I have an ubuntu webserver(LAMP) running a clients website.I have already created a test plan with jmeter, what i would like to know is how would we benchmark the server with Jmter and create a test report.

Like the maximum number of concurrent users it can handle and maximum number of requests the server could serve with out any issues.

As per The Load Reports guide, JMeter out-of-the-box Aggregare Report Listener will provide following performance metrics:

  • # Samples - is the number of samples with the same label.
  • Average - is the average time of a set of results.
  • Median - is a number which divides the samples into two equal halves. Half of the samples are smaller than the median, and half are larger. [Some samples may equal the median.] This is a standard statistical measure. The Median is the same as the 50th Percentile.
  • 90% Line (90th Percentile) - meaning 90% of the samples took no more than this time.
  • Min - is the shortest time for the samples with the same label
  • Max - is the longest time for the samples with the same label
  • Error % - is the percent of requests with errors
  • Throughput - s measured in requests per second/minute/hour. The time unit is chosen so that the displayed rate is at least 1.0. When the throughput is saved to a CSV file, it is expressed in requests/second, i.e. 30.0 requests/minute is saved as 0.5.
  • Kb/sec - throughput measured in Kilobytes per second. Time is in milliseconds.

You might also use JMeter Plugins which provide some more useful graphs and listeners like:

Or alternatively use JMeter Cloud Plugin which does all above and more and also has different test runs comparison feature.
