Recording Jmeter scripts using Jmeter’s HTTP(S) Test Script recorder

How to create Jmeter scripts?

Recording Jmeter scripts using Jmeter’s HTTP(S) Test Script recorder. There are two ways

1)      Manually adding scripts ( Test plan >> Tread Group >> Add>> Sampler >> HTTP Request )

2)      Recording using Jmeter’s HTTP(S) Test Script recorder

How to record Jmeter scripts using HTTP(S) Test Script recorder?

Prior doing that we need to configure browser and learn about the Proxy setup

Jmeter to Application server communication need to be routed through a browser Proxy for this recording purpose. For that you may need to select the Browser (here we can use Firefox browser”

1)      Navigate to Firefox >> Tools >> options >> Advanced >> Network >> Settings

2)      Select Manual Proxy configuration >> HTTP Proxy = localhost & Port = 8080

ff-settings

3)      Once this configuration is made – create Recording controller

Path ==>  Test plan >> Tread Group >> Add>> Logic Controller >> Recording controller

recording-controller

Recording controller will look like as below:

recording-controller-1

4)      Now add the HTTP(S) Test Script recorder

script-recorder

HTTP(S) Test Script recorder will look like as below:

 How to add Thread group?

 

  1. Right click on the TestPlan
  2. Select Add>Thread Group from the popup.thread-group

How we design the user transactions or thread group?

As per below screenshot –

1)      The requirement shows that number of threads or user actions needed as 60

2)      Ram up time is given as 180 sec

3)      This indicates that a delay of 3 sec between transactions are applied.

This will ensure that the 60th thread or user will be starting the action at 180th sec.

Here this example is selected based on user requirement or to verify performance metrics.
