping up to this load in the "Ramp-up" field, and define how long (in minutes) the load should be sustained in the "Hold" field.

The time entered in the "Hold" field includes the "Ramp-up" time.

We add 5 steps to simulate the scenario in our example.

The value entered in the "Target VU" field represents the maximum number of users at that point in the test; it does not indicate the amount of increase.

In this example, the maximum load we will apply to the system at the end of step 5 will be 5000.

If you want to increase the number of steps, you can add steps by clicking the "Add Step" button.

Things To Pay Attention

The Sandbox feature cannot be used for Multi-Step tests.

The test time is the sum of the Hold times.

For VUH usage accounts, the amount of VUH deducted from your account after the test is calculated based on the Target VU in the last step you added and the sum of the Hold times.
