Hi list. I'll try and keep this short. I've been using jmeter for a couple of weeks now and while I'm still a newbie I find it very easy to use - once I got past a couple of hiccups. I've been building a suite of load tests for a site in development via proxy recording but the dev lead wants me to test the pages "as a real world user would" whatever that means. I think what he's getting at is for me to reassure him (and more importantly the client) that jmeter will be loading up the server as a bunch of users would i.e. making page requests that include all the html, css, images, javascript. Unfortunately what I think his "real user" comment is getting at is asking "Does jmeter access a site like a user would i.e. clicking through the links, etc."
I'm sure it doesn't, but how do I go about telling him that jmeter does in fact mimic a real world load i.e. pages being requested and loaded like they would be by users clicking on links? I've been reading doco but so far haven't come across something I can quote at him. I think he's nervous jmeter won't actually do what I tell him it does. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
