Random timer for each request?
Hi,
I need to put random delays between each request (sample) I'm calling so as
to emulate a real user stepping through webpages. Is there a global timer I
can use for this?
Thanks

Hi,
You can use a Constant Timer and a Random Variable:
http://jakarta.apache.org/jmeter/usermanual/component_reference.html#Constant_Timer
<http://jakarta.apache.org/jmeter/usermanual/component_reference.html#Constant_Timer>
http://jakarta.apache.org/jmeter/usermanual/component_reference.html#Random_Variable

That is how all timers work:

Hey,
Use the gaussian random timer, its the best.
It has the advantage of giving random timeouts with a higher probability for
a value in the middle of the range (at the end if you plot all numbers
returned on the rate of occurrence by it you'll have a gaussian
distribution). so if you know that a user spends an average of x seconds on
a single page and sessions usually last 9-15 page imprints and a total of y
minutes, its pretty easy to estimate a realistic deviation from the average
on that single page.
Read more about the offset and deviation so you'll understand how to
configure them.
Good luck,
Adrian S
