Re: Help with random submission but constant throughput

[Craig Palmer]

From what I understand of your goals, I think the best approach is to 
modify the constant throughput timer so that it has randomness (not a 
difficult modification). That way, on average over time you get the 
exact required rate you require, but at a micro level you get 
randomness that stops cyclic thread access patterns (regardless of 
when the threads start).

Using other timers with randomness in your scenarios wont keep a 
constant rate becuase they execute in addition to your samplers. The 
Constant Throughput Timer is the only element I know of that will 
attempt to control overall rate.

Hi,

I am trying to simulate 180 users hitting a web site randomly, but know
that the throughput should be the web site submitting 1 job every 2 seconds
to the backend.
Any ideas how to combine random rate and yet still control the throughput?

Many thanks,

David
