How is throughput calculated when using JMeter slaves?


Given I have a JMeter test script that would have a constant throughput of 200 transactions (running threads) per minute, and I have two slaves controlled by the JMeter master that would execute that script, would the resulting throughput be doubled or would JMeter share the load between the slaves, resulting in still 200TPM?

Cheers, Kai


Solution

  • I found the answer on http://jmeter.apache.org/usermanual/remote-test.html:

    Note: The same test plan is run by all the servers. JMeter does not distribute the load between servers, each runs the full test plan. So if you set 1000 Threads and have 6 JMeter server, you end up injecting 6000 Threads.
