Analyzing Response Times Over Time
An important aspect of performance testing is the response times of the application under test. As such, it is often important to visually see the response times over a duration of time as the test plan is executed. Out of the box, JMeter comes with the Response Time Graph listener for this purpose, but it is limited and lacks some features. Such features include the ability to focus on a particular sample when viewing chat results, controlling the granularity of timeline values, selectively choosing which samples appear or not in the resulting chart, controlling whether to use relative graphs or not, and so on. To address all these and more, the Response Times Over Time listener extension from the JMeter plugins project comes to the rescue. It shines in areas where the Response Time Graph falls short.
