I executed a load test for 1 hour in Jmeter. Below is the result

Request A1 : Samples-130983 Average-488 ms Throughput-34.11

Request B1 : Samples-130948 Average-170 ms Throughput-34.10

Request C1 : Samples-130940 Average-151 ms Throughput-34.11

Request D1 : Samples-130860 Average-79.98 ms Throughput-34.09

Request E1 : Samples-130925 Average-1757 ms Throughput-33.93

The reference link How Throughput and Response time are related says,

In terms of load/Performance testing. Throughput and Response times are inversely proportional. i.e With increase in response time throughput should decrease. With increase in Throughput response time should decrease

But in the result i have obtained the Throughput remains almost same for all the samples despite of them having varied Response time.

How can Throughput be same for varied Response time?

Are you using any timers for pacing? If you have a pacing and enough JMeter threads threads, you can definitely hit the same throughput with varied response time.

  • According to Little's law, Number Of Samples = Average Response time * Throughput. By considering my above requests, number of samples are 130983, response time is 448ms and Throughput is 34.11/s. The formula of little's law doesn't hold good for my results. – greeshma setty May 15 '19 at 07:34

Are there any variations in the number of threads between the different tests? If you have more threads, and the system maxes out at 34/s throughput, than the sample run with say 10 threads will have avg response time that is double that from the same run with 5 threads.
