One more thing to add about "large applications" testing. Basically, what Deepak said stands for me too. Apart from that, I sometimes use a large number of test machines (that only generate load): 3-10 server class machines. Large applications tend to require large amounts of input data - this creates a BIG problem with collecting & interpreting test results (see other discussion on this group). My advice is: 10% of the data set is just as relevant, statistically, as the whole lot, so go low on the reporting , it will reduce test machine usage and make it easier for you to analyse and store your test results efficiently.
Another big issue is how many threads per jmeter instance for a lot of people. The best thing is to experiment on what you can squeeze out of the jmeter and use that setup when running large tests. A little OS or JVM tweaking might be required. --Adrian S On Mon, Sep 17, 2012 at 7:04 PM, MiLi :) <[email protected]> wrote: > Ok, Thanks Deepak for reply > > On Sun, Sep 16, 2012 at 4:57 PM, Deepak Shetty <[email protected]> wrote: > > > If all you wanted to do was test Java classes then possibly there are > > better choices available (TestNG or the most popular JUnit and a bunch of > > other frameworks). > > Most people use JMeter a load testing framework for web > applications[though > > not limited to that] that simulates HTTP requests (As opposed to driving > a > > browser). > > I also use JMeter for my functional tests and for a regression suite for > my > > web application. > > > > regards > > deepak > > > > > > > > On Sun, Sep 16, 2012 at 11:50 AM, MiLi :) <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > > Hi Team > > > > > > I am trying to learn the importance of jmeter, i just managed to run > the > > > java request sampler; but i am failing to understand what are the > > benefits > > > of using it in real time big project > > > > > > can any one tell me following things > > > 1)How big projects uses jmeter, do they have to make changes to their > all > > > java files in order to implement the abstract classes in order to use > > > jmeter? > > > > > > > > > else can any one point me to some manual or somehting > > > > > > thank you ! > > > > > >
