Within JMeter, how can I add a new Timer?
I would like to be able to simulate software that processes transactions by staff that receive phone calls at certain rates and enter data requests into their terminals which are processed by our service. In particular, I would like to find a way to add an Exponential Timer...because, as far as I can tell, none of the existing Timers provide the right behavior to simulate arrival times. (see the following: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponential_distribution for explanation) Even better would be if we can somehow trigger a Timer relative to the last Timer triggering, rather than after a complete cycle so as to keep the distribution correct.. Would be even better if we could implement a specific queuing model based on standard parameters. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queuing_model It seems like the tool isn't too far off from being able to do this.
