Dynamic Requests from Code

One of the challenges that often presents itself when testing modern web applications is the ubiquitous reliance on asynchronous requests embedded in the user experience. It is possible to replicate most of these actions purely using request samplers in JMeter. However, there are many cases where it is desirable to get the response for a simple task – especially where it helps us attain our main test objectives. There may also be a need to requestRead More →

JMeter Timers Primer

Some of the most versatile components in JMeter are timers. Without JMeter timers, elements of a JMeter test plan are executed sequentially without pausing. This can potentially overwhelm your target test application by generating too many requests in a short period of time. In this brief post, we will cover most of the available types of timers that can be used in JMeter test plans. You can find all available timer elements under the “Timers” submenuRead More →

Disclaimer: This post is for those still using Beanshell. However, you should know that the Philippe Mouawad, JMeter contributor, has asked us to pass on that everyone should “avoid Beanshell in favor of JSR223 + Groovy because Beanshell is old, slow and does not support Java 5 and upper syntax.” If you still will be using Beanshell for whatever reason, here are Beanshell for JMeter Best Practices. JMeter has powerful abilities to perform general tasks outRead More →
