About Constant Timer / Constant Throughtput Timer

Hi, I am using JMeter(2.4) for doing the loading testing of XMPP server and my test plan is configured as following: - Test plan   - Thread group     - Loop Controller        - Java Request        - Generate Summary Results        - Constant timer/Constant throughput timer      - CSV Data Set

Or better yet, think about your own particular situation: Are you testing a public facing site or something internal? Are you using a CDN? Are you using content acceleration of any kind? Where and what type of caching is in place? At what point are you injecting load? Directly to the servers?

Flaw in how JMeter runs threads...

Perhaps there is a workaround for this, but I have identified a small flaw in how JMeter is running threads. Assume for a second that I have a test where I want to run a 100 simultaneous users through a procedure. I'd like the test to start and finish running 100 simultaneous threads. The way

Could you use a synchronizing timer to insure your threads run more consistently? I find them to be underrated, and they're worth taking a look at if you haven't yet. -- Bruce Ide flyingrhenqu...@gmail.com

Another idea would be to simply force stop the test using a Test Action Sampler when any thread finishes its 1,000 iteration. This could also help to prove if their is some sort of thread scheduling problem here. For instance, if a single thread hits 1,000 and the other threads are at their 30th

The simple answer is you would never do that. You will always have a ramp-up and a ramp-down. You should exclude these phases in your calculations if you need the values under load only. Even if you thread issue were fixed, how would you deal with differing response times? They still affect your

I have run up to three concurrent meter instances on one Linux VM with one CPU and 2GB ram without ever having issues (last 6 years). I don't use the Jmeter built in vertical scaling mechanism but start them timed through shell scripts. As for the changes to the OS you'll need to up your

The objective of the test is to see what the system performs like when there are 100 concurrent requests going on... So long as we keep it at 100, everything is fine. When I run 1 iterations (100 per thread), I see that about 9400-9600 into the run, my thread count begins to drop off - until I

I am doing a baseline, and I am trying to repeat the same test... As I said, it is only a 'small' flaw - nothing serious. That being said, it is also reflecting a perspective on testing that is perhaps different than yours. When I look at the results, I'd like them to mean something, and I'm

Hello, Thanks for your suggestion. I kind of understood now where i went wrong. While recording, in the Grouping drop down in HTTP Proxy Server, I selected Do not group samplers. Thus each and every internal request was getting recorded and then executed in sequence which was time consuming. Now

Re: Constant throughput timer not giving expected results

Well I did some more testing and I have to say that I'm still confused. All I can figure is that I am misunderstanding how the constant throughput timer works. I was able to configure the throughput timer to get the same results as I did without it (6000 req/sec) but I had to set the total
