I tried to write manual scripts in JMETER.
How the parameters to pass for button click from HTTP Request?
While I inspect the button, I am getting.. class, button name.
Normally when you click HTML Button it should trigger submission of HTML Form so inspect the associated form to see the relevant URL, method and parameters.
However I believe that recording your test using JMeter's HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder is much faster and easier way of generating necessary HTTP Request samplers.
You can also consider an alternative way of recording JMeter tests which is capable of exporting recorded scenarios in "SmartJMX" mode performing automatic detection and correlation of dynamic parameters so you will be even just record and replay without taking extra steps manually, check out How to Cut Your JMeter Scripting Time by 80% article for details.

I have been working on this project and I can't get the response that I needed for assertion because the response body in Jmeter only says "Your browser does not support framing. Please update your browser", but Im using the latest version of Firefox (image 2). I also manually execute the request in the real browser, same as what browser Im using in Jmeter, and didn't encounter the said message. Can someone please tell me whats going on? Thank you for your help
Response Body
HTTP header Manager
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).
Most probably the value you're looking for lives inside an iframe is being loaded using some JavaScript function which is not being kicked off by JMeter as it doesn't evaluate JavaScript.
So you need to invoke the relevant request manually using another HTTP Request sampler which would load the required page. You can figure out the necessary request URL by looking into page source using your favorite browser developer tools or by recording your test scenario using JMeter's HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder.
Also be aware that due to asynchronous nature of JavaScript calls it is better to wrap it (and other JavaScript calls, if any, in Parallel Controller
You can install Parallel Controller and Sampler via JMeter Plugins Manager
Scenario:
in response to api request we get a html page as response, we need to accomplish the page with details and need to 'submit' that.
In JMeter:
-- I am able the to save response as a page to html
-- Need to submit page with one textField, one dropdown value
Is there possibility, that we can automate these with JMeter?
Thank you.
I tried my best, can any one please help on this.
Just record your test scenario using JMeter's HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder, it is capable of capturing both GET and POST requests and converting them into corresponding HTTP Request samplers.
Alternative options of recording JMeter tests are JMeter Chrome Extension and Badboy.
If it misunderstood your query and you are asking about the ways of automatically detecting and submitting forms using random dropdown or radiobuttons values in JMeter test you can take a look at HTML Link Parser
'Top' button is not functioning/doesn't function with Jmeter recording however the same button works fine without Jmeter recording (works fine with normal internet proxy). We have two buttons 'Load More' and 'top', 'Load more' able to load the page with other results but when clicked on 'top' nothing happens whereas it is working fine in normal browser.
Please suggest if i need to set something. I have even tried by including URL pattern as .*
JMeter is not a browser. It will not capture the client-side activities. To capture the performance metrics of client-side you can use below options:
JMeter WebDriver Sampler
JSR223 Sampler
You can develop your own custom sampler
Check this article in Blazemeter for more details.
I always use Blazemeter Chrome Add-on which is a hassle-free way to record business scenarios.
In my script i have multiple checkboxes,upon selecting which it populate values(like in first group -- Phone,tablets and in other group it --mac,android).I know that jmeter does not support javascript.If i want to automate it in my script that it selects random checkbox during execution.How can i do that?
There are two ways webpages handle dynamic data population.
Pre-caching
All the needed data is fetched from the server during the initial page load, and as the user makes selections, checkboxes or drop-down boxes or tags etc, the data is filtered on the client end and presented to the user. All of this happens through JavaScript execution on the front end and there is no server interaction. If you used JMeter proxy to record the page load, the pre-load should already be included in your test.
In the traditional JMeter testing sense, the subsequent UI interactions cannot be tested with JMeter - as there are no server interactions to simulate. However you can use the web-driver plugin to simulate and measure UI interactions if you so desire, with certain performance caveats as noted on the plugin webpage.
Lazy Loading
Only a minimal amount of data is fetched during page load, and when the user makes a selection a HTTP call (usually a XHR call) is made to fetch additional relevant data from the server. You can use JMeter proxy, fiddler, wireshark or any other HTTP inspection tools to capture the information in this call and convert it to a JMeter HTTP sampler.
The HTTP request url or body should contain parameters indicating what selection the user made in the UI, You need to parametrize/randomize this value to simulate random checkbox selections.
My application is developed in .NET, When i Record with Jmeter, Application is not displaying a popup after click Submit button on the page. it is recording all the other action. But after click a popup window is expecting which is not displaying
Step 1. Login application
Step 2. Input some data and click on Submit
Step 3. A popup should display which is not comming while record
Thanks
JMeter's HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder is very good, but in some cases it behaves odd.
Consider the following alternative methods of recording a scenario:
Use JMeter Google Chrome Extension - no proxies, no SSL certificates, no extra configuration.
Use Badboy recording functionality - Badboy has an option to export recorded script into a JMeter .jmx file
Use external proxy like Fiddler or Wireshark in combination with online network dumps to JMeter scripts converter
