Setup Thread Group

It is a special form of Thread Group used to perform necessary actions before execution of regular thread group starts. Behavior of threads mentioned under Setup Thread Group is exactly same as normal thread group.Jmeter automatically triggers Setup Thread group before normal one.

Example

• Import amount of Data from Database and store them into variables.
• Create / Register multiple users to be used in Test Thread Group.

Teardown Thread Group

It is a special form of Thread Group used to perform necessary actions after the execution of regular thread group completes. Behavior of threads mentioned under Setup Thread Group is exactly same as normal thread group.

Example

• Delete Users which were created in beginning of the test.

NOTE

By default, TearDown Thread Group won’t run if the Test is completed as expected. If you want to run it anyway, mark the check-box “Run tearDown Thread Groups after shutdown of main threads” from Test Plan element.
