Hi >"What is the best value for Constant timers in Jmeter?" There isn't a best value - Timers are used to simulate think times in a test (or introduce delays) and are dependent on what you are trying to do in your test. For e,g, if say a user is presented a registration form , then the user is likely to spend some time filling(larger delay) it v/s say a search results page where the user might simply click the top result (smaller delay). So its upto you and your test As such the constant timer doesn't work for most use cases -since delays are random in nature. Constant timers are sometimes useful in diagnosing race/ deadlock conditions where it is for e.g. necessary that thread 2 start exactly x milliseconds after thread 1
>Should I use Constant timers or use Throughput Constant timers? Again - depends on what you want to do. Constant timers - delay a thread for the specified time Constant throughput timer - Maintain the throughput at the specified value (i.e. say you want to accomplish 100 requests per minute). Note in both cases while the names say "constant" - the value can be changed while the test is running. I'd suggest you think about what you want your test to do and then match it to how to do that in JMeter rather than the other way around. regards deepak On Mon, Aug 10, 2015 at 12:02 AM, Dang Quoc Bao (FHO.FSB) < [email protected]> wrote: > Hi All! > I have researched about Jmeter.
