Using `rampUsers` per ELB Doc?

Gatling (Open-Source)

Looking at Best Practices for Evaluating ELB, I read:

Once you have a testing tool in place, you will need to define the growth in the load. We recommend that you increase the load at a rate of no more than 50 percent every five minutes. Both step patterns and linear >patterns for load generation should work well with Elastic Load Balancing.

I thought to use rampUsersPerSec from Gatling - Professional Load Testing Tool, but I was thinking of:

time (seconds) | users |

  • | - |
    0 | 0 |
    5 | 5 |
    10 | 8 |
    15 | 11 |
    20 | 17 |
    25 | 25
    |

Note that 51.50 rounds to 8, 81.50 rounds to 11, etc.

So, I’m trying to ramp up users to match the ELB doc.
