When I record a script in jmeter, it's recording data in encoded format. Something link below in the body data:
0D0B0#0>0<0 + #Fzñæ²Ó º ~~Y7H$ÄÃóüÓF4»ÎF |[óâËYù
If I tried to click on parameters since it is login data I want to parametrize, after clicking on parameters it says you cannot switch because data cannot be converted.
When I record script for the first time, requests are sent to the web server but when replaying nothing goes to the web server. I want to run with 200 threads on jmeter but facing above issues. Could any one throw some light on this please.

i have a web application which has confirmation pop up to save a record . i have used post on the HTTP request sampler and used parameter body , but still the record is not getting saved in the web application using jmeter . i have to click save then yes on the confirmation pop up
JMeter doesn't actually perform "clicks", it sends HTTP Requests, in your case this "popup" seems to be used for populating the USER_COMMENT section:
with regards to "record is not getting saved in the web application" - it indicates that your script fails somewhere somehow, you should inspect response details using View Results Tree listener, it might be the case the application will tell you what's wrong with your request.
The most common reasons are:
Your login request fails hence all subsequent requests are landing at the login page. JMeter automatically treats HTTP status codes below 400 as successful therefore you can see them as "green" or false-positive so check that all previous responses return expected data using the aforementioned View Results Tree listener
The request may fail due to missing or improperly implemented correlation, i.e. you're updating the record which was created during recording instead of adding a new one
I'm new to using Jmeter tool.
I have recorded my application using blazemeter (v3.1) and then trying to run that .jmx file in Jmeter, however I am running into an authorization issue and the script fails to run.
I have also tried setting my "HTTP Authorization Manager" with username, url, password but it does not help. If anyone can, please guide me on this Issue. Thanks.
As per 4 Things You Should Never Do with Your JMeter Script article:
Don’t run the script exactly as you recorded it
After recording your script, there is still some work to do before you run it. It’s necessary to correlate variables, parameterize and add elements, to faithfully simulate users.
There are too many ways of possible authentication implementation in your application, most probably you need to send some dynamic value along with credentials which can be fetched from the previous request.
Record your test scenario 2 times and compare recorded requests. Be careful as differences might be in response headers and URL, not only in response data. It makes sense to add View Results Tree listener directly to HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder - this way you will be able to see what data is captured by JMeter and amend its configuration so simulated request would look exactly like the request from the real browser.
I am currently working on making a JMeter test for my company's website. I've been using the BlazeMeter Chrome extension to record http requests because I haven't been able to get the certificate working for the JMeter 2.11 proxy server.
On one of the site's main pages there is a large table that is filled by what I believe is an AJAX call. I use the extension to record using the page and add the recorded http requests to my test. However, when I run the test with those requests, none of the requests get responses that are anywhere near long enough to fill the table.
I made sure that the BlazeMeter extension is not just recording high-level requests, and that the cache is disabled. I know that the data is not sent with the initial html page because I can see that the table element is initially empty. Does the BlazeMeter extension not record every request? Or am I wrong to assume that the table is filled by and AJAX call? Or is there another protocol I'm missing entirely?
I'd start by analyzing the actual HTTP requests themselves. At the end of the day ANY performance tool you use to record browser activity is only going to record and playback the requests.
Is there an actual request that you can see your browser making that is not being recorded by the BlazeMeter chrome plugin?
I need to create scenario for user interaction with single-page WEB application. The application does lots of AJAX calls in order to authenticate user and get user data.
So I created simple scenario with HTTP Test Script Recorder and tried to record my script.
Everything went well, however I noticed that whilst request data is recorder properly, the response data is not recorder at all. I tried to enable Add assertions and Regex matching - but that didn't work as well.
Can you please advice how do I record response texts as well?
View Results Tree under proxy will record request, responses during recording.
This is useful to understand where a dynamic field comes from. This will help your find from which response X you need to extract data to inject in request X+N.
I think you may find this option useful to add in user.properties:
proxy.number.requests=true
This will give a number to each request and corresponding sampler so you will be able to find response for the request.
Once you have done this, you will start adding Post Processors (Regex, CSS/JQuery, XPAth ...) to Sampler X to extract data from its response.
This will create variables you can then use as ${varName} in request X+N.
I made load test on my web application with JMeter using HTTP Proxy. In HTTP Request I insert some data which I want to change. After load test when I go to the web page the page was without changes and I get all results(graph and table). Is that test real or not? Because was without page (data) changes?
Use the "tree view" LISTENER to see what request you sent to your web application. That will tell you if Jmeter was sending the new data, or just sending what you recorded. If Jmeter sent new data, then your application probably has a problem. If Jmeter sent the old recorded data, then you need to update your script by going to the request and changing the parameters.
