View Results Tree

[Mahesh Kumar Somaraju]

Hello Everyone,

I am required to execute a load test with 25,000 Vusers using Jmeter tool and in my test plan I am planning to include "View Results Tree" to view the HTTP requests and their response for analysis.

Please let me know if this will impact the performance of tool and the load test in any case.

Kindly share your experiences with me.

Thanks,

Mahesh

This will affect JMeter performance dramatically.

But you can workaround this by recording JTL file without View Results Tree (use Simple Data Writer), and then load that file onto View Results Tree for post-test analysis.

Hi Andrey,

Thank you for the reply. I have tried writing the load test results into JTL file using Simple Data writer listener and opened the JTL file in a separate session in View Results Tree listener. However I am not able to view the Request and Response data contents in View Results tree for HTTP requests and I can only see Sample results part.

Can you please suggest why I am not able to see the Request and Response data in View Results tree?

Thanks,

Mahesh

To record these fields you have to configure Simple Data Writer, pressing "Configure" button.

Hi Andrey,

Thank you. I am able to save the response of HTTP requests. I have executed a load test for 300 Vusers for 20 minutes but the JTL file saved is very huge about 2GB. I am unable to open and view this file in Jmeter tool as its huge.

Can you please suggest how to analyse this huge JTL file? Any other tools available to interprete the JTL file?

Thanks,

Mahesh

Well, the approach is bad. In load testing you shouldn't analyse response data, use Assertions to control that data is ok. Save and analyse only performance metrics, such as response times and resource utilization. Use Loadosophia.org and "jmeter plugins" projects to help with analysis.
