<p>In this section, you will learn how to create a
<a href="build-test-plan.html">Test Plan</a> to test JMS Providers. You will
create five subscribers and one publisher. You will create 2 thread groups and set
each one to 10 iterations. The total messages is (6 threads) x (1 message) x
(repeat 10 times) = 60 messages. 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#JMS_Publisher">JMS Publisher</a>,
<a href="../usermanual/component_reference.html#JMS_Subscriber">JMS Subscriber</a>, and
<a href="../usermanual/component_reference.html#Graph_Results">Graph Results</a>.</p><p>General notes on JMS: There are currently two JMS samplers. One uses JMS topics
and the other uses queues. Topic messages are commonly known as pub/sub messaging.
Topic messaging is generally used in cases where a message is published by a producer and
consumed by multiple subscribers. Queue messaging is generally used for transactions
where the sender expects a response. Messaging systems are quite different from
normal HTTP requests. In HTTP, a single user sends a request and gets a response.
Messaging system can work in synchronous and asynchronous mode. A JMS sampler needs
the JMS implementation jar files; for example, from Apache ActiveMQ.
See <a href="get-started.html#libraries_activemq">here</a> for the list of jars provided by ActiveMQ.</p></blockquote>

<p>The first step is 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 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="menuchoice">
<span class="guimenuitem">Add</span> </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 11.1
below)</p><table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"><tr><td><img src="../../docs/images/screenshots/webtest/threadgroup.png"/><br>

<p>Start by providing a more descriptive name for our Thread Group. In the name
field, enter <tt class="code">Subscribers</tt>.</p><p>Next, increase the number of users (called threads) to <tt class="code">5</tt>.</p><p>In the next field, the Ramp-Up Period, set the value to <tt class="code">0</tt>
seconds. This property tells JMeter how long to delay between starting each
user. For example, if you enter a Ramp-Up 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 Ramp-Up 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, JMeter will immediately start all users.</p><p>Clear the checkbox labeled "<tt class="code">Forever</tt>", and enter a value of <tt class="code">10</tt> in the Loop
Count field. This property tells JMeter how many times to repeat your test.
If you enter a loop count value of <tt class="code">0</tt>, then JMeter will run your test only
once. To have JMeter repeatedly run your Test Plan, select the <tt class="code">Forever</tt>
checkbox.</p><p>Repeat the process and add another thread group. For the second thread
group, enter "<tt class="code">Publisher</tt>" in the name field, set the number of threads to <tt class="code">1</tt>,
and set the iteration to <tt class="code">10</tt>.
