Let me tell you a secret: you’ll get all the answers below. You will learn how to swarm your system with dynamically behaving users thanks to JMeter CSV Data Set Config.

JMeter response assertion

Jmeter Jan 18, 2018

Find out the purpose of JMeter response assertions. From configuration to best practices, learn how to make the most out of them.

When running a protocol based load test with JMeter, it is always a challenge to make sure the server responses are correct. The default validation is only done on HTTP response codes based on their value: OK < 400 <= KO And since 4XX and 5XX HTTP response codes are error messages it makes sense. But it’s easy to understand why this is not enough. What to expect with no assertions Take any web application with a login, when you enter invalid credentials you might get something like this:

Multiple User Login Using JMeter

Jmeter Dec 14, 2017

You need to create a different thread with unique session for each user? Learn how to use different logins per user with a CSV file.

Problem You want to simulate a realistic load test where every user is having a unique user session. You application may only accept one user login per account at a time. You want each concurrent user to pick a different login password. It’s way more realistic to simulate concurrent users using unique logins and passwords because it’s closer to the real world load. It’s a good practice to avoid using a single user login and password for all concurrent users.

Fix JMeter SNI Issue

Jmeter Dec 7, 2017

Got an handshake_alert or any other Https related issue with JMeter? It might be linked to Server Name Indication HTTPS extension.

SNI is the acronym for Server Name Indication: Server Name Indication (SNI) is an extension to the TLS computer networking protocol by which a client indicates which hostname it is attempting to connect to at the start of the handshaking process. SNI extension may not work with legacy web-servers who doesn’t support it. Fortunately, SNI extension can be disabled in JMeter. JMeter is a Java program. Java has enabled SNI support in Java 7.

How to Use JMeter While Controller

Jmeter Nov 30, 2017

A complete guide on how to use JMeter’s While Controller to design loops that break on a specific condition.

JMeter’s While controller is best suited for advanced scripts which simulate realistic user behaviors. It allows to define a behavior which occurs on a certain condition. Designing realistic behaving users involves designing users whose behavior depends on the server responses, and act accordingly. This post explores in details various JMeter While usages and explains them thoroughly. Difference with If Controller The difference is pretty simple to understand: If controller children are executed zero or one time when the condition is met, While controller children are executed zero, one or multiples times depending how many times the condition is met.
