I have 2 questions. #1 Can we use jmeter for testing javascript pixels? basically, if a javasript pixel is calling anotehr one and that is calling anotehr etc, Can jmeter be used to get the total result? #2 How much load can I simulate maximum? I am assuming this depends on my machine(or not?). When I was using http_load, I had to use different servers to get the enough load for my load testing. If this is the case, is there a way in jmeter to specify that "I want to run this test at this particular time" ? Hello Chris,

I am having a problem where I need jMeter to go through a proxy and connect to the internet to run the test plan. Parts of the test plan need to access yui and those parts are failing as I cannot configure jMeter to go through a proxy. I have tried running the command line options (-H proxyhost -P proxyport -u username -a password) but no luck. Also, I would like to know what paramaters can i add to jmeter.bat so that jMeter GUi is configured to go through a proxy as well. It will be great if you could help me out here. Thanks, Manav Chris,

It could be my ignorance, but I tried some on one of my production sites and while the test was running, the site itself was unresponsive, or gave a ton of mysql errors does this ACTUALLY put load on the server? for example if I set the number of threads to 100 and looped 10 times, will this actually load the server with 100 users?

I like to start off slow with 5 concurrent users or so and ramp it up gradually, if I am working on a production system, to get to the target load we need to simulate. Chris Matthew,

I have worked with JMeter and Grinder, but did not find this type of feature in either. So have rolled my own in the past.

We settled on a tool from a German company called Paessler, the tool is called "Web Server Stress Tool" and it does all we ever need and we can have a script ready very quickly and the reports are great too.

I've used JMeter several times to whip up a quick stress tool, what a nice tool to have in the old arsenal. Would you be interested in a follow up post explaining the proxy server portion of JMeter so that it can record your clicks?(I love this feature!) If so, just let me know, I'd be happy to help.
