Jmeter throughput vs. threads graph issues

Question

I would like to run a test for 10 threads, by sending 100 requests from a CSV file to a server. I would like for each thread to fire 100 requests sequentially while allowing parallel requests. I have my main sampler and sub samplers for its subcomponents and another sampler to which i want to compare my results. This configuration results in 7 samplers in general. The problem is that when i try to plot the throughput vs. threads graph in jmeter for 1 user results shows more than 100 transactions/sec values on the y axis. Same thing happens in the "show results in table" listener (i.e., for 1 user it shows 700 samples) How can i graph the graphs/listeners for only the main samplers (mine and the other) to get realistic numbers.

am I doing the right thing? Thanks

Answer 1

Put all the samples/sub-samples into a transaction controller for each response you want to measure.

Then only plot the graph for the transaction result, rather than for each sample/sub-sample.

Answer 2

Maybe this could help You to solve:

Apache JMeter - User's Manual: Elements of a Test Plan http://goo.gl/gIZwX

There i've read something like ThreadGroup

"Each thread will execute the test plan in its entirety and completely independently of other .... The Graph Results listener plots the response times on a graph."

Good luck.
