Jmeter user accounts vs. streams

I am just starting to use jmeter and I have a question that I could not find an answer to:

Is the thread the same as the user?

I ask that I have a web page that requires a username / password. If I use the same username and password while recording my steps, but then run with 50 threads during testing, is this a simulation of 50 users or just one?

Do I need to create 50 test user accounts to validate this correctly? I know I can use variables and various controls in jmeter to do this, but what I need to understand is what is required.

And, if I don't need to create 50 users, why not? It seems like all threads will use the same session information - or does that not come into play?

In JMeter 1 User = 1 Thread

Yes, you must have 50 test user accounts to be realistic.



CSV_Data_Set_Config is a component for viewing variables.

You understand well, 50 threads use 1 account => TOTALLY WRONG AND NON-RESPONSIBLE :-)
