Does your application accept standard browser connections? If so, then create a test plan that uses the application, and set the loop count so that it runs for sufficiently long. Adjust the number of threads to change the load. Or you can use the Constant Throughput Timer and adjust the load, for example by reading the value from a file or function. Or in conjunction with BeanShell: http://jakarta.apache.org/jmeter/usermanual/best-practices.html#beanshell_server > Is Jmeter the best way to test that ? > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
