Difference between `arrivalCount` and `arrivalRate` #906

Open alanyong91 opened 3 years ago

alanyong91 commented 3 years ago

What is the difference between arrivalCount and arrivalRate? I find that both quite confusing. Should I apply both or only one can apply?

This seems like it should have been asked under the "Discussions" tab @alanyong91. Yes you should use both as they deal with different aspects of the test. This page gives lots of examples on how they are used together: https://artillery.io/docs/guides/guides/test-script-reference.html#Overview Hope it helps!
