Thanks for the feedback!

Yes, I get different response times because the system under test is taking
longer to respond when under higher load.

No, there are no timers, it's just running as fast as possible.  However,
it's strange that the server seems to think as fast as possible is slower
than either the GUI client or the non-GUI client.

The server cannot respond any faster than JMeter is able to drive it;
however it may respond slower. in which case JMeter will wait for it
to respond before sending the next request in the thread.

If the server is having problems, then the sample elapsed times will
normally start increasing.

The JMeter server sends back the samples to the client after the
sample has finished, but before the next sample can occur, so any
delays in returning the sample to the client will slow down the rate
at which the thread can issue requests to the server. This is
equivalent to adding a delay after each request.

So you need to compare the elapsed times. If these are similar in both
situations, then the server is behaving the same.

Then compare the gaps between sample requests. If these are much
longer than expected from the test plan, it's likely that the
server-client communication overhead is causing a problem.

That makes sense of what I am seeing.  Thanks for the information!

Do you also get different response times?

And are you pacing these requests using timers or are they just going as
fast as they can?

Re: JMeter GUI vs JMeter Server

2011-09-20 Thread patelakhil
Have you tried to run using command line from server as well as local
machine? Even try to avoid RDP of server during load test execution. Save
the results on the same machine from which are your starting the test
execution.

This difference may be due to servers communication with local instance to
send the results data.

I think same type of reply is posted on another similar thread.

Thanks.
