To overcome the limitations of Constant Throughput Timer, another timer called "Throughput Shaping Timer" can be added in the test plan to prepare a goal-based scenario where the target is to achieve desired RPS (requests per second) with the distributed load. The same scenario configuration settings, we have seen for Ultimate Thread Group and Free-Form Arrivals Thread Group. The only difference in all these 3 JMeter elements is1. Thread rate is distributed in Ultimate Thread Group
2. Iteration rate is distributed in Free-Form Arrivals Thread Group
3. Request (Samples) rate is distributed in Throughput Shaping Timer
