Throughput can be changed (increased\/decreased) by configuring a number of virtual users and introducing pauses with timers.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to simulate specific throughput values you will need to use special timers called <a href=\"https:\/\/jmeter.apache.org\/usermanual\/component_reference.html#Constant_Throughput_Timer\">Constant Throughput Timer<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/jmeter-plugins.org\/wiki\/ThroughputShapingTimer\/\">Throughput Shaping Timer<\/a>. Constant Throughput Timer is available out of the box with JMeter. Throughput Shaping Timer is a plugin and you need to install the plugin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These timers will pause the threads and try to achieve the\u00a0 specified throughput value. Throughput value in the Constant Throughput Timer can be changed to different values by using a variable or property.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Throughput shaping timer can be used to configure different throughput values at different times. Throughput Shaping Timer with Concurrency Thread Group and the Feedback Function can be used to create additional thread required to maintain the desired throughput values.
