Question

For development purpose I am sole user of my application. So I used my application normally for an hour an take access logs of it via tomcat. Now I am using Jmeter to test against these logs according to this Tutorial.

When I define Number of Threads=1 in Thread Group , Jmeter only process Ist request from log.
When I define Number of Threads=2 in Thread Group , Jmeter only process Ist 2 request from log.
When I define Number of Threads=3 in Thread Group , Jmeter only process Ist 3 request from log.
…
…
and so on.

My motive is to double(2x) or triple(3x) or nx the load from actual load and test it. How can I define my Test Plan in order to do it.

What I need to do for one user(I guess thread), Jmeter process all logs once. For n User Jmeter create n threads which individually process whole log simultaneously.

Answer 1

Check number of iteration value so that it as a sufficient value and add a Cookie Manager.

But access log sampler is not the best way to load test an application.

Why not use jmeter proxy:
