What Is the Number of Concurrent Users?

A pressure test simulates actual service operations of users, while the number of concurrent users refers to the number of users who perform service operations on the system simultaneously.

For example, when a game website holds a competition at a certain time, devices are expected to support a large number of concurrent users. In this case, the number of concurrent users can be set to simulate the number of users performing operations at the same time.

The number of concurrent users, the concurrency duration, and think time are used to calculate the number of concurrent requests and the maximum concurrent requests supported by the server. These numbers are compared with the desired numbers to determine whether the customer requirements can be met.
