Hi Assuming your test script is correct (i.e. you have extracted any dynamic parameters and you can see all your content correctly in view Results Tree) then a difference between a JMeter test v/s a user is "think time" - The amount of time a user spends reading the page / typing stuff before actually clicking the next link. (so active users i.e. ones who have a session on your site is always far > users who are actually doing something on your site concurrently). By default JMeter has 0 think time. If you need JMeter to simulate this behavior then you must use one of the timers available. http://jakarta.apache.org/jmeter/usermanual/component_reference.html
Again , if your script is wrong then you need to fix that first (for e.g. make sure your requests dont have any session ids , make sure you dont have any dynamic parameters) regards deepak On Tue, Aug 31, 2010 at 9:36 AM, mjwillis <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hello Everyone, > I am a new JMeter user and am having difficulty setting up my tests to > accurately simulate users.
