[@nidhishetty9732]

Hi Raghav, Why does it happen that each time i run the same HTTP Request,everytime the Response Time and Latency keeps on changing? How to report it to the developer as the time(in ms) is constantly changing .EX:once it shows 1136 ms and again if i run same script after refresh it shows 2231ms. Which value is correct in this case. NOTE:I am using only one user in sampler request and hitting on same url again and again.

[@RaghavPal]

Hi Nidhi, there may be multiple factors causing this variation like 1. State of server 2. Users on server 3. Network connection 4. Environment parameters. Therefore, for a performance test its recommended 1. Have a separate env 2. Env has a stable network 3. Nobody else uses the network during performance testing In your case you can do multiple runs and take the avg.

[@vatsalyamishra7111]

Raghav, is there any way to modify the attributes of summary report listener in Jmeter?

[@RaghavPal]

Hi Vatsalya, When you goto Summary Report listener on JMeter, you will find a configure button, where you can do some modifications. In general you can configure listeners in jmeter.properties or user.properties file in bin folder - jmeter.apache.org/usermanual/listeners.html

[@Chatrapati_Yesubai_Maharani]

What is ramp-up period ?

[@RaghavPal]

Hi Shradha, it is the period taken for the full user load on the application. for e.g. if we need to test with a user load of 100 users and give a ramp up period of 10 seconds. Then 10 users will be added every 1 sec and in 10 seconds it will be full 100 user load.

[@Chatrapati_Yesubai_Maharani]

[@RavindraPC]

Hello Raghav, Can you please add some videos related to "Load & perf test on API's hosted on AWS EC2" (from Windows os). Your videos are so simple and easy to understand the tool as beginner.

[@RaghavPal]

Hi Ravindra, sure i will try to create on these topics

[@nandhakumarragunathan2438]

Good explaining! and which listener can I use for heavy loading performance test.

[@RaghavPal]

For any performance test, any listener with graphical view is not suggested. You can use any tabular listener. Better you run from commandline and create jtl file. You can also use html dashboard report as shown here - kzbin.info/www/bejne/l3m5Znyfr7xqq5Y

[@ravivyas2005]

Can we create parallel Excel file for different listener?? For e.g. 1 Excel for aggregate and 1 Excel for summary result will it work.??

[@RaghavPal]

Ravi In JMeter, each listener is independent and can write to its own output file. So, you can certainly have one listener (e.g., Aggregate Report) write to one Excel file and another listener (e.g., Summary Report) write to a different Excel file Here's how you can do it: 1. Add the listener to your test plan (for example, Aggregate Report or Summary Report). 2. In the 'Write results to file/Read from file' field of the listener, provide the path to the Excel file where you want the results to be written. 3. Repeat the process for each listener, making sure to provide a different output file for each one. This way, each listener will write its results to a separate Excel file. Please note that the files should be in CSV format as JMeter does not natively support writing directly to Excel format.. However, if you want to run multiple listeners in parallel, you might need to consider the performance implications. Each listener consumes some amount of resources, and having many listeners, especially ones that write to file, can consume significant amounts of memory and CPU. It's generally recommended to run your test in non-GUI mode and with as few listeners as possible, and then analyze the results after the test has completed .

[@ravivyas2005]

Thanks a lot Raghav for details explanation.yes I can understand I will use non gui mode and very minimal listener. We can also use different data set config for each sampler. Correct.

[@nileshthummar20]

[@RaghavPal]

Sure Pritam will do.

[@automationra]

Hi Sir, I would like to ask regarding that number of users. Is that has a limited no. of users that can be tested?

[@RaghavPal]

Hi, this depends on your system configuration, JMeter can create multiple threads, but if you are running JMeter on a system with low configuration, it may not work

[@ItsmeChaitu777]

Hi sir.. As you said that latency time is the start time of response time and connect time is time taken by the request to connect to the server. But why there is lot of millisec difference in between latency and connect time... can you pls explain..

[@RaghavPal]

Hi Buddi, Connect Time: time taken to establish TCP connection (at TCP layer in TCP/IP model) b/w client and server using TCP Handshake. If TCP Handshake is successful, then the client can send further requests (HTTP request - HTTP layer). If not, the client can't talk to the server. This can happen if the server is not live or busy responding other requests. Latency Time: JMeter measures the latency from just before sending the request to just after the first response has been received. (Connect time is included while calculating Latency Time) All this depends on your application and server stackoverflow.com/questions/41790285/what-the-difference-latency-time-vs-connect-time-in-jmeter

[@janardhanrajagopal6064]

hi raghav!!! is it possible to save response data in a folder with timestamp i.e response data saved in csv or xml which in turn saved in folder with timestamp if so could you please let me know the process. sorry to bother you

[@aymansmman1520]

يسلمن خال راجاف

[@sandipdevnath]

Your definition of latency here is bit a question. How can JMeter will know, when the server received the request ? you only know when you start getting the response. Latency here should be (timestamp when first byte of HTTP payload came to JMeter app) - (timestamp, when app sent the request).

[@RaghavPal]

Hi Sandip, yes latency is time to first byte

[@hassanlone7455]

Hi Raghav: At 4.33 in your video you said Bytes is the size of the request, isn't it the size of the response we got against request? Please clarify thanks

[@RaghavPal]

I believe yes

[@hassanlone7455]

May be in older version of jmeter. It is ... But in latest version sent Bytes is a seperate column ... So now i believe Bytes column now shows the reponse size and sent Bytes column is the size of request in Bytes

[@jenimite1]

Hi Raghav, for the first user @6:54, the Latency is 1843ms and the Connect time is 1073ms; which means, that 1842ms was required for the first byte was received. In that case should the connect time be 1842ms rather than 1073ms? Could you please explain and correct if my understanding is wrong?

[@RaghavPal]

Hi Sriram, Connect Time: time taken to establish TCP connection (at TCP layer in TCP/IP model) b/w client and server using TCP Handshake. If TCP Handshake is successful, then the client can send further requests (HTTP request - HTTP layer). If not, the client can't talk to the server.

Thanks, Raghav. Understood!

[@NehaGupta-ur8ji]

Hi Raghav, i just wanted to know how using these reports, i can check which page is taking more time for loading. Or we can say, which all pages/urls need to be modularize for faster loading.

[@RaghavPal]

Hi Neha, this will be based on your baseline stats. Baseline is the stats like response time, avg time etc agains which you compare all your subsequent results. Now this can be given to you by your team OR you can generate a baseline for every user load say 10 users, 100, 1000 etc and then compare each run of that configuration agains that baseline. Some other good practices 1. Always do performance testing on a separate env. Create a sep env which will not be used for other activities 2. Run your tests with the same infrastructure, network stats etc. To get consistent results and can be compared with the baseline 3. Always have a baseline to compare your test against. 4. JMeter checks the server performance and does not care for browser render time. So if you see your jmeter results are good but your application is still slow. Check for client-side performance testing tools 5. Focus on the areas that needs performance testing based on user scenario 6. Always document your results

[@rajeswarikv9396]

Hi Raghav... What's the difference between simple data writer and writing results to a file in report generator

[@RaghavPal]

Hi Rajeswari, this are all diff formats of results and reporting. In Simple Data Writer, the contents of the file and its format are determined in the jmeter.properties file, which is located in JMeter’s ‘bin’ folder.

[@fidRashid]

Hi Raghav, with these listeners report how we will explain to a client how much load is impacted on every page of the site. For ex:if we target a google site with 100 users and use the listeners as "View Results Tree" and "Summary Report" we got some results by running this scenario but how will tell to a client how much load it is effecting on the page.

[@RaghavPal]

Hi Hari, for client, you might want to create a tabular data like in excel or csv with clear metrics on the load used and output in terms or response, avg etc. You should keep two data, one with limited and most relevant numbers to show to client, and another with detailed metrics that you can show if asked for. You can also keep all this in a google sheet

[@RaghavPal]

Alok, although the query is not very clear, i believe you are referring to writing listener data in csv files as shown in the video. This is used when you want the data to be written to a file rather than shown on the ui only. Its most useful when you are running in non-gui mode. You can provide location of any csv file here and run it. You can also give a new file name and it should create the file at runtime.

[@knownothing1277]

I found on your video that you browsing some file with extension .csv and put it into the filename filed, how did you get this? I mean your csv file is prepared before run the application. I also found that that file is in excel format. My query is that how I can create that excel file with the extension of .csv. If you please explain step-by-step to create that file, it will be a great helpful. Thanks.

Hi Raghav, Can you please tell me the exact listener to use on Both GUI and NON GUI Mode. Thanks

[@RaghavPal]

Hi Fouziya, so first thing is GUI mode should only be used for test creation, debugging and troubleshooting. When you run your actual test always run from commandline. You can use any simple listener (not graphical) like aggregate report, simple data writer. Even if you do not have any listener and give location of a csv file in your -l flag on cmd line. It will store the results. You can also create HTML dashboard reports from command line

[@pankajsingh7218]

simple data writer listener is not saving the data in the file,,,,the file is showing an error any solution???/

[@RaghavPal]

Can you check the logs and see the error. At the top right corder there is a yellow button, It will display logs at the bottom.

[@RaghavPal]

Hi Vishnu, did not get you. What do you mean by inside page load time. Are you talking about client performance here.

[@pawansharma2162]

can i see the actual load in the web site .....means send the load one device and open the web site in another device after if i send the load in my thread group ....

[@RaghavPal]

Hi Pawan, you can check the server metrics to see the load on website application Or use Perfmon - kzbin.info/www/bejne/rniWnompjd92edE

@@RaghavPal i want to see the effect on the website means send the load from the device and the website becomes slow can i do that??? I need to test a quiz system and only have 5 real users but i need to test this quiz with 5000 users in the same time ....

[@RaghavPal]

Hi Pawan, you can setup the test on JMeter to send the request to the server. Now the client (like device) can be anything. JMeter will actually does not worry about the client but the network communications

Hi Raghav . For me I wanna to understand the transaction per second for a soap webservice for 25 concurrent users . When I am looking into throughput . it some times comes in minutes .but I wanna to see it in second s

Hi Ansu, throughput is requests per unit time. and it normally is displayed in seconds. Hope you have not changed any value in jmeter.properties file.

Hi Raghav, I am using goobuntu OS. and using Libera office. I am not able to upload my xls/csv files in listeners... :(

[@RaghavPal]

Sagar not sure why you are facing this. Will need more inputs to troubleshoot.

[@ishantsingh2235]

Whenever I tried to store the result by providing file name in listeners I got an error "Error loading results file - see log file". Please help..

[@RaghavPal]

Did you see the log file? What did it say.

[@srinivasrao4387]

You create a blank Results.csv file and in the Graph Results give that REsults.csv file and run it. Later on you can use it for Simple data writer. That will solve your issue

[@zarintasnim708]

Why don't you explain Xpath asserton ?

[@adisatapathy]

hi Raghav what's the difference between view result in table from assertion and listener it's approximately same ,i didn't get that can you explain please?

[@RaghavPal]

Hi Aditya, view results in table is a listener and not an assertion component. Let me know what is the confusion here

[@adisatapathy]

yes i got it it's a listener but the results showing in both are quite same so i got confusion..Thank a lot u give quick reply just can you clarify my doubt

[@RaghavPal]

I still did not get you exactly Aditya, there is no Assertion element like View Results in Table. Its only a listener.

[@adisatapathy]

Thanks raghav for your time i got the difference...Thanks a lot your videos are pretty clear and easily understandable.

at the top right corner of JMeter window there you will find a yellow alert icon, you can press that and this should display the logs at the bottom section. Else the log files are also generated in JMeter bin folder.

Sir, What does throughput mean?

[@RaghavPal]

Narmadha, throughput in simple words is the rate of processing of your application. In Performance testing throughput will mean no of requests processed per unit time. Or no or transactions per second the applications can handle.
