Timers in JMeter
Hi
1- I'm not sure how to use uniform random timer, its parameters Random
Delay Maximum and Constant Delay Offset and how they relate to each
other.
2- Also, how do these parameters (Random Delay Maximum and Constant
Delay Offset ) affect the thread group ramp up time for 3 threads,
ramp-up time 5 seconds and 3 loops.
3- I'm also confused with the term sampler and its grouping. With 3
loops set, does that mean that I have 3 samplers ?
I tried reading the user manual and I still don't quite get it.
Looking to hear from you.
Thanks.

1) Timers are explained here:
http://jakarta.apache.org/jmeter/usermanual/component_reference.html#timers
and here:
http://jakarta.apache.org/jmeter/usermanual/test_plan.html#timers
The Uniform Random Timer is explained here:
http://jakarta.apache.org/jmeter/usermanual/component_reference.html#Uniform_Random_Timer
The UR Timer delay "is the sum of the random value and the offset value. "
2) Timers do not affect ramp-up time.
3) Samplers are explained here:
http://jakarta.apache.org/jmeter/usermanual/test_plan.html#samplers
and detailed here:
http://jakarta.apache.org/jmeter/usermanual/component_reference.html#samplers
I suggest you try setting up a simple test plan and experiment.

Hi David
Appreciate your help here.
Is anyone out there who can help explain to David and I on the timers
specifically, with the questions I had in the post ?
Many thanks

Hello Z W, This is of not comprehensive since the number implementation of Timers exceeds my ability I can only provide you
w/ the attached Test Plan jmx and a JPEG of the Table Visualizer Sampler of the recored data from the first 2 HTTP Requests
that have Child Timers attached to them. Run the Test Plan.jmx as provided and change and vary the Timers and the Samplers
to get a feel for how the Child elements, in this case: Timers, interact with their parent elements such as the: ThreadGroup.
I tried to attach a screen shot of my run of the Test Plan.jmx but the JMeter Qmail SMTPd would not allow the JPEG file size so you will have to run the attached JMX Test Plan to get the Table Visualizer numbers. HTH, David.

Hi David
Thanks for sharing that doc but can you help answer my original 3
questions since they require more specific answers, as related to
timers. Examples using numbers to explain the contexts on how they are
used would help me greatly. Other friends are also facing the same
issues of not understanding the timers well and created a lot of
confusion in discussion.

Re: Timers in JMeter

Hello Z W, please find attached a JMX file: Test Plan public.jmx. This file has several Samplers under a single ThreadGroup as a result of JMeter Proxy recording. This means all the HTTP Requests, which are Samplers, were recorded using HTTP Requests which are just Samplers. A few Listeners are thrown in to keep it interesting. I used this Test Plan at a job to compile numbers for the document deliverable to the Chevron IT dept. The compiled document explained why there server application issues were in need of serious attention. If you get to the point where you are prompted for the password it is running correctly. The password may be found in the HTTP Request Samplers. The PDF that I read to build this Test Plan is at:

Re: Timers in JMeter
Posted by David Brown <da...@davidwbrown.name>.
Hello Z W, I'm no JMeter expert but if you study the GUI layout of a Jmeter TestPlan you will see that you add Samplers to ThreadGroups. So if you add 3 Samplers to one ThreadGroup you have 3 Samplers that can take on more attributes such as a Timer. HTH, David.

Yet some, not wise, go to the other side of the globe, to barbarous and unhealthy regions, and devote ten or twenty years, in that they may live,-that is, keep comfortably warm,- and die in New England at last.
