Yes, just add a Simple Data Writer to each thread group; use different file names. > What would be the most effective (from > managing the test plans perspective) way to structure this? I'm not entirely clear how the test plans differ. If they are sufficiently similar that they can be parameterised, then the same plan can be used for different purposes. E.g. thread count and ramp-up could be defined using the __P() function, and the values passed in on the command-line, e.g. jmeter -n -t testplan.jmx -Jthreads=20 -ltestplan20.jtl -jtestplan20.log etc. > thanks. > > brett > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
