JMeter can test async protocols like messaging. To get it to work though isn't easy. You can look at how the JMS point-to-point sampler works. the hard part is really correlating the request message with the response message.

Hi, I am planning to do some load testing over SIP (Session Initation) protocol. SIP is highly asynchronous protocol. After opening SIP pipe, you never know what kind of messages arrive from there and in which order. The test client needs to maintain various states in its memory so that it can give a proper answer to each messages. To be exact, I need to launch many test clients who discuss with each other and go to various states (a good analogue could be instant messaging with various presence states and different messages). So far, what I have been poking into Jmeter sources, all examples have been quite static - individual HTTP requests and so on. Do you think Jmeter is right tool for me? How should I approach the problem? So far, I have been reading Jmeter sources and I know how to create a support for new protocol. But I am afraid I don't know how to deal with asynchronous incoming messages... A lot of ifs after each "SIP Request"? Doesn't sound too good... Any help would be appreciated. -- Mikko Ohtamaa [EMAIL PROTECTED] +358 40 743 9707 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
