Just to add that JMeter won't download CSS and gifs/jpegs etc unless you tell it to:
Either: - by explicitly downloading them - in which case they will be shown as separate samples Or: - by setting the "embedded" checkbox, in which case they will be shown as children of the original sample, and the total time for the original sample will include the times of all its children. You can see this clearly by using the View Tree Listener. S. On 18/09/06, Peter Lin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
JMeter will only measure the first byte sent to last byte recieved. Depending on the page layout, rendering could take a lot longer. What's your goal? JMeter is meant to test a server's ability to handle requests, not the browser's ability to render a page. I don't know how CompuWare QA load works, so maybe it's parsing the response from the server. I would suggest reading my article on load and stress testing on jmeter's homepage. hopefully that will explain things a bit better and help bring focus to your customer's qa testing. peter On 9/18/06, Rishay Marajah <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi Guys, > > I am currently measuring the performance of a J2EE application.
