Question about Adding a new Timer
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.

It seems like the tool isn't too far off from being able to do this.

Hmm...I found this reference:
http://jakarta.apache.org/jmeter/usermanual/component_reference.html#Bea
nShell_Timer
It might be a good step in the right direction.

There is a BeanShell Timer. You can write any code you want to provide
the time delay. This could be use to prototype the timer; if necessary
an actual java version could be created.
