Many people are still using 2.13 which Is why I mentioned it. However there is still a potential problem, duration does not interrupt timers or test action waits.
Also if you have samplers that are currently awaiting a response, it waits until the response before terminating. This means if you have a 10 minute wait, via timer or test action, in your test plan and one if the threads is in the timer or test action, or your sampler is currently waiting to timeout, you have to wait for that to finish after the duration ends. I understand this is by design and is also present in the UI but it does cause problems when running real world user journeys. Not a major problem but something a lot of people fall into. -----Original Message----- From: Philippe Mouawad [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 01 March 2017 18:04 To: JMeter Users List <[email protected]> Subject: Re: Test Duration Hello, The methods described by Antonio and Sebb work perfectly well. If you have any issue, please provide more details and an example test plan. No need to switch to old 2.13 for this.
