Jmeter - Generating summary report for load testing (multiple users)

I am using jmeter for load and performance testing. I am able to successfully generate summary report by using only one user as load. But, if I want to generate summary report for multiple users (say 100 users), how can I configure jmeter GUI to generate summary report?

Thanks in advance :)

You have to put the Summary Report controller at the top level, just beside (not inside) the Thread Group. Otherways, its scope becomes a single thread, which is not useful.

JMeter doesn't care about number of users. The only thing to consider: don't use JMeter GUI to perform load test itself.

The easiest approach to use:

  1. Configure your test as required. JMeter GUI can be used at this stage.
  2. Run your test in non-GUI console mode as follows:

    jmeter -n -t /path/to/your/test.jmx -l /path/to/test/results.jtl
    
  3. After load test open JMeter GUI (even empty test plan)
  4. Add the listener of your choice, i.e. Summary Report
  5. Click "Browse" button and open your /path/to/test/results.jtl
  6. Perform analysis, raise bugs, etc.

Also make sure that you're following other recommendations from JMeter Performance and Tuning Tips guide.
