Timer (Think Time & Pacing Time)

The user waiting time between user transactions and iterations is called as timer; in general it is measured in milliseconds.

There are different types of timers

•          Constant Timer
•          Gaussian Random Timer
•      Uniform Random Timer

Constant Timer

If you want to have each thread pause for the same amount of time between requests, use this timer.

Gaussian Random Timer

It pause each thread request for a random amount of time, with most of the time intervals occurring near a particular value. The total delay is the sum of the Gaussian distributed value (with mean 0.0 and standard deviation 1.0) times the deviation value you specify, and the offset value.

Uniform Random Timer

It pause each thread request for a random amount of time, with each time interval having the same probability of occurring. The total delay is the sum of the random value and the offset value.
