Re: Jmeter sequencing question

Hrm.  Ah.   Right.  Use the Once Only controller.  After rereading the 
docs, I think it'll just do it once per test, rather than once per 
thread, if it's a direct child of the thread group.

So:

Thread Group
   |
   |-Once only
   |   |- Steps 1 and 2
   |
   |-Loop Controller
   |   |- Step 3
   |
   |-Once only
       |- Step 4

Mike,

Thanks for your quick response. Unfortunately this does not work (I'm
using Jmeter 1.9.1).
The UI does not allow a child element of a thread group under a parent
thread group. I can  workaround this by adding the new thread group
under the test plan and then doing a drag-drop on the new thread group
so it's under the main one.
When I run the test however, both outer and inner thread groups start
concurrently and I see pages from step 3 being hit at the same time as
the pages from steps 1 and 2.

Krishnan

Add a second thread group as a child of the main thread group.  The 
outer thread group is executed once, and contains steps 1, 2, inner 
thread group, and step 4.

The inner thread group you set up to do step three with multiple
threads.
That should work.

Hi,

I'm using JMeter to run a load test on my web app. I also have some 
benchmarking code in the app that I'll use to check the performance of


various objects in the system. I need to be able to do the following 
and can't seem to find an easy way to do it. Any help will be 
appreciated.

1. Hit URLs A,B,C,D,E just once (to ensure all page compiles have 
taken
place)
2. Hit URL BENCHMARK_INIT just once (initialize the benchmark
component)

3. Multiple threads X multiple times
        Hit URLs A,B,C,D,E in sequence. (actual load test)
4. After (3) is complete Hit URL BENCHMARK_PRINT just once (print the 
benchmarks accumulated)

I can figure out how to do each of the steps but I can't seem to 
sequence the calls so that steps 1, 2 and 4 happen just once (and not 
once per thread). I guess I can always have 3 test plans and run them 
one after another but it would be good if I can use just one test plan


for the whole thing.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Krishnan
