Building a Database Test Plan<a class="sectionlink" href="#building" title="Link to here">¶</a></h1> |
| <p>In this section, you will learn how to create a basic |
| <a href="build-test-plan.html">Test Plan</a> to test a database server. |
| You will create fifty users that send 2 SQL requests to the database server. |
| Also, you will tell the users to run their tests 100 times. So, the total number |
| of requests is (50 users) x (2 requests) x (repeat 100 times) = 10'000 JDBC requests. |
| To construct the Test Plan, you will use the following elements: |
| <a href="test_plan.html#thread_group">Thread Group</a>, |
| <a href="../usermanual/component_reference.html#JDBC_Request">JDBC Request</a>, <a href="../usermanual/component_reference.html#Summary_Report">Summary Report</a>.</p> |
| |
| <div class="clear"></div><div class="note">This example uses the MySQL database driver. |
| To use this driver, its containing .jar file (ex. mysql-connector-java-X.X.X-bin.jar) must be copied to the JMeter |
| <b>./lib</b> directory (see <a href="get-started.html#classpath">JMeter's Classpath</a> |
| for more details).</div><div class="clear"></div> |
| |
| </div><div class="section"><h1 id="adding_users">7.1 Adding Users<a class="sectionlink" href="#adding_users" title="Link to here">¶</a></h1> |
| <p>The first step you want to do with every JMeter Test Plan is to add a |
| <a href="test_plan.html#thread_group">Thread Group</a> element. The Thread Group |
| tells JMeter the number of users you want to simulate, how often the users should |
| send requests, and the how many requests they should send.</p> |
| |
| <p>Go ahead and add the ThreadGroup element by first selecting the Test Plan, |
| clicking your right mouse button to get the <span class="code">Add</span> menu, and then select |
| <span class="menuchoice"><span class="guimenuitem">Add</span> → <span class="guimenuitem">ThreadGroup</span></span>.</p> |
| |
| <p>You should now see the Thread Group element under Test Plan. If you do not |
| see the element, then "expand" the Test Plan tree by clicking on the |
| Test Plan element.</p> |
| |
| <p>Next, you need to modify the default properties. Select the Thread Group element |
| in the tree, if you have not already selected it. You should now see the Thread |
| Group Control Panel in the right section of the JMeter window (see Figure 7.1 |
| below)</p> |
| |
| <figure><a href="../images/screenshots/jdbctest/threadgroup1.png"><img src="../images/screenshots/jdbctest/threadgroup1.png" width="" height="" alt=" |
| Figure 7.1. Thread Group with Default Values"></a><figcaption> |
| Figure 7.1. Thread Group with Default Values</figcaption></figure> |
| |
| <p>Start by providing a more descriptive name for our Thread Group. In the name |
| field, enter JDBC Users.</p> |
| |
| <div class="clear"></div><div class="note">You will need a valid database, database table, and user-level access to that |
| table. In the example shown here, the database is 'cloud' and the table name is |
| 'vm_instance'.</div><div class="clear"></div> |
| |
| <p>Next, increase the number of users to 50.</p> |
| |
| <p>In the next field, the Ramp-Up Period, leave the value of 10 |
| seconds. This property tells JMeter how long to delay between starting each |
| user. For example, if you enter a Ramp-Up Period of 10 seconds, JMeter will |
| finish starting all of your users by the end of the 10 seconds. So, if we have |
| 50 users and a 10 second Ramp-Up Period, then the delay between starting users |
| would be 200 milliseconds (10 seconds / 50 users = 0.2 user per second). If you set the |
| value to 0, then JMeter will immediately start all of your users.</p> |
| |
| <p>Finally, enter a value of 100 in |
| the Loop Count field. This property tells JMeter how many times to repeat your |
| test. To have JMeter repeatedly run your Test Plan, select the Forever |
| checkbox.</p> |
| |
| <div class="clear"></div><div class="note">In most applications, you have to manually accept |
| changes you make in a Control Panel. However, in JMeter, the Control Panel |
| automatically accepts your changes as you make them. If you change the |
| name of an element, the tree will be updated with the new text after you |
| leave the Control Panel (for example, when selecting another tree element).</div><div class="clear"></div> |
| |
| <p>See Figure 7.2 for the completed JDBC Users Thread Group.</p> |

| </div><div class="section"><h1 id="adding_requests">7.2 Adding JDBC Requests<a class="sectionlink" href="#adding_requests" title="Link to here">¶</a></h1> |
| <p>Now that we have defined our users, it is time to define the tasks that they |
| will be performing. In this section, you will specify the JDBC requests to |
| perform.</p> |
| |
| <p>Begin by selecting the JDBC Users element. Click your right mouse button |
| to get the <b>Add</b> menu, and then select <span class="menuchoice"><span class="guimenuitem">Add</span> → <span class="guimenuitem">Config Element</span> → <span class="guimenuitem">JDBC Connection Configuration</span></span>. |
| Then, select this new element to view its Control Panel (see Figure 7.3).</p> |
| |
| <p>Set up the following fields (these assume we will be using a MySQL database called 'cloud'):</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li>Variable name (here: myDatabase) bound to pool. This needs to uniquely identify the configuration. It is used by the JDBC Sampler to identify the configuration to be used.</li> |
| <li>Database URL: jdbc:mysql://ipOfTheServer:3306/cloud</li> |
| <li>JDBC Driver class: com.mysql.jdbc.Driver</li> |
| <li>Username: the username of database</li> |
| <li>Password: password for the username</li> |
| </ul> |
| <p>The other fields on the screen can be left as the defaults.</p> |
| <p>JMeter creates a database connection pool with the configuration settings as specified in the Control Panel. |
| The pool is referred to in JDBC Requests in the 'Variable Name' field. |
| Several different JDBC Configuration elements can be used, but they must have unique names. |
| Every JDBC Request must refer to a JDBC Configuration pool. |
| More than one JDBC Request can refer to the same pool. |
| </p> |
| <figure><a href="../images/screenshots/jdbctest/jdbc-config.png"><img src="../images/screenshots/jdbctest/jdbc-config.png" width="" height="" alt=" |
| Figure 7.3. JDBC Configuration"></a><figcaption> |
| Figure 7.3. JDBC Configuration</figcaption></figure> |
| |
| <p>Selecting the JDBC Users element again. Click your right mouse button |
| to get the <b>Add</b> menu, and then select <span class="menuchoice"><span class="guimenuitem">Add</span> → <span class="guimenuitem">Sampler</span> → <span class="guimenuitem">JDBC Request</span></span>. |
| Then, select this new element to view its Control Panel (see Figure 7.4).</p> |
| |
| <figure><a href="../images/screenshots/jdbctest/JDBCRequest.png"><img src="../images/screenshots/jdbctest/JDBCRequest.png" width="" height="" alt=" |
| Figure 7.4. JDBC Request"></a><figcaption> |
| Figure 7.4. JDBC Request</figcaption></figure> |
| |
| <p>In our Test Plan, we will make two JDBC requests. The first one is for |
| select all 'Running' VM instances, and the second is to select 'Expunging' VM instance (obviously you should |
| change these to examples appropriate for your particular database). These |
| are illustrated below.</p> |
| |
| <div class="clear"></div><div class="note">JMeter sends requests in the order that you add them to the tree.</div><div class="clear"></div> |
| |
| <p>Start by editing the following properties (see Figure 7.5): |
| <ul> |
| <li>Change the Name to 'VM Running'.</li> |
| <li>Enter the Pool Name: 'myDatabase' (same as in the configuration element)</li> |
| <li>Enter the SQL Query String field.</li> |
| <li>Enter the Parameter values field with 'Running' value.</li> |
| <li>Enter the Parameter types with 'VARCHAR'.</li> |
| </ul> |
| </p> |

| Figure 7.5. JDBC Request for the first SQL request</figcaption></figure> |
| |
| <p>Next, add the second JDBC Request and edit the following properties (see |
| Figure 7.6): |
| <ul> |
| <li>Change the Name to 'VM Expunging'.</li> |
| <li>Change the value of Parameter values to 'Expunging'.</li> |

| </div><div class="section"><h1 id="adding_listener">7.3 Adding a Listener to View/Store the Test Results<a class="sectionlink" href="#adding_listener" title="Link to here">¶</a></h1> |
| <p>The final element you need to add to your Test Plan is a |
| <a href="component_reference.html#listeners">Listener</a>. This element is |
| responsible for storing all of the results of your JDBC requests in a file |
| and presenting the results.</p> |
| |
| <p>Select the <i>JDBC Users</i> element and add a <a href="../usermanual/component_reference.html#Summary_Report">Summary Report</a> |
| listener (<span class="menuchoice"><span class="guimenuitem">Add</span> → <span class="guimenuitem">Listener</span> → <span class="guimenuitem">Summary Report</span></span>).</p> |
| |
| <p>Save the test plan, and run the test with the menu |
| <span class="menuchoice"><span class="guimenuitem">Run</span> → <span class="guimenuitem">Start</span></span> or |
| <span class="keycombo"><span class="keysym">Ctrl</span> + <span class="keysym">R</span></span> |
| </p> |
| |
| <p>The listener shows the results.</p> |
