I need to run my script. example:
Here 10 threads, which running it alternately. He is creating create open connection, open connection, open conncetion... and also seven times, after read,read,read...7x samplers write,write, write..7x after read, read, read..x7.
I need to make open connection, read, write, read ten times parallel. How i can to make it?
Once started each JMeter thread (virtual user) starts executing Samplers upside down (or according to Logic Controllers) as fast as it can.
If you want all 10 users to first execute Open Connection, then all 10 users to execute read, etc. you need to add Synchronizing Timer and set Number of Simultaneous Users to Group by to be equal to the number of threads in your Thread Group.
This way each Sampler in the Synchronizing Timer's scope will be executed by 10 users at exactly the same moment so you will have
10 concurrent executions of open connection
followed by 10 concurrent executions of read
etc.

I have a thread group with 2 http requests, the first one is for the user to log in and have two regular expression extractor so I can extract the credentials.
the second http request should use those credentials in the header.
This is all working except that jmeter is executing all login requests, and after that executes the second request.
I was expecting the login request to execute and after that the second request, and then repeat the whole thing.
Any sugestion?
If you just want to repeat your test flow set in Thread Group
Each thread will execute the test plan in its entirety and completely independently of other test threads. Multiple threads are used to simulate concurrent connections to your server application.
Number of Threads = 1 and Loop Count with the number of times you want to repeat.
This way you will execute the samplers sequentially.
If you set Number of Threads above 1 it will execute test flows in parallel, if you need it you will have to use Synchronizing Timer.
The purpose of the SyncTimer is to block threads until X number of threads have been blocked, and then they are all released at once.
I have written a simple test plan with the following steps
Test Plan
View Results in Table
Aggregate Report
Thread group
Threads: 5
Ramp-up period: 0s
Loop count: 1
Inside Thread Group
A dummy sampler to prove that all threads are running concurrently
HTTP request to upload a file
When I run the above tests, the dummy sampler is executed nearly the same time. However, I realize that only 1 thread can execute the HTTP request to upload file at a time, even when I have multiple threads. So the final result will be Thread 1 upload file -> finish -> Thread 2 upload file ... e.t.c.
Is this a normal behaviour and can I make file upload performs concurrently from multiple threads?
It depends on the number of threads, loop count and ramp-up period. JMeter starts threads within the time frame you specify in "Ramp-up period" input and the threads start executing samplers upside down (or according to the Logic Controllers). When there are no samplers to execute or loops to iterate the thread is being shut down.
If you need to configure JMeter to execute a certain request at exactly the same time by several threads add Synchronizing Timer as a child of this request and configure "Number of Simulated Users to Group by" setting to match the number of simultaneous users
Example execution:
As you can see, Dummy Samplers were started in 2 seconds while HTTP Request samplers were executed at nearly the same moment.
See Using the JMeter Synchronizing Timer article for more information on implementing these "rendezvous points" in JMeter tests
I have requirement where after 10 simultaneous users all the users should be diverted to waiting screen. If there are less then 10 simultaneous users then
dont show waiting screen.
I want to use current thread or all thread in my script for same.
I guess allThread can be used to achieve the same.
It would be good help if answers are with example
You can get the number of active threads in the current Thread Group using __groovy() function like:
${__groovy(ctx.getThreadGroup().getNumberOfThreads(),)}
This way you will be able to determine the currrent number of active threads and execute this or that code line using i.e. If Controller basing on the received number.
You can use Synchronizing Timer to pause threads execution until specified number of threads will be available in order to kick them off simultaneously. This way you will be sure that desired amount of threads are active at the given moment of time.
I have concerns about the duration of executing JMeter Test Scenario.
In fact, if we execute a manual test with 1 user in 1 hour, we will find the same duration or little more with 3 user.
But, with JMeter test the duration with 1 user will be multiplied by the number of users.
During my scripting with this tool, I've noticed that JMeter always wait for the response of the request to pass to another request. It's like we have 1 user doing the work of multiple users.
Does any body have explanations about this issue?
Can we configure JMeter to perform like we have x users working in // ?
Depends how you are simulating users..
Each thread will wait for a response, but users are represented by different threads, and threads do not wait for each other to complete samples, they are independent.
If you are using threads in thread group to represent users (which is the intended usage), the threads will start concurrently and run independently, so you should see the 3 users complete in an hour, as with manual tests. If this is not happening, then you should check the resources used on the client running jmeter during single thread and multi thread runs. Or perhaps the bottleneck may be in the transport (ie bandwidth). All you have determined so far is that the bottleneck is prior to the server, you need to determine where it is.
It is also possible you have created a thread group for each simulated user. If this is the case you can set the groups to run consecutive or concurrent. The setting for this is on the Test Plan element at the very top of the tree. You want concurrent, so untick 'Run Thread Groups Consecutively'.
So it comes down to how you are simulating users.
In ideal world if you test your site with 1 user all set of actions completes in 1 hour. If you add another 100 users - still one hour, 1000 users - 1 hour.
In real world server response time increases with the number of concurrent threads. But it isn't something like
1 user - average response time 10ms
2 users - 20 ms
3 users - 30 ms
But
1 user - 10 ms
2 users - 10 ms
3 users - 10 ms
10 users - 11 ms
The whole idea of the performance testing is to determine the upper limit of server load and identify bottlenecks and issues which happen under the load so you could state something like: using this hardware and this configuration the application is capable of serving 500 concurrent users without serious delays. In case of 1000 users response time will be more than 15 seconds.
In regards to threads, JMeter thread starts, executes samples one by one for defined amount of loops and exits. It is applicable for each thread which are independent. Basic throughput control can be done via ramp-up and loops count (see Thread Group documentation on details)
More advanced load scenario definition can be done using following Test Elements:
Ultimate Thread Group - which provides easy visual way of defining ramp-up, ramp-down and time to hold the load
Constant Throughput Timer - to set desired load rate in requests per minute
Synchronizing Timer - to pause all the test threads and release them at the same moment to produce a "spike"
I have made some PHP scripts and I want to test the response time for simultaneous users in JMeter. This scripts are run in a very short time (50 miliseconds).
What I would like to do is to simulate a load test from 1 to 50 of users where each user (thread) repeats the request for an unlimited period. So first we will have 1 user, after 2 simultaneous users, after 3 ... and so on.
I am trying to do it but with I have is response times where it is evident that there is no simultaneous request.
With HP loaddrunner we can define number of iterations for each thread, is this possible in JMeter?
You can possibly use these 2 thread group implementations
Stepping Thread Group
Ultimate Thread Group
from Jmeter Plugins package, that let you set load-increase for you scenario as you want.
As well you can also look onto Synchronizing Timer if you want "better" concurrency - but this is rather stress-testcase than load one.
