Loadrunner Throughput v/s hits/sec? How do you design spike testing in loadrunner & jmeter?

Question

Accepted Answer

Throughput measures the amount of data transferred per unit time, while hits/sec measures the number of requests served per second.

Throughput is measured in bytes/sec or bits/sec, while hits/sec is measured in requests/sec.
Throughput is affected by network bandwidth, while hits/sec is affected by server processing power.
To design spike testing in LoadRunner, use the 'Ramp-up' feature to gradually increase the load over time.
In JMeter, use the 'Thread Group' element to specify the number of users and the 'Ramp-up' period.
Spike testing can also be done by manually increasing the load using the 'Manual Scenario' option in LoadRunner.
