I have a need where executed API tests from Intellij(rest assured framework), to record into Jmeter. Is this possible at all, and if so, what is the easiest way?
Take a look at RestAssured.proxy
If you add the next line to your tests:
RestAssured.proxy("localhost",8888);
and launch JMeter's HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder - JMeter will capture the network traffic and generate relevant HTTP Request samplers and HTTP Header Managers

I am trying to record a script for web application (https protocol)using jmeter-5.3. The xml file in the view result tree of HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder is capturing all the calls. but once I finished my recording and check the xml file doesn't have the calls(the first 3-4 transaction calls) in the beginning of the script in the xml. why its happening and how can I fix it?
According to JMeter Best Practices you should be using the latest version of JMeter so consider upgrading to JMeter 5.4.3 (or whatever is the latest version which is available at JMeter Downloads page)
Check "Grouping" setting of the HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder, it might be the case you have Store 1st sampler of each group only selected and it can discard important requests:
Make sure to use Recording Template as it generates good and valid recording test plan
Check jmeter.log file for any suspicious entries
Try alternative way of recording a JMeter test i.e. JMeter Chrome Extension and see whether all requests which should be captured are captured.
I am new to jmeter. Creating a simple script seems easy via browser actions recording. Can that be done without launching the jmeter IDE?
As per latest stable JMeter version 5.4.1 it's not possible to start HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder without starting JMeter GUI
If you cannot do this for any reason the options are in:
Use JMeter Chrome Extension
Use your browser developer tools to record your test request into a .HAR file, once done you can:
either use online conversion tool to convert .har file into a JMeter script
or manually create JMeter's HTTP Request samplers by looking into requests details in the browser developer tools. If you cannot launch JMeter GUI at this stage as well you can consider using Taurus automation framework which allows creation of JMeter test plans using YAML syntax
You need to start the JMeter proxy for recording the test and it is not possible to start the proxy through available options.
There is a number of ways available for building test plans including the HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder.
Ten different ways to build JMeter Test Plans
The recording feature can be used even for complex scripts. You will have to use/add JMeter components and configure them once the recording is done to achieve the desired user actions.
I am pretty new to load testing and whole web thing.
Is there any way to implement things that this Vugen Loadrunner code do
web_custom_request("action",
"{URL}",
"Method=POST",
"Resource=0",
"RecContentType=text/html",
"Referer={refURL}",
"Snapshot=t57.inf",
"Mode=HTTP",
"Body={PARAMETER}",
LAST);
In jmeter? The {PARAMETER} is just a String.
JMeter's equivalent would be HTTP Request sampler.
JMeter's Variables have a little bit different syntax so the equivalent configuration would be something like:
If you want to have full control there is also HTTP Raw Request sampler which can be installed using JMeter Plugins Manager
Also be aware that you can record your LoadRunner script using JMeter's HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder, just start JMeter's HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder and in LoadRunner's Runtime Settings set JMeter as the proxy:
When you run your LoadRunner test JMeter will capture the requests and save them under Recording Controller

To send any kind of HTTP Request you can use HTTP Request Sampler
To start with use this practical example : build-web-test-plan and then move to advanced build-adv-web-test-plan
Parameterization in JMeter and

Being a performance tester/engineer/architect brings with it a core ability to recognize patterns associated with success and failure
I am pretty new to load testing and whole web thing.
This is a massive antipattern for success in this field. You need your foundation skills vetted and shored up. You really do need training and a mentor for a period of time.
If your management is asking you to perform in this role, then they should also ensure your path to success. If they are unwilling to fund your training and mentoring period, then I would recommend seeking new management who are more interested in your success and the success of the project.
I have been looking into postman and JMeter for a school project and I know that you can run a postman test and get results using JMeter. I have also been told that the main reason for JMeter is that you can run that test many times in JMeter unlike postman.
Does anyone know how to do this? got any links or resources you can share or just know the answer yourself?
I have been searching online for answers and I have connected the 2 application through using the HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder but this only provides me with 1 result and I have been unable to find anything that talks about using this to run the test many times.
If anyone is able to provide me with a solution it would be much appreciated
First of all you need to convert your Postman test into a JMeter test, the approach is as simple as running test in Postman using JMeter as the proxy:
Configure JMeter for recording. The fastest way is using JMeter Templates
feature
From JMeter's main menu choose File -> Templates -> Recording and click "Create". You should get a Test Plan structure like:
Expand HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder and click "Start"
Prepare Postman for recording.
From Postman's main menu choose File -> Settings -> Proxy and configure it like:
Run your collection in Postman
JMeter should generate relevant HTTP Request samplers under the Recording Controller
Now expand Thread Group and set the desired number of threads (virtual users) and loops (iterations)
Run your test in JMeter
Inspect results using View Results Tree listener
More information: Building a Web Test Plan - Adding Users
After you record the script in JMeter, you can run multiple times in Thread Group element by (increasing Threads Number to run script with multi threads or) increasing Loop Count, if you want to just repeat the script
thread group element controls the number of threads JMeter will use to execute your test. The controls for a thread group allow you to:
Set the number of threads
Set the ramp-up period
Set the number of times to execute the test
How can I execute those JMeter recorded script in parallel as we do while creating HTTP SAMPLER (Embedded HTTP Resource) ?
While recording I also checked Retrieve All Embedded Resource with pool of 6. Because of this I getting incorrect response time(Varies from browser timing of page).
Is there any way that we could execute our recorded HTTP Samplers in parallel?
As of JMeter version 3.2 it is not possible to kick off extra threads to run a specific sampler(s) group in parallel, each thread (virtual user) executes samplers upside down.
So you should be very careful with what you are recording. For example, you must not be recording any embedded resources calls, there is `URLs Patterns to Exclude" input on the "Requests Filtering" tab of the HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder where you can define which resources need to be excluded from the recording.
Remember that well-behaved JMeter test should be producing response time similar to real browser, but you need to configure JMeter to mimic real browser, to wit:
Add HTTP Header Manager to represent browser headers
Add HTTP Cookie Manager to represent browser cookies and deal with cookie-based authentication
Add HTTP Cache Manager to act like browser's memory and disk caches
