JMeter Load Test for Simple PHP Post

This a fairly simple load test was written in JMeter. It runs against my server, where a simple PHP program accepts incoming GET requests and writes the received data into a text file. The test uses this text file on the server to verify that data was received properly.

There are 2 separate implemented tests:

1. Simple PHP post to text file.jmx: all 10 threads run independently without any synchronization
2. Simple PHP post to text file - rendez.jmx: all 10 threads synchronize (use a rendezvous point) and hit the server (almost) at once.

Each JMX run uses a setup transaction which requests that server clear the text file, to ensure that previous test runs are cleared.

Requirements to runs

Pre-requisites

1. Windows or Linux machine
2. Jmeter 3.1 (download here)

Actually running

1. Open JMeter
2. Load one of the JMX files
3. Click Run
