I don't know why is that..can you please explain to me why it happens like that. because when am using 5 users and once it completed timer is stopped. please help me. please check the attachment.


Solution

  • There is no any attachment however I can try to guess the possible reason.

    When you start JMeter the following beautiful warning is displayed:

    ================================================================================
    Don't use GUI mode for load testing !, only for Test creation and Test debugging.
    For load testing, use CLI Mode (was NON GUI):
       jmeter -n -t [jmx file] -l [results file] -e -o [Path to web report folder]
    & increase Java Heap to meet your test requirements:
       Modify current env variable HEAP="-Xms1g -Xmx1g -XX:MaxMetaspaceSize=256m" in the jmeter batch file
    Check : https://jmeter.apache.org/usermanual/best-practices.html
    ================================================================================
    

    So my expectation is that 100 users is way too much than JMeter GUI can handle so consider running your JMeter test in command-line non-GUI mode and it should end normally/gracefully. If it doesn't - make sure to follow JMeter Best Practices
