Is ThroughputController useful?
Hi.
While working on bug#23027, I've written 5 test cases for the
ThroughputController:
- ByNumber 2 FAILS
- ByNumber 0 PASSES
- ByPercent 0% FAILS
- ByPercent 33.33% FAILS
- ByPercent 100% PASSES
I've carefully reviewed my tests and their results and I'm sure it's the
component that is seriously faulty. It will require heavy reviewing if
we want it to work as documented (and to user's expectations). The
question is whether it's worth the work: I've never used it, and
although I can guess the interest of the "By Percent" option, I really
see no use for the "By Number" option -- sort of an extension to the
OnceOnlyController... an N-Times-OnlyController.
Also, the naming is very inappropriate. Running N times only or x% of
the times really has not much to do with throughput.
Do you think this "By Number" option is useful?
Have you ever found the "By Percent" option useful?
If nobody answers positively, I would deprecate the "By Number" option
-- or the whole component -- rather than fixing it.

Salut,
Jordi.

BTW, one reason why I believe the ByNumber option is not very useful is
that it always runs one time less than configured for. The fact that
such an obvious and easy to spot bug has not been reported suggests that
very few people use this option.
