I’m running some a simple script of http samplers, for 6 hours, using duration to end the test.
It seems like when a test ends because duration is reached, the remaining calls for active threads sometimes are quite slow or they just fail all together. The result is a spike in response times. Pretty much what is described here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/41235666/calls-at-the-end-of-script-execution-are-failing-in-jmeter and here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/49607504/sudden-increase-of-response-time-in-jmeter I don't understand the suggested solution in those posts. They both suggest ramping down, but don't explain why. I just want the calls the finish normally and then the test ends. Anyone have suggestions or ideas on what is going on? Thanks!
