Hmm, that's a tough question. It's been addressed a lot on the email list,
probably much better than I could answer, but you might want to check out
http://www.mail-archive.com/jmeter-user%40jakarta.apache.org/
My quick 5c answer is...it is probably an ok test in the sense that you can
show many components relative to each other if you run through enough
iterations. The problem lies in the actual values themselves. If you run the
test on the same machine as the web server your hitting, then it may skew
the results. But even then, most likely, the results are probably good to
show ratios of the different tests in relation to each other. You can also
distribute the test. I would just distribute the test across a few client
machines (don't put it on the server). Loop forever on your test. Then
gradually add users and watch the throughput on the 'Graph Results'
Listener. I would look for a point of inflection and consider that your max
safe load for the server. If your production machine routinely hits that
point durring the heavier parts of the day, you may want to look at
clustering your hardware or profiling the code and optimizing to squeeze
more performance out of what you have (the former is many times a more cost
effective solution as code/OS/DBMS/etc. performance tuning should already
have been performed).
hope this helps,
Mike

multiple values for simple form
Posted by tom keene <to...@tomkeene.com>.
I've been looking through the manual but have been getting a bit
confused as I'm very much in the process of familiarising myself with
the various aspects of jmeter.
Very simply, I want to:
1. make an http request
2. post different variables for each thread
What do need to do in order increment the variables for each thread
that is posted?
Thanks for any help - for what I know is a simple question;)

Michael,
I have created a sample test plan by following the steps as u mentioned ( This resembles, creating a sample web test plan)
I tried the jakarta.apache.org site and the 2 requests as they have mentioned.
I created a file reporter and the txt file I got back has the URL and the number of miliseconds.
My question is when talking abt load test, we input the number of users and the no of times we want to repeat the test and get back the resuts.
What is the parameter "milliseconds". Is that an accurate load test ?
Please help
Thanks
