could be simple explanation. when you used jmeter to test it, was it on a LAN?
often people forget the performance on the LAN will be dramatically different than performance on the internet. having lots of slow connections can and will slow down the webserver, so it's important to consider those factors. peter On 1/16/07, rgjohnson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
We have used JMeter to perform load testing on a webserver. One major problem we have encountered is a large variance between the load JMeter says the server can handle vs. the load the server can handle when real users are accessing the application. In one example, we used JMeter to simulate 60 users running on a single instance of the webserver running an order entry application. All response times and statistics were very favorable. We then put real users on the same order entry appllication and started running into unaccetable performace and response times after about 15 users. I can think of several reasons why response times reported by JMeter could be worse than real life, but I am having a difficult time understanding how response times and server performance can be so much better when simulating users with JMeter than what the response times and server performance are with real users. Has anyone else had this kind of experience? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Variance-between-JMeter-response-times-and-real-users-tf3021728.html#a8392563 Sent from the JMeter - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
