I think 1000 concurrent threads should be feasible on a "good laptop". I've done it with a 32-bit desktop a couple of years ago.
Here's some discussion on this earlier in the list: http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox//jakarta-jmeter-user/200705.mbox/%[email protected]%3e Sonam -----Original Message----- From: JIM B. [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, 10 March 2010 1:52 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Questions on Capacity and Limitations of JMeter I'm new to JMeter and in the process to select a load testing tool. I got a requirement to load test a website running in a cluster of two Window 2008 servers. The website was built upon Microsoft technologies. The load test tool must be able to generate 1,000 concurrent users. Can JMeter do it? Can a good laptop submit 1,000 HTTP requests in a short period (< 1 minute) using JMeter? What is the max HTTP requests can be submitted within one second with JMeter? Is there any limitations on concurrent HTTP sessions on JMeter? Can we test long lasting HTTP session with multiple request/response (e.g., Login, AddToShopingCart, CheckOut, SubmitPayment, Confirmation, ...) with JMeter automatically? What if Javascript and AJAX are used to process session data? Is there any bottleneck due to the client computer where JMeter is running? Can we use multiple laptops at different locations (different IPs) to concurrently load test the same website with JMeter? Any suggestions on client computers? Anything that commercial load test tools (e.g., LoadRunner) can do, but JMeter? -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Questions-on-Capacity-and-Limitations-of-JMeter-tp27844939p27844939.html Sent from the JMeter - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] The information contained in this email and any attached files are strictly private and confidential.
