JMeter Throughput Controlling

Performance testing is a type of non functional testing intended to determine the responsiveness, throughput, reliability, and/or scalability of a system under a given workload. Throughput is the number of units of work that can be handled per unit of time; for instance, number of requests per second (RPS) , calls per day, hits per second, reports per year, etc.  In this video controlling the throughput is demonstrated. Throughput is a business concern. Throughput can beRead More →

JMeter has become the industry standard for load testing. If you don’t know, JMeter is an Apache project used as a load testing tool for analyzing and measuring the performance of various services, with a focus on web applications. This post will talk about some very different companies and their efforts to scale their JMeter tests.
