How can we measure the throughput of JMeter?
The throughput of JMeter refers to the number of requests processed by the system within a specific time frame. Throughput can be used to assess the performance and capacity of the system.
To view throughput in JMeter, you can follow these steps:
- Start JMeter and open the test plan.
- Include a listener, such as a Summary Report or Aggregate Report.
- Execute the test plan.
- Check the throughput in the listener.
Through the following indicators, throughput can be evaluated:
- Throughput refers to the number of requests processed within a certain time period, often measured in requests per second (RPS). You can view the value in the “Throughput” column using a listener.
- Through the listener, you can view the changing trends of throughput over time by clicking on the “Graph” button. The throughput chart helps you understand the system’s performance at different pressures.
The higher the throughput value, the better the system’s processing capability. However, it is important to note that throughput is also limited by system resources such as server processing power and bandwidth. Therefore, in order to accurately evaluate a system’s throughput, it is necessary to maintain a stable testing environment and consider system resource limitations.
Additionally, you can adjust various parameters in JMeter such as the number of threads and request intervals to test the throughput under different loads, in order to evaluate the performance and stability of the system.
