Hi, We need to do performance testing for our website simulating 5000 users using jmeter and other open source tools. The following information is with us:
- A csv file containing links and number of times that link last month. The file is sorted according to popularity of page visited. - With this file I can get information about average number of hits per unit time say per minute. (estimate can be made regarding max load, min load). I will create Scripts which will hit the site pages proportional to there usage. - All the requests will be http requests. - Average size of the page will be 350 KB (including embedded objects within the page). Now we need answer to the following questions: - How should performance testing of the site simulating that much user load using Jmeter should be done? - What should be the configuration of the machine which will simulate these many users? (Someone suggested me 8 c...@3 GHz, 16 GB machine). - If more then one test machine is required please specify there configuration? - How many instances of jMeter we need to run for simulating 5000 users? - How the result file output should be consolidated from various scripts? If someone is using any tool for consolidating the output files please share information regarding the same. - Is there any tool for converting these files to some reports. I have heard that reports can be generated using some available xslt's in ant. But that does not work with large output files. So please suggest alternatives. - What other things should i keep in mind for doing the performance test? We would appreciate if someone can answer these queries based on there experience. .
