Question on doco

[wired00]

Should this:
https://artillery.io/docs/guides/getting-started/writing-your-first-test.html#Load-Phases

config:
  target: "https://example.com/api"
  phases:
    - duration: 60
      arrivalRate: 5
      name: Warm up
    - duration: 120
      arrivalRate: 5
      rampTo: 50
      name: Ramp up load
    - duration: 600
      arrivalRate: 50
      name: Sustained load

Actually be?

config:
  target: "https://example.com/api"
  phases:
    - duration: 60
      arrivalRate: 5
      name: Warm up
    - duration: 120
      arrivalRate: 5
      rampTo: 50
      name: Ramp up load
    - duration: 600
      arrivalCount: 50
      name: Sustained load

Note the arrivalCount: 50.

I came to this conclusion over detail in fixed number of arrivals per second. it describes the fixed number would use arrivalCount

hi @wired00 👋 arrivalCount of 50 would create 50 virtual users during the entire load phase, which is 600s in this case. So, only 50 users in 10 minutes, whereas the example sets arrivalRate of 50 to launch 50 every second for 10 minutes to create sustained load.
