I recorded using a proxy server and cannot see the pop up got recorded. My pop is a Confirm popup so I cannot use HTTP Authorization manager. I have to click on OK on this pop up to get to next page. What do I use for this kind of pop up?
Thank you
When you click on OK, Does the page get submitted to server?
JMeter will record all the HTTP requests. Jmeter does not execute javascript as the browser does. So, The popup/alert you got, might have been triggered by a Javascript just for some confirmation which JMeter can not record. If the user action on the pop up had triggered any HTTP request, JMeter would have recorded the HTTP request to go the next page!.

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
Here i have two questions regarding capturing the cookies through JMeter. I am using JMeter recording to capture the web browser flow . And i have added Cookies Manager under the Test plan (common for all requests) Below is my flow :
launch >select Providers >sign-In
While recording it is capturing the cookies properly . i am able to see in the "Request Data" in "View Results Tree" . But while trying to replay i am not seeing the cookies in the results.
Please let me know if i am missing some settings here.
How this will work when we increase the no of users and run.
Thanks In Advance.
JMeter doesn't record cookies, if you add HTTP Cookie Manager to your Test Plan it will automatically extract the cookies from the application's Set-Cookie response header, parse them, validate and send with Cookie header during the next request.
If you cannot see any cookies the reasons could be in:
Cookies are invalid (i.e. expired, not matching the domain/path)
Your test fails somewhere somehow, i.e. your sign-in request fails because you haven't implemented correlation of the dynamic parameters
Inspect response details using "Response Data" tab of the View Results Tree listener and ensure that your test is doing what it is supposed to be doing as it looks like it doesn't go further than first page in your case
I am trying to do a load test using JMeter for the first Time.
My approach is to test each page one by one.
The main page is like http://localhost:8180/myapp/login.do?actionType=login(I hardcoded the credentials)
I am able to reach this page without any problem.
I created a HTTP request component and able to see the response without any issue.
In the main page there is a button which populates the report, in the browser , the url is like
http://localhost:8180/myapp/mainmenu.do
But when i create a HTTP request it is reaching but shows the security error page in the 'Response
Data' as Due to security reasons, we still recommend you to close this window.
can someone guide me how to test the other pages without these security errors. This is a struts2 Web application.
No matter what technology is being used under the hood of the web application you're testing you should stick to one simple rule:
Well-behaved JMeter test must send exactly the same requests as real browser
It includes:
Same number/sequence/nature of the HTTP Requests
Same HTTP Headers (including Cookies)
any dynamic values need to be properly correlated
Once JMeter will send the same requests as real browser does it should receive the same responses. So just use a 3rd-party sniffer tool like Fiddler or Wireshark to capture the requests originating from browser and JMeter and amend JMeter's configuration until the requests start looking exactly the same. This should resolve your issue.
Solved the issue by adding HTTP Cookie Manger and
set Cookie Policy as Standard
click HTTP Cookie Manager
and click save icon on the top.

Thanks #Dimitri T and #Roman C for their valuable suggestion.
How can I send HTTP request to click button on the page with JMeter. For example button on the page is
<button type="button" id="StartButton" onclick="CreateConversation()">Start chat</button>
HTTP request does not interact with page elements. It sends out HTTP requests to server. You can use it to send the HTTP request that would occur if your button is clicked.
If you're interested in interacting with UI elements, look into the jmeter-webdriver plugin.
Webdriver is very heavy though. Unless you absolutely need to interact with your page elements, it is a better idea to stick with HTTP Request. You can capture the HTTP request generated by the button click using jmeter's recording proxy. See here.
Please can some one explain me how to use Fire-bug add-on to check about whether Ajax request successfully send from our application ???
When you turn on Firebug, there's tab called 'Network' - there are shown all requests, especially ajax. The network tab allows you to filter requests and check request/response headers, status code, and message.
So, if you turn on Firebug and open Network tab (it's possible you'll have to enable tracking first, in that case it will show appropriate message), you will see if there was a request, where you expected it should be.
To see only ajax requests, check XHR on top bar, just under general tabs.
It will display in 'console' tab in firebug. i show you ajax call and request. it show ajax request like if ajax is successful then is gives 200 request and display the data or if the ajax request if fails is gives you a 301 request or some other request.
