How to use Throughput Controller in JMeter | Advanced JMeter Tutorial | Advance Performance Testing

In this video, you will learn what is throughput controller and how to use it in JMeter.

The Following Example Demonstrates the Throughput Controller:
- Open the JMeter and then add thread Group into your Test Plan and enter the number of Users as 10.
- Add Three HTTP Request Samplers Inside the Thread Group as shown below. First I am going to add HTTP Request and enter the Homepage Address of the New Tours demo site as shown below.
- Add one more HTTP Request and enter the Welcome page address in the Server name as below.
- Add one more HTTP Request and enter the Register page address.
- Add Aggregate Report to the Thread Group as below.
- Now save and run the TestPlan, after the execution, all the requests have been hit by the 10 virtual users.
- But, my requirement here is that I want to distribute virtual users to each request.
- So I want 2 users to hit Home Page,3 Users to hit the Welcome page and 5 users to hit the Register page.
- This can be done by using the Throughput Controller.
- Add three Throughput controller to the Thread Group and then assign each request to a different throughput controller.
- Next, click on the Throughput controller and then select the Percentage Execution and then enter the percentage of the throughput as 20%, 30%, and 50% in each throughput.
- After entering the throughput percentage in each in throughputs, save and execute the Test Plan.
- The Throughput will help us to distribute the virtual users based on a percentage if a Test Plan is having multiple numbers of Thread Groups.

If i pass csv data {parameterization} in the request, throughput controller not working. hardcoded working fine. how can i fix the issue sir?

Sir I have one doubt. I need to achieve this scenario. 40 percent users should perform login and perform add to cart and 60 percent users should visit PLP and CMS PAGES..Could you please tell me how to do?

Hello Sir, thank you for sharing the informative video. I need your help and support to start 1 project, requirements are given below.
:
1. Total number of business scenarios 17
2. Total number of users (threads) 60K (load)
3. Wants to distribute the load in each scenarios by percentage.
4. All the scenarios should be executed in parallel for the period of 1 hour in steady state.
5. Ramp up users until target load is reached and run full load for 60 minutes duration.
6. Test should be executed 1 cycle.
7. Application should be able to handle 60K virtual user with 381018 transaction per hour


1. Which Thread Group should I use? (Normal or concurrency thread group)
2. What are the Controller should I use to achieve the required output.
3. How to distribute the load in 19 Slave server.
4. How to pass the test data (60K users with id and password)
5. Currently its implemented with If single thread group using controller, but client wants to implement it with multi threading.

I really appreciate your efforts and hard work, please help me to start this project
