Load Testing · Junior · Question 33 of 75
Why is "100 concurrent users" not the same as "100 requests per second"?
- 1Each user waits for responses and pauses, so RPS depends on timing
- 2Concurrent users are counted per minute and RPS per second
- 3Because each user always sends exactly one request per second
Show the answer
Correct answer: Each user waits for responses and pauses, so RPS depends on timing
Explanation
RPS = users / (response time + think time). 100 users with 2 s per loop give about 50 RPS. Slower responses mean even fewer RPS.
