Seems like a good idea. I need to look at it further.

Hi I am wondering about adding a couple of new command line scripts to Jmeter, so that you could performance test a URL using just the command line script, with a few simple arguments. I.e., no need to build a test plan. For example : "jmeter_test_http -c 30 http://localhost/tomcat.gif -W 2000", to use 30 threads, with a 2000 ms "think time" between each request, and the http request is the one specified on the command line. I think that would broaden the use of JMeter, and would make it easier for "first time users" to nice and easily performance test an URL. Have a look for example at the following article : http://weblogs.java.net/blog/sdo/archive/2007/05/how_to_test_con.html The author of the article is using a command line to test an URL using "faban". Wouldn't it be nice if a small command line could be used with Jmeter as well ? Then it would be very easy to ask the article author if he could perform the same test using Jmeter, so we could see if the numbers are different using Jmeter. So what I am really suggesting, is to to possible add a couple of Java classes, a couple of .sh (and possible .bat) scripts, and possible a couple of test plans that are delivered by default with JMeter, and then we could compete "heads on" with Apache "ab" and "Faban". We could make a command line script that takes exactly the same command line options as the Apache "ab" program, since I think Jmeter is better, since it can support multiple threads. For competing with "faban", I think a simple command line script which takes a few arguments, would allow us to compete easily with faban in the scenario described by the author of the article mentioned above. What do you think about the suggestions ? Is this something you would use ? Some references for you : Apache "ab": http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/programs/ab.html Faban : http://faban.sunsource.net/ Regards Alf Hogemark --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
