I'm rather confused... I've been collating some load test results this morning and I don't understand what JMeter is telling me.
I've loaded my JTL files into the Aggregate Report element and I am told that the three elements of my test (three different SQL queries in three ThreadGroups) did the following numbers of samples and the following throughputs: type1: 5169 searches, 348/min type2: 11917 searches, 804/min type3: 2119 searches, 144/min Thing is, I ran the test for five minutes (and the times on the log files confirms this) so I can't see any way in which the througput figures are right. Surely, for example, (11917/300)*60 = 2384 searches/min? Opening the XML log file my SimpleFileWriter generated, I have the following timestamps for the first and last entries in the file: 1131454087894 1131526605450 (all three search types ran throughout the test, so these approximate numbers hold across type1, type2, and type3). The difference between these two is 72,517,556 and I can't make that make sense in any unit of time I'm familiar with. Can anyone confirm what format the timeStamp element of the file output is in? If I could make sense of that, perhaps I could figure out how JMeter is calculating the throughput figures. (I'd like to just turn to the source code, but unfortunately my time is very short right now. However, I am hoping to contribute some code to the JMeter project so I promise I'm not using your time up for nothing!) 53517433
