I'm new to JMeter and want to use it to do performance testing on an application we have that uses a proprietary protocol. Also, the application uses a persistent connection. Users typically connect to the server in the morning and disconnect in late afternoon.
I have ASCII files that contain daily 'sessions', i.e. every request sent for a specific user, followed by the idle time until the next request. I want to replay these 'sessions' (possibly at a faster rate) in order to to load testing on the application server
My plan is to write a custom Controler that will connect to the server at startup
and then open one of the session files and loop through the request. I also need
a custom Timer that will pause for the length of the idle time until the next request.
My questions are:
- Is this the right way to tackle this problem?
- If so, is there a way to get the Timer to ask the Controler for the next amount of
idle time? (I'm a bit confused as to how the architecture goes...)
Thanks,
