Exporting fiddler session as .jmx for JMeter test plan - jmeter

Has there any option(s) / work around to export fiddler trace files as .jmx files to be imported into JMeter?

Have a look at this:
http://www.perftesting.co.uk/creating-jmeter-test-plans-with-fiddler/2013/03/01/
Another option is to use HAR format (chrome or firefox+firebug+plugin) and use this:

Edit on 25 october 2020:
Since version 5.3 of JMeter, you can use menu Tools > Import from cURL which will allow you to import in JMeter a session exported as a set of cURL commands
See:
https://jmeter.apache.org/usermanual/curl.html#hints

Blazemeter have a free tool where you can convert exported HAR files from fiddler and save them as jmx files.
Worked very good for me.

I've created an extension which can transform HTTP request to any other text format as long as you can create a simple Mustache template for it. Recently I created a template to convert Fiddler Http request to JMeter project i.e. JMX file. It's a basic template but you can customize as per your needs.

Multipart/related API request using JMeter

How to copy a pdf file content into a variable and then upload it as a multipart/related API request using JMeter??
In order to read the file inline or save it into a JMeter Variable people normally use __FileToString() function however it might not work for PDF files because they're binary so you might want to additionally convert it into Base64, the __base64Encode() can be found in Custom JMeter Functions bundle which in its turn can be installed using JMeter Plugins Manager
In general I would suggest recording your file upload request using JMeter's HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder, just remember to copy the PDF file you will be uploading to "bin" folder of your JMeter installation otherwise JMeter will fail to capture the request properly.

Performance - how to capture all the Request in the Network tab of chrome in an automated way

I am in a process to capture all the request when an HTML page is loaded. My end goal is to create a report with the time taken for each individual request and also for the total time taken to load the entire page. I have tried to use the performance.getEntries() but it is limited to store only 150 request in the buffer. To overcome this I tried to set the performance.setResourceTimingBufferSize(size) but this buffer size is reset to default 150 when i refresh the page.
I would like to know the solution for below few things,
how to set the performance.setResourceTimingBufferSize(size) before loading any page (if I set it when the page is loading it misses to capture some of the request). Few suggested to set this in HTML head tag, but this is not possible in my case because i need to use selenium and i cant modify anything in source file.
I also found that we can save all the request as HAR file in chrome console. is there any way to do it in automated way?
Is there any other way to capture all the request ?
PS: I a using Jmeter (to simulate multiple users) to run the selenium scripts using web driver sampler. The automated way in the sense it should be done using selenium.
You can use BrowserMob proxy in order to create and start a proxy server which will capture data and save it in form of .har
Download BrowserMob proxy and put .jar files somewhere into JMeter Classpath
Restart JMeter to pick the .jars put
In setUp Thread Group add JSR223 Sampler and put the following code into "Script" area
import net.lightbody.bmp.BrowserMobProxy
import net.lightbody.bmp.BrowserMobProxyServer
import net.lightbody.bmp.proxy.CaptureType
def proxy = new BrowserMobProxyServer()
def captureTypes = new HashSet<>();
captureTypes.addAll(CaptureType.getAllContentCaptureTypes());
captureTypes.addAll(CaptureType.getHeaderCaptureTypes());
captureTypes.addAll(CaptureType.getCookieCaptureTypes());
proxy.setHarCaptureTypes(captureTypes);
proxy.start(8080)
proxy.newHar()
props.put('proxy', proxy)
Set up your Chrome Driver Config to use proxy from the step 3
Add tearDown Thread Group to your Test Plan and in another JSR223 Sampler use the following code to store requests made by the WebDriver Sampler(s) into a .har file:
def proxy = props.get('proxy')
proxy.getHar().writeTo(new File('some.har'))
proxy.stop()
That's it, now you should have .har file generated during test execution.

BrowserMob Proxy: Embedded Mode
Apache Groovy - Why and How You Should Use It
For your goal, you can try https://gtmetrix.com/. This will give you a report for the load time and all the requests in waterfall model like in browser. Moreover, you can download the full report in pdf and can do compare and retest.
There you can also download the HAR file.
Though, it is not related to selenium but may fit your goal and It can be automated.

JMeter: url encoded embedded resources

I'm setting up some tests with JMeter, and I've seen that it's throwing out an error where trying to download embedded resources inside a web page, that have a path like the following:
www.mydomain.com/resources?getItem={someID}
The problem is that the characters need to be URL-encoded, so the following URL should follow this pattern:
www.mydomain.com/resources?getItem=%7BsomeID%7D
Now, how could instruct JMeter to replace these characters, when found on URLs from embedded resources in the web page? I've been looking at BeanShell PreProcessors, but I'm not sure how's the best way to handle this scenario.
Thanks!
You are facing this bug:
https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=58137
Until bug is fixed, your option is to disable embedded download and use :
CSS/ JQuery Post Processor to extract URLs
Use ForEach Controller to iterate over urls
This will only simulate serial download not parallel one.
Update 15th july 2015:
Bug has been fixed yesterday night, you can give nightly build a try:
http://jmeter.apache.org/nightly.html
Read:
Installing JMeter runtime
Download the _bin and _lib files
Unpack the archives into the same directory structure
The other archives are not needed to run JMeter.
What about this built in Jmeter function?

How to import webservices in Jmeter

I'm trying to import the webservices that are in the WSDL into Jmeter using SOAP/XML-RPC request. But I didn't see anything with the 'Import' or LoadWSDL option. I saw this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IsmrHK6FPjA which has the webservice(SOAP) request which I cant see it in my Jmeter version.
The reason I'm asking is because in each SOAP/XML-RPC Data, I've to open SOAPUI to get blank request and then paste it in the Jmter. We have hundreds of webservices to test and this method is getting very lengthy process.
Is there a way in Jmeter to create blank requests like SOAP UI if I give the wsdl URL and it generates all possible requests for us. Thanks in advance.
There is no such import feature in JMeter.
But a way to do it is to put JMeter as a proxy for SOAP UI using HTTP Test Script Recorder, then you would avoid Copy/paste thing.
Read also this for up to date way of testing webservices:
http://jmeter.apache.org/usermanual/build-ws-test-plan.html
As per the jmeter latest version help WebService(SOAP) Request sampler is DEPRECATED. This sampler is having load WSDL option. Try older version of jmeter..

How to use exported script from Badboy in jmeter?

Recorded my case in Badboy and exported to jmeter which is saved in desktop. Now how to use this script in jmeter ?
Run JMETER_HOME/bin/jmeter.bat and use File> Open the JMX script recorded via Badboy.
It works!
Like joseK said, you just have to open it via your File/Open Menu in jmeter ...
Or you mean that you've opend it and its not working, in that case you might have some change to do in your exported jmeter test.
Here some problem I got using badboy :
on our apps, badboy seem to add get request that didn't work at all, We had to remove them manually in order to fix the problem.
And if you have a token or session id that you need to extract from your cookies or http response, it's doesn't take care of it for you so you got to figure out how to extract them with a reg-ex extrator and put in a variable that your test will use.
See this link - could be a compatibility problem, if you are running jmeter 2.4 (badboy exports do not work with 2.4 yet). You might have to download 2.3.4 in order to convert the badboy script into a version compatible with 2.4
