Loadrunner web_custom_request analog in jmeter - jmeter

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
More information: How to Convert LoadRunner Tests to JMeter

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
Correlation in JMeter

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.

Important - Jmeter -UI endpoint - response time deferring from developer tool response time

For performance testing testing Jmeter UI - endpoint - response time deferring from developer tool loading time
Ex Jmeter - endpoint response time is 615 Ms where in developer tool shows (Load: 13.30 s) Finish: 18.98 s
Note : Jmeter capturing 35 backend call/ Developer tool capturing 104 backend call
why jmeter couldn't capture all developer tool backend calls?
why jmeter couldn't capture all developer tool backend calls? do we have any solution for this issue
As per JMeter project main page:
JMeter is not a browser, it works at protocol level. As far as web-services and remote services are concerned, JMeter looks like a browser (or rather, multiple browsers); however JMeter does not perform all the actions supported by browsers. In particular, JMeter does not execute the Javascript found in HTML pages. Nor does it render the HTML pages as a browser does (it's possible to view the response as HTML etc., but the timings are not included in any samples, and only one sample in one thread is ever displayed at a time).
So apart from configuring JMeter to behave like a real browser when it comes to handling embedded resources, cookies, think times and so on you need to pay attention to the nature of the requests which are being called when you open the page in the browser.
If the request is created by JavaScript, i.e. it's an AJAX call JMeter won't make the request automatically when you open the page. However you can record it using JMeter's HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder and run after the main request. The cumulative response time can be measured using Transaction Controller
Check the Retrieve All Embeded Resources in Advanced tab of the http sampler and see what is the difference.
Times will be always slightly different between dev tools and Jmeter or between JMeter and other performance tools like Gatling for example.

How to record intellij execution into Jmeter

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

How integrate Selenium code in JMeter How this is achieve

I create a maven project using selenium web driver in eclipse to automate one web-based application. Here I also used TestNG and the programming language Java. Now I want to integrate this selenium project into JMeter and want to do performance testing so how can I achieve this?
Although it's possible to kick off a TestNG test programmatically from JMeter's JSR223 Sampler using the code like:
TestListenerAdapter tla = new TestListenerAdapter()
TestNG testng = new TestNG()
testng.setTestClasses(new Class[] { YourClassWithTests.class })
testng.addListener(tla)
testng.run()
I don't think you will get the results you're looking for.
The main limitations are:
In general it's not advised to use Selenium for performance testing
You won't get metrics and KPIs like number of concurrent users, connect time, response time, etc.
Test will be very resource intensive as one instance of browser requires 1 CPU core and a couple of gigabytes of RAM so the resource footprint will be immense.
So I would recommend converting your Selenium tests to "pure" JMeter, you can kick off JMeter's HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder and configure your Selenium tests to use JMeter as the proxy, this way JMeter will be able to intercept the relevant HTTP requests and create HTTP Request samplers which are lightweight comparing to the real browsers and this way you will get all the metrics.

Angular 4 performance & stress test

I am looking for a way to performance and stress test my SPA.
I prefer an open source(free) tool to do so.
I have searched quite a lot(https://www.blazemeter.com/blog/how-load-test-ajaxxhr-enabled-sites-jmeter) about the possibility to use Jmeter but i am still not sure if it is possible as this is an SPA and Jmeter works on the protocol level.
JMeter is not a browser as such it will not:
play URLs called through javascript.
report time taken in UI by javascript to display it
But the good news is that you can record all requests at HTTP protocol level,
all requests will be nested inside a Transaction Controller.
JMeter will play them sequentially and not in parallel.
So:
response time will be sum of Main + child requests response time
Load simulation will not be highly impacted as parallelism due to load testing will be simulated
There is also JMeter Webdriver Sampler that allows you to use a Real Browser
So by combining both approach you should be able to:
- Simulate load on your target application
- Have an idea of User Experience response times through JMeter Webdriver Sampler
You can install both plugins using JMeter-Plugins plugin manager plugin.
Note there is a 3rd party plugin that provides parallel execution if you want the parallel execution but I'm not sure it's needed:

Calling application javascript function

coSelectAll();
coUnSelectAll();
These function above are part of our application and when I run on chrome console it select and unselect a company structure. How can I call these functions from jmeter as I heard jmeter does not have access to DOM. I am a newbie so forgive me if this is a silly questions. What options are available in jmeter.
If these functions generate HTTP Requests you should be able to record and replay them using JMeter's HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder.
If these functions affect UI only (i.e. check some boxes or something like that) you won't be able to do test it using JMeter, as per JMeter project main page

In particular, JMeter does not execute the Javascript found in HTML pages.
Real browsers send HTTP Requests and render the response. JMeter can mimic sending any HTTP requests via HTTP Request samplers so from application under test perspective it won't be different from real user, but JavaScript is executed solely on client side so if it doesn't trigger any network activity - the server doesn't know anything about what is happening in the browser on client side.
If your test scenario assumes checking selection/deselection of company structure via invoking certain JavaScript functions consider switching to Selenium browser automation framework. Also be aware that there is a Selenium integration with JMeter via WebDriver Sampler.
