In manual and examples Thread group elements are the beginning points of any test plan. ... Multiple threads are used to simulate concurrent connections to your server application . Max load by looping multiple Scenario's with thread groups and looping multiple controllers Therefore the scope of threads variable is important for process use on cpu. So define on each scenario.
I am running tress test. Running#Users/load%: 5K/20%, 15K/50%, 25K/90% concurrent run on 2 load servers (web cluster) with 40 Scenario's. Only using simple controllers with mix of POST, FTP and validate external. Duration of test is < 1 hour. Testplan is max 4 level deep otherwise I will encounter problems running jmeter However if your server is configured to monitor or maximize the number of threads, processes or resources than you will not reach the max load. This is often the case for hosted virtual servers. Hope this help.

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] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
