JSR223 Timer in jmeter - jmeter

Question

How to create thread delay in seconds based on the calculation(duration/throughput) using JSR223 Timer. what should I write inside the script section ?We are having the Duration and throughput as Jmeter parameters in our Test Plan

Answer 1

The easiest way is to use Precise Throughput Timer or Throughput Shaping Timer - both can be configured with combination of the desired throughput and test duration. The timers are smart enough in order to pause JMeter threads to reach the needed throughput.
If for some reason the above timers are not suitable you can consider implementing so called Pacing - a dynamic delay between Thread Group iterations.
The example code would be something like:
//Sets the pacing length based on the last requests response time. 4500 is the time in ms
Long pacing = 4500 - prev.getTime();
//If the response time is less than 4500 ms, set the delay value to myDelay
if ( pacing > 0 )
{
//iPacing is equal to the int value of pacing if pacing is not equal to null, otherwise iPacing is null
Integer iPacing = pacing != null ? pacing.intValue() : null;
log.info(String.valueOf(iPacing));
vars.put("myDelay", String.valueOf(iPacing));
return iPacing;
}
//The response time is greater than or equal to 4500 ms, set myDelay to 0
else
{
vars.put("myDelay", "0");
return 0;
}
