What's the difference between Number of Threads and the Constant Throughput Timer? Before I heard of the Constant Throughput Timer, I thought that if I wanted to simulate 21 requests per minute , the following configuration was enough :
but now that I found this post, I'm not so sure.
This is my new configuration now that I make use of the Constant Throughput Timer :
- Does the Constant Throughput Timer override the parameters specify in Thread Group (Number of threads,Ramp-up period, etc) ?
- Why even making use of the Constant Throughput Timer I sometimes get a number of requests higher than the value specify in the Target Throughput (21 in the above image)
- If a indicate a value of 21 in the Target Throughput, isn't this constant supposed to guarantee a maximum value of 21 requests? If so why do I sometimes get more requests than indicated.
All your comments and ideas will be appreciated.
P.S. I'm also using a Runtime controller.
