every 15 minutes a user send a file to the server

every 2.5 seconds a user pings the server

Answer 1

1. Add Thread Group to your Test Plan and configure it to have 4000 virtual users, loop forever and run for 84600 seconds (24 hours * 60 minutes per hour * 60 seconds per minute)

   

2. Add a HTTP Request to ping the server

3. Add Constant Throughput Timer as a child of the HTTP Request sampler and configure it to fire 12 times per minute (60 seconds in minute / 5 seconds)

   

   Amend Calculalte throughput based on dropdown value according to your test scenario (whether each user or any user should ping the server each 5 seconds)

4. Apply the similar configuration for remaining use cases.
