Change Throughput in Runtime

[dyegowermelinger]

Description

Sometimes the test is close to finishing, but we didn't reach the target we were aiming. Creating a feature that allows changing the parameters below in runtime will help us reduce the necessity of starting a new test just after the previous one.

• Number of Threads
• Duration
• Load Profile (RPS - Throughput Shaping Timer)

Solution

1. Create a button to change the runtime configuration
2. List the Thread groups from the tests or allow the user set the name
3. Allow to change the parameter:

• Number of Threads
• Duration
• Load Profile (RPS - Throughput Shaping Timer)

4. To apply the changes, we can use the component Beanshell, by creating a bash script which will be deployed on the Jmeter Image used. E.g: Changing Runtime Config

Aditional Information

• The test can have more than one user journey, analyze how to apply it just to one or more user journeys.
