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

When I was recording my localhost Url through badboy it showed me some empty url links, What does it exactly means ?enter image description here
Export from Badboy cause some malformation in the requests data that needs to be corrected manually. Check number of request recorded by Badboy and request in jmeter.
There is no use or blank request and it should be removed.

Limitations
There are, unfortunately some limitations to Badboy's JMeter support.
These limitations exist because the features of JMeter and Badboy do
not exactly match each other and in some cases it is not possible to
export items directly.
The following limitations should be noted:
JScript cannot be exported. JMeter cannot run JScript because it does
not have an embedded browser window. JScript items will be ignored in
the script when you do your export.
Data sources are not exported.
JMeter has its own concept to replace Data Sources. When you export
your file, all of your variables will be created in JMeter as "User
Parameters". You can, if you wish, provide a file for JMeter to read
variable values from. Please read the JMeter help on the "HTTP User
Parameter Modifier" to see how to do this.
Increments are not
exported. JMeter does not use increments to modify variables. Rather,
variables are automatically modified by the iteration of a loop and
the presence of a User Parameter Modifier.
Navigations are not
exported. Navigations also rely on having a browser window present and
thus cannot be directly supported by JMeter. You can simulate them if
you wish by using Jmeter features.
Assertions are exported but may need adjustment.
Badboy will attempt to export Assertions to JMeter
but due to small differences in how JMeter and Badboy handle
Assertions it is possible that they will not always work the same way.
Badboy automatically scans for these problems and will alert you with
a message after export containing details about what may need to be
adjusted.
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.

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.
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?

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:
https://blog.flood.io/convert-har-files-to-jmeter-test-plans/
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.

Sorry if this has been answered already, i tried to search but could get the exact information i am after.
The issue:
I am using JMeter to run some tests on a web application, as part of one of the flow, I under a first and surname in 2 input fields and i have link (Get userid) on clicking on the link the system will generate a user name. The user name is made up of first 4 letters from surname and first letter from the firsname and number at the end example: firstname is Test and surname is Environment, on clicking the get user id link the username will be generated as 'envit1' if 'envit1' is already existing then it would generated 'envirt2'
How do I simulate the click which generates the userid using jMeter.
Apologies but I am fairly new with JMeter, please ask if you need more infomratmation.
Many thanks in advance, Kay
If you're new to JMeter the best way to get things done is recording your user ID generation steps using one of the following approaches:
JMeter bundled HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder which acts like a browser proxy
A Google Chrome Extension which is capable of recording JMeter .jmx scripts right from your browser.
You can see what requests are being sent and HTML responses using handy View Results Tree listener.
However if clicking on link isn't being recorded, it's being handled by client-side Javascript. JMeter is not a browser and isn't capable of executing Javascript so you'll have to use WebDriver Sampler as Releasematic suggests.
You can use WebDriver Sampler but in each iteration it opens browser which may increase RAM usage. There is another option is to generate user id by running JS code in "JSR223 Sampler". With JSR223 Sampler you can run JS code but can't get access to DOM, so such JS code won't work:
function () {document.getElementById("edit-buttons-cleanup").click();};
You can install the plugin pack for the JMeter WebDriver sampler. Then, using some Javascript commands, you can start either a Firefox or a headless HTMLUnit and operate upon a webpage in a Jmeter step.
