[@RaghavPal]

Hi Abhishek, I believe you looked at samples, Sample count can be anything depends on the no of times request is executed

Hello @Raghav Pal: Nice tutorial!! I have question that when we set the condition as "This group will start with _100_ threads;" under Stepping Thread Group, why the Sample # total count is more than 100 in the listener "View Results in table" ?

[@RaghavPal]

Hi Pramod, happy to see you learning from this channel. The total users (thread) is 100 only. You must be looking at the aggregate report

[@kingpromo90]

Please take a look on below images(URLs) and tell me the reason why sample count is going so high. I am seeing following listeners in my test : a) View Results in table b) View Results tree c) Aggregate Report You can refer following snapshots tro see the test plan configuration and listeners: #1: Test Plan i64.tinypic.com/51wumf.png #2: Stepping Thread Group tinypic.com/r/2uepm50/9 #3: HTTP Request tinypic.com/r/1z4h4s1/9 #4: View results in tree: tinypic.com/r/vfl3ib/9 #5: Aggregate Report tinypic.com/r/j97u43/9

[@preethichokkam2195]

Hello sir When we have thousands of api requests to use in performance testing, is there a wrapper kind to trigger all at once from any file instead of creating samplers for all the thousand Please let me know your feedback sir

[@RaghavPal]

Hi Preethi Yes, in JMeter you can use the "CSV Data Set Config" element to read data from a CSV file and use it in your test plan. You can create a CSV file with all your API requests and use it in the CSV Data Set Config to read the data and execute the requests. Here's how you can do it: Create a CSV file with all the API requests in the following format api_request_1 api_request_2 api_request_3 ... api_request_1000 Add a "CSV Data Set Config" element to your test plan. Set the "Filename" field in the "CSV Data Set Config" to the path of your CSV file. Set the "Variable Names" field to a variable name that you want to use in your requests. For example, if you set it to "api_request", then you can use this variable in your HTTP Sampler as ${api_request}. Add an HTTP Sampler to your test plan and set the URL to ${api_request}. This will use the value from the CSV file as the URL for the HTTP request. Run your test plan and JMeter will execute all the API requests specified in the CSV file. This way, you can execute all the API requests without creating individual samplers for each request.

[@vankayalapatisrihari1718]

Hi Raghav, I have one Question. I.e How to calculate the how many users can run in VM (Ex: -- I Have 16 RAM Machine)

[@RaghavPal]

Hi Vankayalapati Calculating the number of users that can run in a VM (Virtual Machine) depends on various factors such as the allocated resources, the complexity of the test scenario, the duration of the test, and the system's performance limitations. Here's a general approach to estimate the number of users that can run in a VM: 1. Determine the available resources: - Check the allocated RAM (in your case, 16 GB) and note down the CPU specifications of the VM. 2. Set performance goals: - Determine the desired performance metrics such as response time, throughput, or error rate that you want to achieve during the load test. 3. Perform a baseline test: - Execute a test with a small number of users (e.g., 10) and measure the performance metrics. This will establish a baseline for the VM's performance. 4. Monitor VM resource usage: - During the baseline test, monitor the VM's resource utilization (CPU, memory, network, etc.) using tools like JMeter's built-in monitors, operating system utilities, or dedicated monitoring tools. 5. Identify resource bottlenecks: - Analyze the resource usage data to identify any bottlenecks or limitations in terms of CPU, memory, or other resources. 6. Determine resource allocation per user: - Estimate the average resource consumption per user based on the baseline test results. For example, if your test with 10 users consumed 4 GB of RAM, you can assume each user requires 400 MB of RAM. 7. Calculate the maximum number of users: - Divide the available RAM by the estimated resource allocation per user. For example, if you have 16 GB of RAM and each user requires 400 MB, the maximum number of users would be 40 (16,000 MB / 400 MB). 8. Account for other resource-intensive applications: - Consider any other applications or processes running on the VM that might consume system resources and adjust the number of users accordingly. 9. Perform iterative load testing: - Gradually increase the number of users in subsequent load tests, monitoring resource usage and performance metrics at each iteration. This will help you find the optimal number of users that the VM can handle without causing resource saturation or performance degradation. It's important to note that the actual number of users the VM can handle may vary depending on the specific load test scenario, application under test, and the efficiency of the test script. Therefore, it's recommended to conduct thorough testing and monitoring to fine-tune the number of users for optimal performance.

[@RaghavPal]

Hi Mehmet, I hope you are looking at real time data. I believe Google Analytics show data for unique users. When you are hitting from jmeter, its from a single IP, if you can hit from multiple systems or IP, you can check if analytics show it. 2nd Question : Yes Stepping thread group is not used and we need to use Concurrency thread group now. Its mentioned in the description section of the video. Video for Concurrency thread group - kzbin.info/www/bejne/lYrWi6Fni9yNj7s

Thanks!

[@RaghavPal]

in case the issue is from server side, due to heavy load, you can try with less threads. It can also happen when request gets timed out due to slow response. You can check again and try.

[@RaghavPal]

[@sameersingh4064]

Hi Raghav, Thanks for sharing the knowledge. Very detailed and thoughtful videos. I have a question regarding the rampup and ramp down. In the example above, what happens during the "hold" period? What if the thread has already performed the actions before the hold time is reached? Will it be still active? eg- If the initial threads complete their action in 1 sec, what happens during the 'hold' time? will it still be active and has to be shutdown manually?

[@RaghavPal]

Hi Sameer, we generally select the ramp up down and hold period based on the scenario. The scenario you mentioned, although i have not tried this, but logically if you are using stepping thread group where we set max threads, ideally the tool should take care of generating threads as per the needs of load testing. Now in a scenario where For example : If the scenario we are testing is just 10 seconds long and we setup load test with stepping thread group for a minute, we might not be able to achieve the desired load. So it has to be thought through while setting up load with stepping thread group.

Awesome explanation skill, @raghav can you elaborate what is different or behave of 1 user/thread and 2 iterations vs 2 users/thread and 1 iteration.

[@RaghavPal]

Hi Nilesh, 1 thread and 2 iteration means a single user will run the test and the test will be repeated 2 times. 2 threads and 1 iteration. The test will run once with 2 users running simultaneously

[@nileshthummar20]

​@@RaghavPal yes, Raghav I know this, but what's the exact purpose of this thing. Any real-time examples. This means why it is required or say in which condition we implement this. Or say any difference in between both types of requests and responses. also, the total number of requests hit to the server is the same OK then what's the difference. My question is what task we achieve by using these things

[@RaghavPal]

All this is based on the performance test requirements. Support you expect a user load of 100 users at a time on your application so you have to test how will be the performance when 100 users use the application at the same time, So you can set a thread of 100 and put some ramp up time. You can also add some think time to mimic real world scenario.

Hi Harish, is the server on your local system, If you do performance testing on local it will not be a good environment with proper configuration required for a performance test. Pls check with your network team if they can host the application on a env with configuration similar to production.

Yes Vinod, to complete the pacing concepts you should also watch the next video- Jmeter Beginner Tutorial 16 - TIMERS (How to add Think Time)

Hi Bro, Thank you for sharing the videos. I need some help from you get more knowledge. How to work with SSL WEBSITE. Can you please share the video.

[@RaghavPal]

Hi Srikanth, in general the process for ssl website should be the same unless there is some specific security need (certification addition) for the website. If you are able to access your web application through JMeter, you can proceed in the same way as shown in videos. stackoverflow.com/questions/11106796/setting-up-jmeter-to-do-https www.blazemeter.com/blog/how-set-your-jmeter-load-test-use-client-side-certificates

This is not pacing. All you have done is setup the user thread profile: ramp up - duration - ramp down. It's not the same as pacing in LoadRunner which you compared it to. You do the pacing using the Timers for each thread group.

I will add a different session on this

this is a great video an explanation, for new users for ramp up use - "Concurrency-Thread-Group" as stepping thread group is not more supported. jmeter-plugins.org/wiki/ConcurrencyThreadGroup/#Concurrency-Thread-Group. thanks for putting up those classes.
