Learn JMeter from Scratch on Live Applications - Performance Testin - Using Timers in JMeter

The video tutorial explains the use of timers in JMeter for load testing. It discusses how timers can help simulate real-time user behavior by introducing delays between thread executions. The tutorial provides a practical example of implementing timers in a JMeter script and explains different types of timers, including constant, Gaussian, and Poisson timers. The importance of using timers to ensure accurate database updates and mimic real-world scenarios is highlighted. The session concludes with a brief mention of the Constant Throughput Timer, which will be covered in a future session.
