All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Cloneable, Searchable, TestBean, TestElement, TestStateListener, Timer

public class ConstantThroughputTimer
extends AbstractTestElement
implements Timer, TestStateListener, TestBean

This class implements a constant throughput timer. A Constant Throughtput Timer paces the samplers under its influence so that the total number of samples per unit of time approaches a given constant as much as possible. There are two different ways of pacing the requests: - delay each thread according to when it last ran - delay each thread according to when any thread last ran

Constructor Detail

ConstantThroughputTimer

public ConstantThroughputTimer()

Constructor for a non-configured ConstantThroughputTimer.

Method Detail

setThroughput

public void setThroughput(double throughput)

Sets the desired throughput.

Parameters:

throughput - Desired sampling rate, in samples per minute.

getThroughput

public double getThroughput()

Gets the configured desired throughput.

Returns:

the rate at which samples should occur, in samples per minute.

getCalcMode

public int getCalcMode()

setCalcMode

public void setCalcMode(int mode)

delay

public long delay()

Retrieve the delay to use during test execution.

Specified by:

delay in interface Timer

Returns:

the computed delay value.

See Also:

Timer.delay()

calculateCurrentTarget

protected long calculateCurrentTarget(long currentTime)

Parameters:

currentTime -

Returns:

new Target time

toString

public String toString()

Provide a description of this timer class. TODO: Is this ever used? I can't remember where. Remove if it isn't -- TODO: or obtain text from bean's displayName or shortDescription.

Overrides:

toString in class Object

Returns:

the description of this timer class.

testStarted

public void testStarted()

Get the timer ready to compute delays for a new test.

Called just before the start of the test from the main engine thread. This is before the test elements are cloned. Note that not all the test variables will have been set up at this point.

N.B. testStarted() and testEnded() are called from different threads.

Specified by:

testStarted in interface TestStateListener

See Also:

StandardJMeterEngine.run()

setProperty

public void setProperty(JMeterProperty property)

Override the setProperty method in order to convert the original String calcMode property. This used the locale-dependent display value, so caused problems when the language was changed. Note that the calcMode StringProperty is replaced with an IntegerProperty so the conversion only needs to happen once.

Specified by:

setProperty in interface TestElement

Overrides:

setProperty in class AbstractTestElement

testEnded

public void testEnded()

Called once for all threads after the end of a test. This will use the same element instances as at the start of the test.

N.B. testStarted() and testEnded() are called from different threads.

Specified by:

testEnded in interface TestStateListener

See Also:

StandardJMeterEngine.stopTest()

testStarted

public void testStarted(String host)

Called just before the start of the test from the main engine thread. This is before the test elements are cloned. Note that not all the test variables will have been set up at this point.

N.B. testStarted() and testEnded() are called from different threads.

Specified by:

testStarted in interface TestStateListener

Parameters:

host - name of host

See Also:

StandardJMeterEngine.run()

testEnded

public void testEnded(String host)

Called once for all threads after the end of a test. This will use the same element instances as at the start of the test.

N.B. testStarted() and testEnded() are called from different threads.

Specified by:

testEnded in interface TestStateListener

Parameters:

host - name of host

StandardJMeterEngine.stopTest()
