I have been using JMeter here for about the last 6 months. I like the product, but thought of a couple of enhancements that could help me out. So, I figured I would hopefully contribute to this project by completing these enhancements myself.
I wanted to send the ideas in to this group prior to starting them. First of all I want to make sure no one else is already working on these and second to make sure everyone else thinks they are a needed enhancement. The first enhancement I would like to add would be a timer when running a test. This timer would be used to set a time amount to run instead of the number of transaction. To further explain, currently when I run a test I either have to let in run forever or give it a number of transaction I would like it to run. I think it would be a nice option to say I want to run for 15 minutes and be able to see the number of transactions that we accomplished in that time limit. The second enhancement would be used when you are running multiple Thread Groups. Currently, I am using JMeter to test a Login into a website. I want to scale it and run multiple users at the website. But, my problem is each user needs a unique login. So, to accomplish this I use multiple Thread Groups. I would like to add another type of listener page that sits at the same level as the Thread Group. It's job would be to take the information from each Thread Group and bring it all together onto one page. For instance, if I was running 5 users I am very interested in the average, minimum and maximum times it takes for the login transaction. But, I would like to see the numbers for all the users combined. So, currently I have to manually add all these numbers together by hand. These listener pages would be pretty much the same as the ones under the Thread Group, but would do all this combining for me. Please, let me know what you all think, or if one of these are already being done in some form. Thanks for you opinions.
