title: How can i run this type of thread in JMeter?
body: <p>I have 6 threads loaded and it runs concurrently but i would like to put timers in for it to work in the below way:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Thread group 1 starts at start of test</li>
  <li>After 5 mins thread group 2 starts off in parallel with thread group 1</li>
  <li>After another 5 mins thread group 3 starts off, again in parallel</li>
  <li>After another 5 mins, thread group 4 starts off. This is group uses a file and stops at the end of the file, leaving just thread groups 1, 2 and 3 running.</li>
  <li>A short pause (10 seconds?)</li>
  <li>Then thread group 5 starts off, again driven from a file</li>
  <li>When that finishes, thread group 6 starts off</li>
  <li>When that’s finished, the test finishes: all the threads should stop.</li>
  </ul>
