You arent factoring in number of threads Lets say you have 1 thread makes 10 requests each takes 3 seconds Avg time = 3 seconds Throughput = 0.3 request per seconds.
Lets say now you have 10 threads each make 10 request and each request takes 3 seconds (because the load is light , your server takes the same time to respond) Avg time = still 3 seconds Throughput is 10 times as much = 3 requests per seconds There are other factors as well . I believe JMeter throughput does take delays , timers in its time calculation whereas response time wont regards deepak On Wed, Jan 5, 2011 at 9:27 AM, Ivar Vasara <[email protected]>wrote: > Hi there, > > I'm sorry if this is a FAQ, but I haven't found the answer and I am still > not clear on the meaning behind some of the numbers in the Summary Report. > Specifically, on a recent test I have an 'Average' response time of 2926ms > and a 'Throughput' of 2.9 requests/second.
