Hello, I will give little bit background regarding my testing
Scope: To stress test presence load (call progress updates - HTTP requests) against presence server which has Jboss application running on it. Aim is to check the breaking point of the box with respect to CPU usage/memory/load average Testing set up on Jmeter: 1) Running this on Remote machine so that I don¹t choke my physical hardware 2) I am sending POST commands with 10,000 users in my csv data file. 3) Number of threads 250 (I tried with 1000 and 500 initially) 4) Ramp up period in seconds - 60 5) loop count - forever 6) Checked ³Delay thread creation until needed² 7) HTTP cache manager - Max Number of elements in cache - 5000 How I am running this test: 1) I am using X11 to run this on remote server using following command /jmeter -n -t PresenceTesting_script.jmx -l presencetestinglog.jtl -H xx.xxxx.xxxx.xxxx -P 8080 2) I can see the traffic coming to the destination box without an issue. 3) Top displays Java Processes which is what this test is all about. My Questions: 1) Irrespective of Number of threads, the target machine has same load average, Not sure what I can change on Jmeter itself. Looks I am spiking the box??? (unclear) 2) How can I make this multi threaded. Meaning create number of thread groups and run them simultaneously instead of one after the other. I do not see the option (http://jmeter.apache.org/usermanual/test_plan.html) Please advice Thank you, Sushma --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
