1000 Threads in 10 seconds looping forever was a test I performed today. Although it ran I'm having issues with the correctness of the test. So therefore this question.
So JMeter waits 'until the GET request has completed.' As a result, the librarian started reading the first page. But will the librarian keep on reading according to JMeter? If so, what would be a more appropriate test? Start a thread, and add an assertion that the film completes within the allotted time? How? And how would I simulate several users at the same time? Is JMeter an appropriate system to test the load of a streaming media server? Thanks. sebb-2-2 wrote: > > On 13/03/2009, Abel MacAdam <[email protected]> wrote: >> >> Hi, >> >> Can someone explain to me what happens when I open a page containing >> streaming media (a flash movie) in JMeter? >> >> In a normal JMeter session I think you test something like (sort of) a >> (string of) request - response combination(s).
