How to resolve the below error in jmeter
1.) Request to open Google.com
2.)
P.S: I have just started learning jmeter.
Which is the best way to learn it, please advice.
The easiest way of creating a JMeter test is just recording it. JMeter comes with HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder which can be used for building a test plan skeleton via capturing browser requests, check out Apache JMeter proxy Step-by-step for more information.
I would recommend attending JMeter Academy, this way you will be able to quickly ramp-up in JMeter in particular and performance testing in general. Performance Testing Guidance for Web Applications book is also very useful
for performance testing greenhorns.
In regards to the possible error, I cannot see the details, just a blind shot: are you behind a corporate proxy/firewall? If yes, you will need to "tell" JMeter the details of this proxy so it could access the Internet (same applies to "recording" approach of tests creation), see Using JMeter behind a proxy chapter for the relevant JMeter configuration.
JMeter is not a browser
See first page of Jmeter
JMeter does not execute the Javascript found in HTML pages. Nor does
it render the HTML pages as a browser does

I am using Jmeter for performance and load testing. For recording, the Jmeter has HTTP proxy and outside Jmeter there have some third party tools like Badboy Software, Blazemeter etc.. Which should I choose for better?
Every tool have some plus and some minus. So, it depends.
Based on maturity, functionalities provided and easy of use:-
Blazemeter
BadBoy
Postman
You may required them, if you find issue with HTTP recording else jmeter recording is sufficient.
Hope this helps.
I am using JMeter for API Testing. Using HTTP Request and Beanshell I am able to achieve this.
There are times where the Services are down for a weeks time.
Since I the have the Request and Response with me, I would like to implement Service Virtualization using JMeter.
Even when the Services are down, I should be able to continue my testing.
Can I achieve Service Virtualization in JMeter? If yes, can I request you to let me know the steps please.
No you can't.
I suggest you check out API simulation tools which will allow you to do service virtualization. You can then use JMeter to run your tests and an API simulation tool to mock the dependencies.
JMeter doesn't do Service Virtualization, but you can use JMeter in recording, see article:
You can import the incoming traffic to JMeter using tcpreplay and
JMeter Proxy. Run a test suite in your performance environment using
JMeter and use the virtual services to decouple yourself from other
dependencies. Just to be safe, repeat the recording process every
week. This could prove to be very easy or very difficult to implement
depending on the specifics of the system you are working with.
Is it possible to extend Jmeter http script test recorder?
Would like to edit recorded requests automatically instead of doing it manually.
JMeter is an open source software distributed under Apache License 2.0 so you can add whatever functionality you need.
JMeter source code is available via Git and SVN repositories and you can find the official manual on extending JMeter at How to Write a plugin for JMeter
If you'll create something very useful for others I believe it would be a good idea to contribute it back, send a message to Apache JMeter Developer for further instructions on how you can add your code to JMeter.
If your idea of "automatic editing" is about adding missing automated correlation and you need the functionality right away you can consider and alternative recording service instead of JMeter's built-in proxy, check out How to Cut Your JMeter Scripting Time by 80% guide for details.
Of course it is possible. Look at this one
I am working on a project where the core application needs a harness to send messages which will process the message and feed to a portal web application. I am writing the automated testing for the portal application using cucumber/ruby/capybara.
I have never used Jmeter but through a colleague i just understand the basics of the Jmeter GUI tool. I have been asked me to use Jmeter as harness tool so that I can later extend the functionality to do performance testing as well. How can I do this ? How can i use Jmeter in my automated scripts using cucumber/ruby/selenium or capybara to do my testing ?
I dont want to use GUI as the whole test case should be automated end to end, I have to figure out a way to integrate Jmeter functionality to do test data set up and then run my browser test to check whether the data exists.
i hope my question is clear, ask me if you are not. Hoping to get a solution as i dont think it is a uncommon question.
Note: i have seen the ruby-jmeter gem, i think it does partly what i need but it is actually a DSL to use jmeter in ruby.the problem with that is I have to stick the syntax of gem and have to figure all the options in gem. I have also read a blog that this can be done using Jmeter recording proxy and running the browser tests at the proxy which I am not sure how to do that. here is the link where this is mentioned:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/cukes/4ZGkf3a234Y
As per my understanding of the problem, please go through the below links
for recording the script using Jmeter:
http://jmeter.apache.org/usermanual/jmeter_proxy_step_by_step.pdf
for integrating selenium in Jmeter:
There are actually 2 ways of achieving this:
exporting all your selenium scripts as *.jar and copying it to /junit folder under /lib folder of Jmeter.
Use JUnit Sampler to execute your test cases:
http://intensetesting.wordpress.com/2013/09/25/integrating-jmeter-with-selenium-code/
use WebDeriver plugin for Jmeter and write your selenium test cases in Jmeter:
http://jmeter-plugins.org/wiki/WebDriverTutorial/
Also you can run Jmeter via command line.
Is it possible to record JMeter scripts for performance testing Siebel?
Siebel uses a custom format for ENCODING its requests plus some necessary technical parameters.
So it's possible provided it's the http module but rather hard job as there are a lot of correlations to do on technical IDs.
For recording, see this:
JMeter record Siebel CRM System
You can use this commercial plugin that will do auto-correlation for you:
https://ubikloadpack.com/
Yes, it is possible to test Siebel with JMeter. I have done so for one of my projects with my client TataSky where I have used JMeters distributed testing approach for generating upto 2000 users with 4 - 5 normal desktops. Siebel uses http protocol so it is finally about understanding the requests sent by browser and responses by the web-server and correlating between them. It gets really messy though, so my suggestion is correlate parameters which are mandatory.
You can use JMeter-Siebel-plugin which provides Siebel HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder test element handy for capturing and correlating Siebel traffic.
The plugin can be installed using JMeter Plugins Manager
Check out Introducing the Siebel CRM Correlation Plugin in JMeter article for comprehensive instructions.
