Jmeter to determine the time taken to send 1000 requests

Question

I am using Jmeter normal Thread Group to simulate 1 user to loop and send a total of 1000 requests. Is the total time taken to send 1000 requests the total runtime?

Eg. 1 user, 1000 requests (looped to do so), on top right after it finishes I see a timing of 1 min 40 seconds. 1 user spends 100 seconds to send 1000 requests? So average of 1 requests per 0.1 second see

Answer 1

Yes it's a viable approach. However if you want the total time to execute 1000 requests in the loop to appear in the .jtl results file and/or HTML Reporting Dashboard you could amend your test plan a little bit like:

• Thread Group with 1 user and 1 loop and 0 ramp-up
  • Transaction Controller
    • Loop Controller with 1000 loops
      • Your Sampler

This way the Transaction Controller will generate a synthetic Sample Result and its elapsed time will be the sum of all its children (1000 Sampler executions)
