User Flow Script

Example: Login → Auth → Browse → Logout

This example demonstrates a complete user flow with sequential iterations that simulate a real user session:

name: user-flow-test

rounds:
  - name: simulate-user-flow
    numberOfClients: 100
    arrivalDelay: 3000  # Start a new client every 3 seconds
    runInParallel: false  # Ensures iterations run sequentially
    iterations:
      - name: login-page
        mode: R
        requestCount: 1
        httpRequest:
          httpMethod: GET
          url: https://example.com/login

      - name: authenticate
        startupDelay: 1
        mode: R
        requestCount: 1
        httpRequest:
          httpMethod: POST
          url: https://example.com/auth
          payload:
            raw: |
                {
                  "username": "testuser",
                  "password": "password123"
                }
          headers:
            Content-Type: application/json

      - name: get-dashboard
        startupDelay: 1
        mode: R
        requestCount: 1
        httpRequest:
          httpMethod: GET
          url: https://example.com/dashboard

      - name: logout
        startupDelay: 1
        mode: R
        requestCount: 1
        httpRequest:
          httpMethod: GET
          url: https://example.com/logout

Key Configuration Points

• runInParallel: false - Ensures each step runs after the previous one completes
• startupDelay - Adds realistic delays between user actions
• arrivalDelay: 3000 - New clients start every 3 seconds, simulating gradual user arrival

Run Command
