Jmeter in Cloud Setup with 30k User Load

Question

I want to test a mobile application with 30k load in jmeter with cloud set-up,as i have never done such a huge v.user load in jmeter and with distributed load,please help me how to proceed with detailed step by step.

I have worked in jmter for past 5-6 months but with only one load generator machine with 200-300 V.user.

Answer 1

The approach is the same but with one interim step.

1. Configure JMeter for the maximum performance. See 9 Easy Solutions for a JMeter Load Test “Out of Memory” Failure for tuning tips.
2. Determine how many users you are able to simulate from a single machine (gradually increase the number of users and monitor load generator resources consumption)
3. Calculate how many machines you will need
4. Install JMeter and run jmeter-server on them. See Apache JMeter Distributed Testing Step-by-step guide for details
5. Run your test, analyze results, raise issues.
