How to run jmeter jmx files parallely from single command prompt

Question

I have 5 different jmx files in my project. I need to do performance testing by running all these jmx files parallely. Currently i'm opening 5 different jmeter command prompt instance and triggering the execution. Is there any way i can execute all these jmx files from 1 jmeter command prompt?

Answer 1

Depending on your operating system the options are in:

• Linux: there is a parallel command, you can go for something like:

  parallel --gnu << 'EOF'
  jmeter -n -t test1.jmx -l result1.jtl
  jmeter -n -t test1.jmx -l result2.jtl
  etc.
  EOF
  

• Windows: you can create a batch script assuming start command something like:

  start jmeter -n -t test1.jmx -l result1.jtl
  start jmeter -n -t test2.jmx -l result2.jtl
  etc.  
  

As a cross-platform unified solution you can consider using Taurus tool as a wrapper for your JMeter script you can kick off multiple JMeter tests in parallel using simple declarative YAML syntax like:

---
execution:
- scenario:
    script: test1.jmx
- scenario: 
    script: test2.jmx
- scenario: 
    script: test3.jmx
    #etc

See Taurus - Working with Multiple JMeter Tests for more details.

You need to use some other tools like Ant or Maven or jenkins for that.

Answer 3

Praveen, I don't think this is currently possible in JMeter to execute multiple .jmx files from single command , but I would suggest adding all 5 scripts in a single .jmx file if possible in your scenario.
