Does Jmeter 2.11 supports pdf editor's data capture?. Kindly anyone advice, how to record pdf data using jmeter 2.11 version. Because our application made up on java and its a web application.
The issue is,
Log in to the application
Click on user information link
The request will be opened in a pdf editor format, where we are updating user information.
Here is the issue, I can not record the pdf editor information. While recording, the pdf editor page is not even opened. I tried to disable my antivirus protection too.. :(
JMeter is designed to functionally test server-side components, whereas opening a PDF occurs on the client-side, albeit after the PDF has been transmitted over the wire to the end-user's browser.
As such, JMeter will only show you:
How long it took the server to process the request and begin serving up the response (PDF) to the browser/JMeter
How long it took to transmit the response (PDF) over the wire back to the browser/JMeter
If you're interested in physically manipulating items on the client-side, which also has the effect of thereby testing the server, check out http://docs.seleniumhq.org/

I have to do a performance test for application(It has UI) ,It has API requests ,how to find the browser rendering time for APIs , can we do it with retrieve embedded resource. I am quite new to this ,Can someone please guide me.
Not really, 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).
The only way to measure browser rendering time is using a real browser, if you want to do this along with the existing JMeter performance tests - go for WebDriver Sampler, it provides JMeter integration with Selenium browser automation framework so you will be able to kick off a real browser and measure its rendering time (response time of the WebDriver Sampler will be the time from opening the page till the rendering finishes.
If you need the breakdown - consider using Navigation Timing API
How to convert jmeter dashboard report to pdf
I'm unable to convert html report to pdf. plz suggest me the solution
C'mon, have you done at least basic research before asking? There are a lot of options, for example:
Print it to file, all modern browsers allow saving web content as PDF, check out How to save a webpage as a PDF
There are online solutions like https://html2pdf.com/
There are offline solutions like http://www.pdflite.com/html-to-pdf/
There is BM.Sense online results analysis service which allows saving load test report as PDF
I tried many ways none of it works for Jmeter HTML report, other way was to zip all the artifacts and send over email but, that zip files contains .js files which get blocked by Gmail Yahoo
I written small code in Selenium to take screenshot (used Ashot API) of HTML report and sending over mail as attachment. Challenge here is headless mode of browser takes improper screenshot, so if you are on windows this can be achieved but as PNG, till now nothing works for PDF.
I have a search form which would open a list when 2 characters are typed. I would like to measure that time it takes to open and load the list in jmeter. How can I do it?
If you look into your "Network" tab of your favourite browser developer tools you will see that each time you type a letter or digit in the search field the browser sends a HTTP request to the backend server and it responds with search suggestions:
So all you need to do is to simulate these requests using JMeter and measure the response time.
You can even record these requests using HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder, Badboy, JMeter Chrome Extension, whatever
There are two things, I would like to quote:
JMeter is not a browser
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).
From JMeter Wiki
JMeter does not process Javascript or applets embedded in HTML pages.
JMeter can download the relevant resources (some embedded resources
are downloaded automatically if the correct options are set), but it
does not process the HTML and execute any Javascript functions.
If the page uses Javascript to build up a URL or submit a form, you
can use the Proxy Recording facility to create the necessary sampler.
If this is not possible, then manual inspection of the code may be
needed to determine what the Javascript is doing.
Solution #1
Whenever you type each character, check any service call to the server. This can be captured using browser developer tools > Network tab.
E.g.
If you type iPhone, there will be six service calls to the server. By measuring each call individually, you will be able to understand, how your application behaves under the load.
Again this is a service call, not the UI rendering.
https://example.com?q=i
https://example.com?q=iP
https://example.com?q=iPh
https://example.com?q=iPho
https://example.com?q=iPhon
https://example.com?q=iPhone
Solution #2
By leveraging Selenium WebDriver in your JMeter Test plan, you can measure the end-to-end response time.
Please refer this Blazemeter article and this blog for more details.
Visit JMeter Plugins website and search for Selenium to read more details about Selenium WebDriver.
I have a aspx webpage which is integrated with SSRS reports.I want to perform a performance test using Jmeter,I used the Jmeter HTTP(S) script recorder for the same.
It was seen that the response data captured by Jmeter returns error message stating as below
Report Viewer Configuration Error
The Report Viewer Web Control HTTP Handler has not been registered in the application's web.config file. Add to the system.web/httpHandlers section of the web.config file, or add to the system.webServer/handlers section for Internet Information Services 7 or later.
and will not the show the report data as the response though the POST was successfull.
In the above context the jmeter test is intended to test the response time of reports.
Could anyone please help me on this.
Thanks in Advance,
Theju
When it comes to modern web applications, record and replay may not work as there could be some dynamic parameters responsible for preserving and controlling values or protecting from CSRF attacks so you will need to build you test as follows:
Open 1st page
Detect all dynamic parameters and convert them into JMeter Variables
Open 2nd page providing dynamic parameters extracted in the previous step
The process is known as correlation and you can find a plenty of articles by searching "JMeter correlation" over the web.
Check out ASP.NET Login Testing with JMeter guide for real-life example related to ASP web apps.
I am trying to generate a log of page load times (time from first byte of HTML to the onload event) from my actual browsing habits. An ideal solution would produce, after performing a google search for example, a log something like this:
http://google.com/ 523
https://www.google.com/search?q=asdf 1003
Where the pages took 523ms and 1003 to load.
A firefox or chrome extension that works on linux or mac would be ideal, as I'm trying to track in the context of normal everyday browsing.
If you install the NetExport Firebug extension, it will allow you to export all collected and computed data from the Firebug Net panel as a HTTP Archive (HAR) format file (based on JSON).
You can then view this file that includes load times using HAR Viewer or other tools.
Gavin,
Try using the FireBug Plugin in FireFox. http://getfirebug.com/
It shows you when the file started and stopped loading relative to all the other files.
Worth checking out.

You need Fiddler. http://www.fiddlertool.com
Another great tool which does what you requested in the comments is dynatrace ajax. http://ajax.dynatrace.com/ajax/en/ It hooks into the browser and keeps metrics on actual render and js times. http://ejohn.org/blog/deep-tracing-of-internet-explorer/
