Ramp up mode of doing the performance testing benifits by knowing the application fail at the specific virtual user, which helps the tester to do testing the application below that failed point for steady state testing or allday etc. It also helps to know the reason behind the failure at that particular point and fine tune the application.

If we dont use the vuser Ramp Up means all vusers will run at atime then the server may crashes.Thats why we will majorly prefers simultaneous rampup.we can also identify at which user it failed also.
