How to use JMeter Constant Throughput Timer

In simple test plan, requests send by JMeter to the application is continuous i.e. one after the other. But in the real scenario, there is always a time interval (milliseconds) between the requests. Thus to check the application with a particular number of requests per minute we can use the JMeter element named 'Constant Throughput Timer'.
During testing, it is required that a load of particular throughput need to be sent to the application. In that case, this timer can be used to achieve the result.
Implementing this timer in test plan is very simple and easy. It can be added under controller with the path --> Right click on Controller > Add > Select Timer > Constant Throughput Timer.

Now let's see a sample JMeter test plan which uses Constant Throughput Timer to execute 10 requests per minute:

Step 1
Following configurations done in Threads groups:
Number of threads - 1, Ramp up period - 1 and Loop Count - Forever

Step 2
Constant Throughput Timer addedwiththroughtput = 10 and Calculate Throughput based on = all active threads. This implies per minute 10 requests will be executed.

Step 3
Now check the time difference between the 1st sample and 11th sample, it is 1 minute. This shows the desired result of hitting 10 samples per minute is successfully achieved.

Thanks

Happy Testing!!
