Hello all, I'm in the process of setting up benchmark testing to various web sites with and without our proxy server. I've set up JMeter and wanted some advice on whether I am approximating generic out-of-the-box browser behaviour appropriately. Essentially we are trying to compare the differences in latency between certain sites with and without our proxy.
So far my current set up is as follows: 1 Thread Group (nothing special, 1 user, 1 second ramp-up period, 20 iterations The thread group has the following config elements: 1 HTTP Request Defaults (Retrieve All Embedded Resources checked, as it seems it'd be useless without retrieving all of the objects a normal browser would) 1 HTTP Cache Manager (defaults) 1 HTTP Cookie Manager (defaults) Samplers: 1 HTTP Request (/ for path as I am just testing the index page - for now, will modify or add additional pages as required, Retrieve All Embedded Resources, again as this seems the right thing to do) Listeners: Right now I'm just using 'Graph Results' as they want visual, but I wouldn't mind advice for collecting other relevant data. I'd appreciate any advice, as this is somewhat new to me. Regards, EJ Nivara
