Hi All,
I needed some help in loading my web application using JMeter. This is what I've tried so far. Load Scenario: Apply load in multiple batches of 20 users as follows: * Ramp up time for each set of 20 users is 200 seconds. * Stabilization period of 10 minutes between 20th user and 21st user, 40th and 41st user etc... Approach #1: Till now, I've been gradually loading my web application by starting off multiple instances of JMeter client on a single machine - each instance adding 20 concurrent user threads. Pros: * I could go upto 80 simultaneous users (4 instances of Jmeter client) on 1 client machine. * Separate log files generated for each instance, hence if there are failures, I can relate to which user# failed or slowed down. Cons: * Cannot go very far beyond 80 threads with this approach. * I do not get a consolidated .csv result file. Approach #2: Using JMeter-server option and multiple client machines. Pros: * Get a nice consolidated report for multiple JMeter clients. Cons: * Since I can launch only 1 Jmeter instance on the remote machine, I'll need large number of client machines to achieve the load scenario * I do get a consolidated .csv result file but it is not possible to figure which user# failed or slowed down. Can someone help me figuring out Approach #3 to beat the cons associated with the Approach #1 and #2? Thanks :-), Amogh
