By default, the thread group is configured to loop once through its elements.

Thread Group also provides a scheduler. +

Thread Group also allows to specify Thread lifetime. Click the checkbox at the bottom of the Thread Group panel to enable/disable extra fields - in which you can enter the duration of test, the startup delay, the start and end times of the run. + in which you can enter the duration of test and the startup delay You can configure Duration (seconds) and Startup Delay (seconds) to control the duration of each thread group and the after how much seconds it starts. - When the test is started, JMeter will wait Startup Delay (seconds) before starting the Threads - of the Thread Group and run for the configured Duration (seconds) time. - Note those 2 options override the Start time and End time. - -

Alternatively (although not recommended as not very flexible) you can use the two other fields Start time and End time. - When the test is started, JMeter will wait if necessary until the start-time has been reached. - At the end of each cycle, JMeter checks if the end-time has been reached, and if so, the run is stopped, - otherwise the test is allowed to continue until the iteration limit is reached.
