+    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. 
+     You can configure <code>Duration (seconds)</code> and <code>Startup
Delay (seconds)</code> to control
+     the duration of each thread group and the after how much seconds it starts.
+     When the test is started, JMeter will wait <code>Startup Delay (seconds)</code>
before starting the Threads 
+     of the Thread Group and run for the configured <code>Duration (seconds)</code>
time.
+     Note those 2 options override the <code>Start time</code> and <code>End
time</code>.
+     
+     <p>Alternatively (although not recommended as not very flexible) you can use the
two other fields <code>Start time</code> and <code>End time</code>.
      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.</p>

 Each sampler has several properties you can set.
 You can further customize a sampler by adding one or more Configuration Elements to the Test
Plan.
