It depends on the hardware of the LoadGen Agent and the intensity of validations on the vUser simulation.
We advise the following minimum requirements for a LoadGen Agent:
We advise the following minimum requirements for a LoadGen Agent:
- Windows 7 / 8.1 / 10 (virtual) machine or Windows 2012R2 / 2016.
- .NET framework 4.7.2.
- Visual C++ Runtime 2015-2019.
- Minimum of 1 Dual Core processor.
- Minimum of 4GB internal memory.
- Preferably an SSD hard disk.
Example:
For a test with 250 vUsers: a minimum of 14 Windows 7, 8.1, or 10 (virtual) machines including .NET framework 4.7.2 with a Dual-Core processor, 4GB of internal memory and preferably an SSD hard disk.
Example:
For a test with 250 vUsers: a minimum of 2 Windows Server 2012R2 or 2016 (virtual) machines including 4 Hexa Core processors, 96GB of internal memory, and SSD hard disks.
