When I am running my J meter script getting this error :

 

2015/10/25 13:35:15 ERROR - jmeter.threads.JMeterThread: Error processing Assertion  java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space
2015/10/25 13:35:15 ERROR - jmeter.threads.JMeterThread: Error processing Assertion     java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space

2015/10/25 13:35:17 ERROR - jmeter.threads.JMeterThread: Test failed!

When I am running script for 100 users then its happening although script is working for 2,3 users.

Please help!

This error comes when your java heap space is fully occupied so now you have to increase the heap allocation for JMeter.

Its very easy , You just have to follow these 2 steps :

1. There is a file in JMeter folder called jmeter.bat or jmeter.sh which is used to run jmeter, now you have to just use a parameter while launching jmeter . also you can change this parameter by editing this file.

JVM_ARGS="-Xms512m -Xmx512m" jmeter.sh

You can change this parameter as per your RAM, here it is 512m of your ram. you should use only 80% of your ram capacity.

2. The other thing to reduce this error is your script listeners they consume a good amount of memory so remove all listeners.

 

Now try with more users you won't get this error.
