Hello JMeter gurus,
I have a need to stress a mail server. I am planning on using jmeter,
as most of the framework is very well done. I have looked at the
documentation, including the developer documentation. I think I
understand how to add a protocol, but I have one problem. I did see a
mail on the user mailing list, but it didn't seem to have a resolution.
Basically I have two problems:
1. I have to deal with unique users.
Instead of a thread group, I need a user group. Currently I can't
find the ability to specify a pattern for unique users in jmeter so I
plan on sub classing Thread Group object to add this. Is this the right
plan, I looked at the feature requests, and didn't see anything about
this so I assume there aren't any current plans to add this.
2. Because of the size of the stress test, I will need to use several
machines simultaniously to generate the needed load. I saw an emial on
the user list about how JMeter will only alow running a test on one
remote machine at a time, I would like to distrubute the load generating
to several machines. How hard will it be to do this, are there current
plans to do so?
I appreciate any answer you have to this and any tips you might have /
places to start. I've looked over the code and I think I can implement
most things just fine. One of the protocols I plan on implementing is
IMAP, but IMAP clients typically keep the connection open and rescan
for new mails. I am planning on writing an IMAP connection manager
similar in purpose to the JDBC connection manager, I think a very basic
one wouldn't be hard to implement.
Thanks in advance,
Jason Corbett
