Re: Combining Counter and While Controller

Changing the condition from:

to something like:
${__javaScript(${upcCounter}=10)}
helps narrow down the problem to the following chunk of code:
${__P(upcTotal)}
So are JMeter Properties not evaluate-able in logic controllers?
It's a function call (that happens to read a property), such calls are
valid wherever a variable reference is valid.

Display total execution time for test plan
Hi all, I've created a test plan to put some load on a flow of pages we have. I'm quite new to JMeter, and I have a small question on how to get the information I'm looking for. I've got a working test plan, I can see the samples, the throughput, etc, but I can't find anywhere what the time was to execute this testplan, or a single loop of this testplan when I execute it multiple times. Can someone give me a small heads up how I can record and view this time?

Re: Display total execution time for test plan
Hi Adrian, Thanks for the super quick reply. I'm a bit surprised by your first remark though, so maybe I'm having a wrong approach here. I'm currently developing an application which might have some performance issues. Our current target is around 1000 simultaneous logged in users, and around 10 concurrent 'clicks'. My current approach was to sort of simulate that behavior in JMeter, check how long it takes for the simulated users to finish their flows, make some adjustments, test again, and check if my simulated users are faster than before. Based on this, I need the total execution time, but apparently this is not the usual approach, else it would certainly have been in there somewhere. Could you recommend what would be a better way to test my scenario? I'm not a performance rock star at all, so I'm very curious what would be an effective way in improving the application and using JMeter as the load generator in that.

RE: Display total execution time for test plan
I have a similar need, so I cobbled together a special threadgroup to time my
actual 'test' threadgroups, and it can be used to time
the entire test plan as well... I'm not sure it would work well for the
individual thread execution times, but those are really
going to be measured by the number of iterations divided into the total thread
group time anyway. NOTE: this system really only
works if your threadgroups are run consecutively in the test plan - since the
timers have to run after each threadgroup runs... But
it is a start.
BTW, I totally agree with you - this is something that should be included in
the standard tools (e.g. fields in the summary report):
test execution elapsed time, and threadgroup execution elapsed time... The
'test execution elapsed time' needs to be a meta field in
the summary report - since it applies to the entire test. The 'threadgroup
execution elapsed time' needs to be an optional row added
to the summary report output that identifies the threadgroup name and elapsed
time.
Basically I add a threadgroup at the top of my test plan that gets the current
time in milliseconds since epoch. Then after each
threadgroup that is actually 'sampling' my system, I add another threadgroup
that updates the time elapsed with the current info.
If you save the below as a .jmx file, you can see what I'm talking about. Just
add your threadgroup between the two that are defined
already, and run a test - it will show you a timer row _before_ the first
thread group, and another _after_ the first thread group:

Re: unable to share variables
This suggests that you are trying to share variables across threads -
is that the case?
For testing I only have one thread to cut down time, but I was trying to
use multiple threads before.
CSV Dataset or the StringFromFile function might be suitable for
reading the file.
To write to a single file, a Listener would be appropriate.
I added this to my BeanShellSampler.bshrc:
bsh.shared.lock = new ReentrantReadWriteLock();
bsh.shared.vpaths = new Vector(1000, 1000);
bsh.shared.index = 0;
I tried declaring the var types before the bsh.shared... with the same
issues.
I have a beanshell preprocessor outside the threads group with this code:
import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;
int wm = Integer.parseInt(vars.get(write_mode));
if(wm == 0)
{
BufferedReader file = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(paths));
String s;
while((s = file.readLine()) != null)
{
bsh.shared.vpaths.addElement(new String(s));
}
file.close();
}
In the thread group I have a loop with this beanshell preprocessor on it:
import java.util.*;
import java.util.concurrent.locks.ReentrantReadWriteLock;
bsh.shared.lock.readLock().lock();
vars.put(path, bsh.shared.vpaths.elementAt(bsh.shared.index));
++bsh.shared.index
bsh.shared.lock.readLock().unlock();
The above is on the read type of test. I've tried forward declarations
but it seems like beanshell can't tell what type of variables they are, it
works fine on integers. I've also tried using putObject and getObject,
but it seems that the vars are reset each time the shell is invoked, even
if the reset is set to false.
I was using the BufferedReader before directly in each read or write
preprocessor, but it only got the first line of the file so I figured a
string list might work, but it just has different issues.

Re: Display total execution time for test plan
Hi Adrian and Eric, maybe I'm missing some point, but to me the total duration of the test is rarely important nor predictable. If you need it as a baseline, you can use an aggregate result listener, run some test (maybe with one or two users) and then you can multiply the number of samples (eventually divided the number of loops executed) by the average execution time. So you can easily have the net time you need to do a single loop. This is net of time spent on timers. But when you start having 1000 users, you have a lot of parallelizaton, but obviously not the 100% (that would be ideal). Also in some case, you have to add the ramp-up time. In my experience, we usually end up measuring the behaviour of few key transactions (e.g. submit the order, or login/logout), under different situations and loads, The relationship between average, mean, 90nth % and max return an idea of the way things go. Note that these transactions are also the longest. A static page or an image takes few msec to download, and most of the time spent is due to the network latency, which is not something we can easily optimize. This is my point of view, feel free to share your thoughts. best regards Sergio Il 20/03/2012 17:55, Erik Pragt ha scritto: Hi Adrian, Thanks for the super quick reply.

CSVDataset and StringFromFile are designed for use with JMeter threads.
Given what you have said are the requirements, these are suitable.
If they don't seem to work, then describe what you have tried, what
happened, and what you expected to happen.
