title: jmeter response times using Response Time over Time
body: <p>I'm new to JMeter (with a solid 5 days experience!) and so would like a little guidance if that's ok.  I've been trawling through the jmeter help and I did search (prior to submitting this request) for other response times questions, however I don't know enough to identify whether they're relevant or not - so I do apologise if this is the request is a duplication of a previous query.</p>
  
  <p>My environment:
  JMeter v2.11
  JRE v7
  Remote Oracle 12 DB</p>
  
  <p>I am performance testing a system that will submit messages into a receiving component.</p>
  
  <p>I have a requirement that states that the system can handle 2000 messages per hour (or 2000/3600 = 0.56 submissions/second)</p>
  
  <p>So I have some beanshell samplers all ready setup to inject a single SOAP/XML message to emulate the submissions.</p>
  
  <p>The beanshell samplers sit within a thread group object with settings as follows: </p>
  
  <p>Thread Count: 1
  Loop Count: 2000
  StartTime: 2015/03/01 13:00:00
  EndTime: 2015/03/01 14:00:00
  Duration: 3600</p>
  
  <p>I was thinking of using the 'Response Times over Time' plugin to verify the submission rate of 0.56/second - does this make sense if I specify the start/end times and the duration for the execution run with my thread group settings?  I need to verify the response time for EACH of the 2000 submissions is &lt;=0.56/seconds.</p>
  
  <p>Can anyone tell me if I have the correct approach defined and if not - can you point me in the correct direction?</p>
  
  <p>Many thanks - I appreciate any help anyone can provide.</p>
