Help with random submission but constant throughput
Hi,
I am trying to simulate 180 users hitting a web site randomly, but know
that the throughput should be the web site submitting 1 job every 2 seconds
to the backend.
Any ideas how to combine random rate and yet still control the throughput?
Many thanks,
David

From what I understand of your goals, I think the best approach is to
modify the constant throughput timer so that it has randomness (not a
difficult modification). That way, on average over time you get the
exact required rate you require, but at a micro level you get
randomness that stops cyclic thread access patterns (regardless of
when the threads start).
Using other timers with randomness in your scenarios wont keep a
constant rate becuase they execute in addition to your samplers. The
Constant Throughput Timer is the only element I know of that will
attempt to control overall rate.
