It is similar to arrivals thread group, the difference is that this thread group does not have ramp up time and steps options.
The Start and End Values: Start value means arrival rate at the beginning of the time frame (duration) and end value means arrival rate at the end of the time frame (duration).
Start Value=30
End Value=60
Duration= 60 Sec
30 Arrivals will be added per Sec at the beginning of timeframe. 1 arrival for every 2 sec to reach target 60 arrivals by end of 60 sec.
Adding up all the arrival rates from 1st to 60th second gives total number of arrivals=30+30+31+31+32+32+….+60 ~= 2700.
