What is hits per second in performance testing?
Hits per second represents the number of requests sent to the server in one second (the load which the server is being hit). Hits per second is the total load set by the concurrent virtual users on the server, no matter if they are executed successfully or not on the server side.
What is hits per second in JMeter?
‘Hits per second’ refers to the number of HTTP requests sent by the user(s) to the Web server in a second. A single transaction can create multiple hits on the server. A transaction is nothing but a group of requests in web test terminology.
How is the hit rate measured in JMeter?
The area in between the two curves are active request, request that the injector sent and are waiting to be processed. The hits plot is measured in RPS, it is counting requests not transactions. The same plot can be generate using the jmeter’s composite graph.
What’s the difference between hits per second and hits per hour?
Hits per second: This is the load with which the server is being hit. It means x number of hits are sent to the server every second. Both the scenarios you have mentioned may require thinking for a moment that there’s something fishy if they both use a different unit of time.
What’s the difference between througput and hit rate?
A test in which you note the difference is the peak test (you increase load until you crash the application), when the application exceeds its throughput the 2 plots will diverge. As you can see the blue curve differ from from the green one after 650RPS, then response times skyrocket and request start failing.
Throughput: This is the number of requests that are successfully executed/serviced per unit of time. For example, if the throughput is 50/minute, this means that on your server, per minute, 50 requests are executed successfully (accepted, processed and responded properly).
