I'm still new to Jmeter and I'm having trouble running more than one thread in my test plan.
I'm trying to run the tests using the GUI (just to make check that they pass), but when I run the test plan, it only seems to run the first thread in the plan. Is there something I've done wrong in my test plan?
Add "View result tree" listener in your test plan level instead of adding it individually for each thread group. This will solve your issue.
Hope this helps..

I am now using Jmeter to run the stress test on APIs. When I stopped the test manually by pressing the stop button, Jmeter would return "socket closed exception error".
Therefore, I would like to ask is there any way so that this error will not occur in my reports?
Thanks very much.
Don't use GUI for running the test, it's only for tests development and debugging, you're supposed to run your JMeter test using command-line non-GUI mode.
No matter of the way of execution forcefully stopping the test will result in non-graceful connections termination, you should rather set fixed number of iterations and/or duration in the Thread Group and wait for the test completion
If you really need to manually stop the test you can use shutdown.cmd script (lives in "bin" folder of your JMeter installation
And finally you can remove "unwanted" results i.e. in last X seconds of the test using Filter Results Tool
I have a very simple test plan in JMeter. There is just one thread group with one get request. ( I created this to isolate an issue which I faced in another real world test plan)
I was trying to increase the load and analyse the result.
While reaching a point, say 5000 users, JMeter does not stop.
I was unable to manually stop or shutdown. While trying to do so, the following message is displayed. But there is no response after that even though I waited.
It says you can see the active number of threads in the upper right hand side, but I can see that there are no active threads.
If I go to task manager to end the task, the same pop up message is displayed in JMeter and hence I am not able to end the task.
Please can someone advise on why I am getting this message when I could not see active threads in JMeter UI.
You're violating one of the most important JMeter best practices: GUI mode is only for tests development and/or debugging
If you want to execute your load test with 5000 virtual users you should be running JMeter in command-line non-GUI mode like:
jmeter -n -t /path/to/your/test.jmx -l /path/to/result.jtl
Once your test finishes you can open the result.jtl file with the Listener of your choice or generate HTML Reporting Dashboard from it
I have a test plan configured as so -
When I execute the test plan, all 3 simple controllers are executed at the same time, even though I have 1 thread set and 1 loop...
I want it to execute samples in "XML Import" then "UI - Quick Entry" then "UI - Reprint" rather than them all being executed at the same time..
I'm sure its obvious and I'm missing something. I am confused as to why this is happening.
Thanks
You can have only one Firefox Driver Config element per Thread Group, each thread (virtual user) will kick off a separate browser instance.
JMeter executes samplers upside down (unless you have Logic Controllers specifying different behaviour). See Using Selenium with JMeter's WebDriver Sampler for more details on Selenium and JMeter integration.
I had to move the two webdrivers into their own threads, this is now working as I expected it to.
i am having trouble with remote testing in jmeter.
my server is able to ask the client to start the test plan.
However, only the first active thread group is running, the rest of the active thread group did not run at all.
is there anything that i might have missed??
I did not tick "Run thread group consecutively"
thanks for the help, but i solved it myself. my CSV Dataset is a invalid location, making the rest of the thread group to not run at all.
I am new to Jmeter and trying to understand what all can be achieved using Jmeter. I want to perform endurance or soak testing of a application using Jmeter, i.e. I want to run a particular script for a particluar number of users for a period of 3 hours.
What all options are available to me and what is the best availablelistener to monitor the result?
Please help. Kindly add if I am missing anything that I should know before starting with soak testing?
For setting up the numbers of users and runtime of the test you use a Thread Group. Setting the runtime is done by checking the Scheduler check-box and specifying Duration.
Of the original listeners in JMeter I have found myself most oftenly just using the plain Summary Report. But JMeter Plugins gives additional listeners which may be better, it depends on what you want to measure. The JMeter Plugins also gives additional thread groups, where you can specify e.g. an increasing load over time.
Use a Thread Group to set up your number of users and the duration of your test (using the scheduler of the Thread Group).
Then add all the samplers and logic controllers you need to perform your testing.
Next, add a Summary Report listener to get an overview of your results (min/max/average and such), and add a View Result Tree listener to get an overview of EACH step your testplan is taking. This Tree listener is great to actually see what jmeter is doing, and to debug your tesplan.
BTW: if you add a HTTP Request Defaults object, you can set your URL and options in there, and don't need to add it to each and every sampler again. Especially works like a charm if you start using regexp extractors and such.
