Throughput Controller in JMeter

Table of content

The Throughput Controller allows the user to control how often it is executed. There are two modes:
- Percent execution: This causes the controller to stop executing after a certain number of executions have occurred.
- Total executions : This causes the controller to stop executing after a certain number of executions have occurred.
Like the Once Only Controller, this setting is reset when a parent Loop Controller restarts.

Open the JMeter and then add thread Group into your Test Plan and enter the number of Users as 10.
Next, add Three HTTP Request Samplers Inside the Thread Group as shown below. First I am going to add HTTP Request and entering the Homepage Address of the New Tours demo site as shown below.
Add one more HTTP Request and enter the Welcome page address in the Server name as below.
Add one more HTTP Request and enter the Register page address.
Add Aggregate Report to the Thread Group as below.
Now save and run the TestPlan, after the execution, all the requests have been hit by the 10 virtual users.
But, my requirement here that, I want to distribute virtual users to each request.
So I want 2 users to hit Home Page,3 Users to hit the Welcome page and 5 users to hit the Register page.
This can be done by using the Throughput Controller.
Add three Throughput controller to the Thread Group and then assign each request to the different throughput controller.
Next, click on the Throughput controller and then select the Percentage Execution and then enter the percentage of the throughput as 20%, 30%, and 50% in each throughput.
After entering the throughput percentage in each in throughputs, save and execute the Test Plan.
The Throughput will help us to distribute the virtual users based on a percentage if a Test Plan is having multiple numbers of Thread Groups.
