How can I load test web application that requires to sign a document using an electronic signature? Is it possible with JMeter?
In a web application there is a form, then data sent by the user in form create a document with is then signed using a qualified electronic signature
The generic answer is yes, from JMeter's perspective electronic signature is yet another HTTP Header so you will need to add HTTP Header Manager and configure it to send the relevant header containing the signature.
If you're lucky enough you will be able to record the call from the browser using JMeter's HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder and successfully replay it.
If not - it is still possible to generate the signature given you know the algorithm or have a relevant SDK allowing programmatic signature of the HTTP requests using JSR223 Test Elements.

I am implementing load testing in Jmeter for my web application which uses google oauth.
I have generated access token and refresh token and passed it to my HTTP request, but the request fails with an Invalid state parameter.
I checked various posts on passing a random string of 30 characters but the value is not being recognised.
I am not sure how to use the google API library for python to generate one as there is only snippet available in the official site and am quite unsure if that value will be recognised.
Any suggestions on how to achieve my usecase?
We are not telepathic enough to guess how exactly you "generated" the tokens and how they're "passed to your HTTP request"
My expectation is that you need to pass only one token: the "access" one "to your HTTP Request", refresh token can be exchanged for the new access token when the previous one expires. Passing 2 tokens doesn't make sense and may cause the problem you're facing.
As per the main page of JMeter project
The Apache JMeter™ application is open source software, a 100% pure Java application designed to load test functional behavior and measure performance. It was originally designed for testing Web Applications but has since expanded to other test functions.
hence you cannot use Python libraries directly in JMeter, either look for a Java library, I think this one is a good choice and use it from JSR223 Test Elements
If you still want (or have to) use Python - you can run Python scripts from JMeter using OS Process Sampler
I am using JMeter to test a web application.
I have an HTML stepper with forms that contain dropdowns and buttons (GET, POST requests)
I still cant understand how to test a specific event..
for example lets say I have to select a department from my dropdown and then to pop up a window with a list of subdepartments (checkboxes)..
Where shall I find the HTTPS request urls to use them in the JMeter samplers? From developer tools/Network ?
If selecting a dropdown triggers a HTTP request (i.e. it's some form of AJAX call) you can replicate it using HTTP Request sampler (and most probably HTTP Header Manager) so JMeter will send exactly the same request as the browser does (you might need to perform correlation of the dynamic values)
Basically all you need to do is to configure JMeter to produce the same network footprint as the real browser does so cross-check the request payload from the browser developer tools with what you see in JMeter's View Results Tree listener
Also be aware that it is possible to record the requests generated by browser using JMeter's HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder, see Recording Tests user manual chapter for more details.
I am trying to run performance test using Jmeter for my client application which uses Signicat, a third part identity verification site for SSO login. I cannot get through with jmeter execution for login. There is a dynamic token appended in one of the http requests related to login but I cannot find it in any of the previous responses to correlate.
Has anybody tried Performance tests with Signicat or any other SSO login ? I appreciate any suggestions or leads. Thank you.
PS: I tried to monitor the traffic in fiddler while accessing the site . I don't see the token source there as well.
Unfortunately your question doesn't contain sufficient level of details.
If you're seeing the dynamic token there are following possible options:
It needs to be correlated (extracted from the previous response), the possible sources are:
URL (as a part of a redirect)
response headers
response body
It needs to be generated, if the dynamic value is being generated by client-side JavaScript JMeter won't be able to execute the JavaScript, you will have to replicate the code using JSR223 PreProcessor and preferably Groovy as the language in order to generate the same value as the real browser does
Looking into Connecting your application chapter there are several possible protocols/options and it will require rather a story than a chapter to provide comprehensive instructions on each of them:
for some of them like "Other third party software" it is not even possible doing this remotely without knowing the infrastructure and the authentication/authorization processes.
How to conduct performance testing of my web service? The service displays a page, then the login form in the user's Personal account. It is necessary to enter and display the user's personal account. The service uses meteorjs. To display the personal account is necessary to emulate a browser. jmeter as I understand it is not suitable for this test. He(jmeter) is not able to emulate the browser can't request the js script on the client. Can you recommend tools for such testing? And how conduct ?
Thks
Well-behaved JMeter test can do whatever browser does (from protocol-level perspective). JMeter will not execute client-side JavaScript, neither it will render the response, however if JavaScript generates a HTTP request - JMeter can even record it using HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder (or you can manually create this request by adding relevant HTTP Request sampler)
So the options are:
If your request is ad-hoc (i.e. periodic or on-demand) you can use HTTP Request sampler to mimic it
If your request is asynchronous (AJAX) you can go for one of the techniques described in the How to Load Test AJAX/XHR Enabled Sites With JMeter article or use Parallel Controller plugin
And finally you can use JMeter for kicking off real browser instances using either WebDriver Sampler or JSR223 Sampler
One of the services I gonna test using Jmeter has complex authorization mechanism that requires some CS-based steps (JavaScript). So, to set up a session, I have to use WebDriver as Jmeter can't (and actually shouldn't) process JS.
I do it in the following way: at the beginning of each thread I open the resource in real browser (via Jmeter WebDriver plugin), complete authorization, store browser cookies that was set up by server and then use these cookies to generate load using standard Jmeter logic within defined HTTP-session.
This schema works fine and I successfully use it in different load tests.
But now the service I test requires not only cookies but also some important parameters that browser sends in POST as a part of authorization process. To prove that my requests belong to the same session, I should extract some sensitive parameters not from response (it can be easily done) but from request.
I can't find these values stored anywhere in DOM and it seems like these values are generated by JS attached to response page.
So, my question is: is there a way to capture parameters from request sent by WebDriver?
I understand that all requests done by browser initiated in Jmeter are not visible to it. And the only idea I see is to use Jmeter request recorder dynamically:
Open browser window.
Define Jmeter as a proxy for this browser.
Capture requests sent by browser in Jmeter using recorder.
Somehow extract sensitive data from requests.
Use the data to generate load.
Any ideas appreciated. Thanks in advance!
Solved the issue by running local proxy server (BrowserMob Proxy project) using BeanShell sampler. I retarget the WebDriver Sampler to this proxy, perform required actions using browser, then store captured data in HAR format and process it (extract required data from requests). Then just store valuable request parameters in variables (or properties) and use them in a regular way in HTTP sampler to generate load. Hope it can help anyone else in future.
