Is it possible to measure the time to receive a callback?

[Valentin Matilla <va...@kurago.software>]

Hello,

we are considering using JMeter to load test one of our backend applications. The truth is that JMeter looks very good and we like a lot what we are reading. We just have a question about how to test one of our scenarios.

Some of the tasks that our application does take a lot of time (between 5-10 minutes). The client sends a request, an identifier is returned, the task starts processing and when the task is finished the service does a callback to send the result.

Can JMeter test the time between sending the request and receiving the response?

Thank you very much

Take a look at Transaction Controller 
<https://jmeter.apache.org/usermanual/component_reference.html#Transaction_Controller>, 
it sums up the elapsed time of its child Samplers 
<https://jmeter.apache.org/usermanual/component_reference.html#samplers> 
and reports it as a "transaction".

When it comes to the approach normally when people need to test some 
background action like batch or callback they create a Sampler which is 
checking the operation status and put it under the While Controller 
<https://www.blazemeter.com/blog/while-controller-jmeter> so JMeter 
"waits" for the operation to complete. In conjunction with the 
Transaction Controller you will get the total operation time.

However depending on the network protocol used in your system under test 
you will need to take another approach, JMeter is very flexible and if 
it doesn't support some scenario you can always create your own plugin.
