| <h1 id="building">7. Building an FTP 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 an FTP site. You will |
| create four users that send requests for two files on a FTP site. |
| Also, you will tell the users to run their tests twice. So, the total number of |
| requests is (4 users) x (2 requests) x (repeat 2 times) = 16 FTP requests.</p> |
| |
| <p>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#FTP_Request">FTP Request</a>, |
| <a href="../usermanual/component_reference.html#FTP_Request_Defaults">FTP Request Defaults</a>, and |
| <a href="../usermanual/component_reference.html#View_Results_in_Table">View Results in Table</a>.</p> |
| |
| |
| </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 Thread Group element by first selecting the Test Plan, |
| clicking your right mouse button to get the Add menu, and then select |
| <b>Add</b> → <b>ThreadGroup.</b> |
| </p> |
| |
| |
| <p>You should now see the <b>Thread Group</b> element under <b>Test Plan.</b> If you do not |
| see the element, then "expand" the Test Plan tree by clicking on the |
| <b>Test Plan</b> element.</p> |
| |
| |
| <p>Next, you need to modify the default properties. Select the <b>Thread Group</b> 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/webtest/threadgroup.png"><img src="../images/screenshots/webtest/threadgroup.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 <b>Thread Group.</b> In the name |
| field, enter 'FTP Users'.</p> |
| |
| |
| <p>Next, increase the number of users to 4.</p> |
| |
| |
| <p>In the next field, the <i>Ramp-Up</i> Period, leave the default value of 0 |
| seconds. This property tells JMeter how long to delay between starting each |
| user. For example, if you enter a <i>Ramp-Up</i> Period of 5 seconds, JMeter will |
| finish starting all of your users by the end of the 5 seconds. So, if we have |
| 5 users and a 5 second <i>Ramp-Up</i> Period, then the delay between starting users |
| would be 1 second (5 users / 5 seconds = 1 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 2 in |
| the <i>Loop Count</i> field. This property tells JMeter how many times to repeat your |
| test. To have JMeter repeatedly run your <b>Test Plan,</b> select the <i>Forever</i> |
| 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 FTP Users Thread Group.</p> |

| <h1 id="adding_defaults">7.2 Adding Default FTP Request Properties<a class="sectionlink" href="#adding_defaults" title="Link to here">¶</a> |
| </h1> |
| |
| <p>Now that we have defined our users, it is time define the tasks that they |
| will be performing. In this section, you will specify the default settings |
| for your FTP requests. And then, in section 7.3, you will add <b>FTP Request</b> |
| elements which use some of the default settings you specified here.</p> |
| |
| |
| <p>Begin by selecting the FTP Users element. Click your right mouse button |
| to get the Add menu, and then select <b>Add</b> → <b>Config Element</b> → <b>FTP Request |
| Defaults.</b> Then, select this new element to view its Control Panel (see Figure 7.3). |

| </figure> |
| |
| |
| <p> |
| Like most JMeter elements, the <a href="../usermanual/component_reference.html#FTP_Request_Defaults">FTP Request Defaults</a> Control |
| Panel has a name field that you can modify. In this example, leave this field with |
| the default value.</p> |
| |
| |
| <p>Skip to the next field, which is the FTP Server's Server Name/IP. For the |
| Test Plan that you are building, all FTP requests will be sent to the same |
| FTP server, ftp.domain.com in this case. Enter this domain name into the field. |
| This is the only field that we will specify a default, so leave the remaining |
| fields with their default values.</p> |
| |
| |
| <div class="clear"></div> |
| <div class="note">The FTP Request Defaults element does not tell JMeter |
| to send an FTP request. It simply defines the default values that the |
| FTP Request elements use.</div> |
| <div class="clear"></div> |
| |

| <p>See Figure 7.4 for the completed FTP Request Defaults element</p> |

| |
| <p>In our <b>Test Plan</b>, we need to make two <b>FTP requests</b>.</p> |

| <div class="clear"></div> |
| <div class="note">JMeter sends requests in the order that they appear in the tree.</div> |
| <div class="clear"></div> |
| |
| |
| <p>Start by adding the first <a href="../usermanual/component_reference.html#FTP_Request">FTP Request</a> |
| to the FTP Users element (<b>Add</b> → <b>Sampler</b> → <b>FTP Request</b>). |
| Then, select the <b>FTP Request</b> element in the tree and edit the following properties |
| (see Figure 7.5): |
| <ol> |
| |
| <li>Change the <i>Name</i> to "File1".</li> |
| |
| <li>Change the <i>Remote File</i> field to "/directory/file1.txt".</li> |
| |
| <li>Change the <i>Username</i> field to "anonymous".</li> |
| |
| <li>Change the <i>Password</i> field to "anonymous@test.com".</li> |

| |
| <div class="clear"></div> |
| <div class="note">You do not have to set the <i>Server Name</i> field because you already specified |

| <p>Next, add the second <b>FTP Request</b> and edit the following properties (see |

| <ol> |
| |
| <li>Change the <i>Name</i> to "File2".</li> |
| |
| <li>Change the <i>Remote File</i> field to "/directory/file2.txt".</li> |

| |
| <p>Run your test and view the results.</p> |
