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.
