I'm using JMeter for integration and non-regression testing.
The tests are automated and reports are working.
But since it is scenario testing and not performance testing the report doesn't give real business added value for that kind of tests.
My question: Is there any way to have a scenario (transaction controller based)reporting?
For the moment, to have some more meaningful result, transactions controllers and dummy sampler are used.
What we would like to have is the number of success/failure scenarios of the last test run. And also an history of success/failures per test run (1 by day).
Thank you for your advices.
The easiest way of getting the things done is putting your JMeter test under Jenkins orchestration so it will be automatically executed based on a VCS hook or according to the Schedule
Once done you will be able to utilize Jenkins Performance Plugin which adds test results trends charts and ability to mark build as unstable/failed depending on various criteria.
If I am not wrong, you want to create a suite based on particular test cases. like if single case include execution of more than 1 request in a single execution.
If this is the case, you can simple create a test fragment through jmeter gui, and copy all the samplers in single fragment.
Now to control their execution you can use any controller of your choice, i would suggest you to use module controller for http samplers.

And then comes the API method I need that I'm testing. Here it needs to be run a number of times.
I read the documentation, but I still don't understand. Please help.
Put them under the Once Only Controller, its children are being executed only during the 1st iteration of the Thread Group
I also see a number of Listeners in your Test Plan, when you finish test development and debugging don't forget to remove them as they don't add any value and only consume resources, you should execute your JMeter test plan in command-line non-GUI mode with all listeners disabled or deleted and once it's finished you can use Listeners to analyze the .jtl results file (or just generate HTML Reporting Dashboard from it)
I am new to JMeter. I have created several test plans. Is it possible to combine different test plans in a single '.jmx' file so that the user can see all the different test plans in one console? Not only that, the user can pick and choose more than one test plans and run them? The test plans may not be collaborating with each other. Theyare completely isolated test plans. The idea is, the user can view and execute them from one console?
First of all, looking into Adding and Removing Elements chapter of Building a Test Plan article:
Adding elements to a test plan can be done by right-clicking on an element in the tree, and choosing a new element from the "add" list. Alternatively, elements can be loaded from file and added by choosing the "merge" or "open" option.
You can also store multiple .jmx scripts as Test Fragments and add them to the "main" script via Include Controller and/or Module Controller
Check out How to Manage Large JMeter Scripts With JMeter Test Fragments article for more information.
instead of maintaining multiple test plans .. i would suggest make multiple thread groups in one test plan so whoever going to use specific group then can enable and run ..
I am not sure you can add multiple test plans in one JMX file, as above comment says you can create multiple Thread groups in one test plan.
You can even create a test plan with JDBC request to test Data base and another test plan with Http request to API tests.
Add different headers and Listeners in each thread group as needed.
If you want aggregate report of all thread groups, you can listener by right clicking on Test Plan.
I am new to using JMeter and have developed a basic test plan with HTTP Sampler and a few listeners. Please run me through the entire process of how I can start after opening JMeter ?
There's no right answer for this, it depends what you're wanting to achieve. I'd suggest starting with the best practices: http://jmeter.apache.org/usermanual/best-practices.html
And also look at building a web test plan: http://jmeter.apache.org/usermanual/build-web-test-plan.html
I would look at the Graphs Generator listener - https://jmeter-plugins.org/wiki/GraphsGeneratorListener/ - use these graphs to make sure you're making the number of transactions that you would expect in your tests.
Basically - the documentation is your friend. I took time to read what each controller, listener and sampler was doing and decided how to implement these myself. There was some trial and error. JMeter is an easy tool to pick up and use but there's a LOT of depth to it.
In addition to Ali1874 answer, I would suggest looking into how to run JMeter tests using command line. You can find more information at http://jmeter.apache.org/usermanual/get-started.html#non_gui. With regards to reporting JMeter is able to produce nice HTML reports when using -e -o options http://jmeter.apache.org/usermanual/generating-dashboard.html#report_after_load_test.
Also, with regards to Jmeter test plans, in my previous company we used to parameterize number of threads required, servers and other elements. In general structure looked like the one at the example test plan.
We had different user defined variables elements for different environments for faster test tuning. Also, we used bzm – Weighted switch controller (https://github.com/Blazemeter/jmeter-bzm-plugins) to distribute load among endpoints by including HTTP requests from Test Fragment element so that we would not have to duplicate requests allowing to manage them more easily. You can check out full plan at here (https://github.com/gretard/testing/blob/master/00-jmeter/results/samplePlan.jmx). Please bear in mind that test plan uses bzm – Weighted switch controller plugin and jpgc - Standard Set plugin which you can install by using Plugins manager (https://jmeter-plugins.org/wiki/PluginsManager/).
Hope this will help.
I am new to Jmeter and trying to understand what all can be achieved using Jmeter. I want to perform endurance or soak testing of a application using Jmeter, i.e. I want to run a particular script for a particluar number of users for a period of 3 hours.
What all options are available to me and what is the best availablelistener to monitor the result?
Please help. Kindly add if I am missing anything that I should know before starting with soak testing?
For setting up the numbers of users and runtime of the test you use a Thread Group. Setting the runtime is done by checking the Scheduler check-box and specifying Duration.
Of the original listeners in JMeter I have found myself most oftenly just using the plain Summary Report. But JMeter Plugins gives additional listeners which may be better, it depends on what you want to measure. The JMeter Plugins also gives additional thread groups, where you can specify e.g. an increasing load over time.
Use a Thread Group to set up your number of users and the duration of your test (using the scheduler of the Thread Group).
Then add all the samplers and logic controllers you need to perform your testing.
Next, add a Summary Report listener to get an overview of your results (min/max/average and such), and add a View Result Tree listener to get an overview of EACH step your testplan is taking. This Tree listener is great to actually see what jmeter is doing, and to debug your tesplan.
BTW: if you add a HTTP Request Defaults object, you can set your URL and options in there, and don't need to add it to each and every sampler again. Especially works like a charm if you start using regexp extractors and such.
I'm using testcomplete Keyword test for a lot of UI test cases. Quite a lot of them has the same steps.
Is there any Macro functionality which can add multiple preset actions/checkpoints easily?
Sure, you can call another keyword test using the Run Keyword Test operation or a script function using the Run Script Routine operation. Both operations allow specifying parameters for a test. Also, you can use the Run Test operation to run any item that can be treated as a separate test (keyword or script test, network suite job or task, a load test).
Moreover, I think that you will find it useful the Data-Driven Testing functionality of TestComplete that allows running a test for every record in a specified data source. Find more information on this feature in the Data-Driven Testing help topic. Videos demonstrating data-driven approach can be found here and here.
