i have a scenario, as given below
once the user navigating to planning page and
clicks on a menu,
it will open the lists of recipes in week wise.
if the users wants to add a recipe for a particular, it has an option to click on '+', which will open a popup window which has all the recipe details available.
I have recorded the scenario using JMeter and it has the dynamic values like __VIEWSTATE and ___EVENTVALIDATION etc., and correlated them as well.
But at the 4th step, in the jmeter instead of proper response body and the below message is displayed.

Any suggests
Make sure to add HTTP Cookie Manager to your Test Plan
Make sure that your correlation really works, i.e.
associated JMeter Variables are there
they have correct values (like you extracted the dynamic parameter fully)
depending on your application and extra step might be required like URL-encoding the parameter or vice versa
You can use Debug Sampler and View Results Tree listener combination in order to check these variables
Use an external sniffer tool like Wireshark or Fiddler to capture the requests from JMeter and the real browser, the requests must be exactly the same including:
URL
Headers
Request body
all the dynamic parameters must be properly correlated. Given you will send the same request you should get the same response

I have saved the HTTP Header Manager information for an endpoint as below:
However, when i execute this test plan i see in the test results tree view, many of the hits fail. I figure from the response headers i see there that it is using the header value i had put in earlier.
Why are these history values being used? How do i get rid of it.
Check the request start time, it might be the case you're looking at "old" results and you need to scroll down to see "new" results. Alternatively you can invoke Clear all menu entry which will remove all the previous results, logs, etc.
Running tests in GUI mode should only be used for development and debugging, for your 100 threads you should switch to command-line non-GUI mode
Also when you're done with designing your test consider removing all the listeners as they don't add any value and just consume valuable resources. More information: Reducing resource requirements
I assume you have a Header Manager for the specific http request (HTTP Sampler). You need to override the values in the individual HTTP Sampler's Header Manager. JMeter follows hierarchy where you can override values at node level.
I want to do load test as well as performance test a website and I have recorded user step by step action through jmeter recording by proxy setting. And when I run this recorded test it gets passed all the sections except one section.
During recording steps, it gets filled all the required fields like POST, GET, PATH etc by default as well as like token, session id etc in the HTTP header manager. When user login again its get unique session id and token through Regular Expression Extractor. But my test gets failed when the user wants to accept a task it says unauthorized. I have attached screenshot.
This image showing all the steps user will do from login to logout.
Here steps 2.9 section gets fail.
Here its showing the response from the server.
Please let me know where am I doing wrong.
There are multiple possible issues with your test:
Location of the Regular Expression Extractor and other Post and Pre-Processors. According to JMeter Scoping Rules they are applied to all your Samplers so please double check if this is something you're looking for. If you want to apply the Post-Processor to a single sampler - you need to move it to be a child of the particular sampler
Since JMeter 3.1 it's recommended to use JSR223 Test Elements and Groovy language for scripting so consider converting your Beanshell test elements into JSR223 ones
Since JMeter 3.0 there is JSON Extractor which you should be using instead of the plugins
In general HTTP status 401 means Unauthorized so double check that your test is doing what it is supposed to be doing using View Results Tree listener. You might also want to double check JMeter Variables values using Debug Sampler as it might be the case that the variables are being overwritten with something you don't expect due to the aforementioned Scoping Rules potential issue
I am currently trying to record a webpage which includes bundled.js files which are used to build the webpage.
Tool: JMeter version 3.0
The issue is that when I record the page in JMeter and replay the page response does not include all the elements and therefore I am unable to correlate the values that I need to then pass to the next call.
What I have noticed is that if I attach a view results tree to the recorder the values that I am looking for are visible. So they are being captured during the record but not visible on the response when replaying.
I am thinking that the .js files are executed during page load and therefore not being captured and all it shows is the actual
Please help
JMeter does not run client-side JS code at all. JS code is used for rendering on client side, while recording (and replay) in JMeter is done on HTTP level (communication level between client and server). It's the same level you'd see on Net tab in Developer tools of the browser. As far as recording/replay are concerned, those file will only be downloaded, and the client to server traffic they produce will be replayed. But nothing that runs purely on client side will be replayed. So if some magic/logic happens on client side (e.g. calculations, data transformation, etc within JS, which then is sent to the server), you have 2 options:
Duplicate the same logic /dynamic data using JMeter scripting functionality before sending an HTTP request. This is what most commonly people do.
Or another option is to use Selenium sampler and duplicate UI-level behavior, but that type of testing is quite limiting and only fits certain cases
I am using Jmeter(2.3.2) to create script for one of my application with a scenario which has flow for 4 to 5 pages. I have recorded the script using HTTP Proxy Server. The scripts has been generated successfully under Thread Group >> Recording Controller.
After running the scripts (Threads- 1, Ramp Up period - 1, Loop Count - 1 ), below are the observations I noted in View Results Tree:
The Result Tree view shows all as Checked(Green) - OK
The Sample result for all screens shows Error Count as 0 - OK
But in the response tab when I try to view the results by using 'Render Html' response data - the response data shows the same response for all the requests.
I am getting the response data of the first request for all the other requests.
I am not sure, whether the Jmeter script generated is functional or not? What is the cause for getting the same response data for all the requests?
Please, can anyone let me know what may the issue?
I bet that the same page you're observing is a kind of login page or dashboard which is accessible by unauthenticated user.
First of all make sure that you have HTTP Cookie Manager added to your test plan. It represents browser cookies and deals with user sessions and cookie-based authentication.
If it doesn't resolve your issue the problem is bigger and you will need to do some extra stuff. Modern web applications use multiple mechanisms of current state of things storing and managing, security enhancements and so on. From JMeter's point of view it results in dynamic mandatory parameters. The process of these dynamic parameters extraction from previous request and adding them to next request is called "correlation". So you need to do the following:
Detect which parameters being sent by a recorded script are dynamic. The easiest way is to record the same scenario several times and inspect request bodies to see what is being static and what changes.
Once you figure out which parameters are "interesting" you need to locate them in the first response body/headers/etc.
As soon as you have identified what necessary parameters are and where they live you need to use one of JMeter's PostProcessors to extract required values from previous response and save them to JMeter Variables
Once you have a JMeter Variable it can be used wherever required.
Depending on response data type the most commonly used JMeter's Post Processors which provide correlation capabilities are:
Regular Expression Extractor - the most commonly used test element which covers >90% of needs.
XPath Extractor - better to use against XML data i.e. for testing SOAP Web Services.
CSS/JQuery Extractor - when you need to fetch something from complex HTML where Regular Expression Extractor is useless.
So for putting everything together loog for "jmeter correlation" in your favorite search engine or see ASP.NET Login Testing with JMeter guide.
First JMeter 2.3.2 is WAY TOO OLD (10 years old), upgrade to JMETER 2.11.
Second, Jmeter cannot guess that the response if KO if the returned code is 200, so you need to add Response Assertion that will check for some text you expect in the page.
In one of my performance test scenario, user has to select one check box and then click on save button , I am able to record the scenario but unable to play. Steps are as follows:
Log in to the application
Go to Page 1 and click on any “Check box” and then click on save button.
For one user script was able to record but while running for multiple users I found that script is not checking the “Check box”. Does any body has any clue on this ?
Jmeter DOES NOT support Javascript.
As per Jmeter FAQ:
JMeter does not process Javascript or applets embedded in HTML pages.
. . . If the page uses Javascript to build up a URL or submit a form,
you can use the Proxy Recording facility to create the necessary
sampler. If this is not possible, then manual inspection of the code
may be needed to determine what the Javascript is doing.
JMeter is a tool for testing server code, not the client one. Both
recording and playback happens at the HTTP layer.
What you can do in your case is:
use any traffic inspector tool to record http request (upon "Save");
analyze request and its parameters sent;
setup request manually in jmeter.
Check/unchecking check box in your scenario doesn't generate any traffic itself BUT sets the value of request parameter sent along with further http request upon further "Save".
You have to set value of this param manually to the value which is equivalent to "checked" state of check box.
Jmeter does not recognise the elements written in javascript.
Try this:
Open Blazemeter
Go to advanced options
Select Cookies and Javascript Option under Request to Record
This solution worked for me.
