I need to simulate 'n' number of request per minute. I am load testing 5 different webservices each of which should be simulated with different 'n' requests per minute. Which is the best way?. Do I have to use timers?. Can I attach a timer to a Sampler or should it be attached to a thread group only?.

Add a Constant Throughput Timer to the Thread Group.

If you want separate value of req per minute for each web service, you can create 5 thread groups with 5 timers. Run all of them in one Test Plan
