I'm trying to use jmeter to simulate 500 usernames/passwords being created on a test site I have. The home page has 3 fields, username,email address, and password. How can I get jmeter to auto-fill those fields?
The next question is can jmeter then go to the next page and fill in credit information for example?
One thing to note here is JMeter is not like QTP / Selenium. It is not a pure functional testing tool.
However, It can be used for functional testing when you know how to use it!
For your question,
Record the http requests for creating the user and entering the credit information. Check this for more information. http://jmeter.apache.org/usermanual/jmeter_proxy_step_by_step.pdf
Then update the recorded scripts to parameterize the username, password email etc
Then you can update the loop count to rerun it again and again to create the data you want to create
JMeter is an excellent tool for performance testing, functional testing and for creating test data etc.
JMeter has possibility to use either external pre-defined data or generate some random values.
To use existing username/password/email combinations there are following options:
CSV Data Set Config- to read information from CSV files
JDBC PreProcessor - to fetch information from any database which supports JDBC protocol
StringFromFile - to read a string from file
CSVRead - similar to CSV Data Set Config
RandomString - to generate a random string
In regards to "go to the next page", it is also possible given that you have a HTTP Cookie Manager
Remember that JMeter acts on protocol level so you'll need to properly construct HTTP Requests.
The best way to trace execution and visualize requests/responses is using View Results Tree listener.

how you doing?
I'm trying to download a excel file from a web site (Specifically DataCamp) in order to use its data into an automatic process, but before to get the file is necessary to sign in on the page. I was thinking that this would be possible with the JSON Query on the HTTP action, but to be honest I don't know where to start (I'm new on Azure).
The process that I need to emulate to get the file extraction would be as follow (I know this could be possible with an API or RPA but I don't have any available for now):
Could you tell me guys some advices (how to get the desired result or at least where to make research)? is this even posibile?
Best regards.
If you don't have other ways, e.g. your source is on an SFTP, etc. than using an HTTP Action should work, pass the BODY to your next action (e.g. you might want to persist that on a BLOB if content is binary).
If your content is "readable", e.g. JSON, CSV and want to load for processing, you need to ensure, for large files, that you read it in Chunks to load it completely before processing.

I have a request body in ReadyAPI project. I have different data for a particular field in Request Body. Is there a way how I can loop the request with different data each time?
the goal is to have a file where 100's of different data responses are saved.
I have explained my requirement in a diagram please refer to it for better understanding
Yep, this is a data-driven test. If you have a licensed version of SoapUI, then this is standard functionality.
If you don't then there are custom solutions built by users. Search for "soapui data driven test' on here.
I want to stress test JSF application (using Primefaces) with Jmeter and I'm facing a strange problem.
Said application saves some textual field and one image field. The workflow of application is that, on image upload control (primefaces) image is stored in session and on save button click application saves textual data as well as image data (from session).
Now the problem is this: I made two post request - one with image data and 2nd with textual data - but the page can't simulate saving.
Is there any way to simulate the process in jmeter?
Given you send the same requests as browser does you should be able to replicate the browser behaviour, just make sure to:
Properly build HTTP Request sampler(s)
Pay attention to HTTP Headers
Correlate dynamic parameters like JSF ViewState
With regards to point 1 it should be sufficient to just record the requests using JMeter's HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder, just make sure to copy the file(s) you're uploading to the "bin" folder of your JMeter installation, this way JMeter will be able to properly capture the requests. See Recording File Uploads with JMeter article for more details.
Points 2 and 3 - cross check the requests which are being sent from browser using browser developer tools and JMeter's View Results Tree listener - the requests need to be exactly the same apart from dynamic parameters which need to be correlated
And don't forget to add HTTP Cookie Manager to your Test Plan, it should deal with JSESSIONID and other cookies
I created in Jmeter a Test Plan that looks like that:
the idea is to keep track of all the APIs the browser access between two pages. So, I open the localhost:63948/Home/LoginEmailSenha and I go until the other page I want. Under the Recording Controller label I get the list of the APIs.
But what can I do so that it feels like there isn't only one person accessing but actually 200? I tried to change the Number of Threads(users) at the Thread Group but nothing seems to change as I want to get the API errors that occured because there are too many people.
HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder is used to create a test scenario "skeleton", it basically stands between browser and application under test, captures requests and generates relevant HTTP Request samplers.
If you need to mimic 200 users you need to replay the recorded scenario with increased number of threads.

If your target is to simulate the load during recording time you can take a look at JMeter Chrome Extension, it has FollowMe Mode when any your online activity is replicated with a given number of virtual users.
We have SoapUI (Open Source Edition) installed on a windows jumpbox. Many users can login with their accounts, open soapui, import a wadl/wsdl from a dozen of projects and perform testing.
Since the IP is always same, we are unable to find who has sent a request and that is a problem when some destructive requests are made that causes lots of recovery issues (Only authorized users have the access).
Now we want to add http header like user : ${=System.getenv("USERNAME")} to the request. It can be a new header property or even a part of user agent.
We tried to put the property inside HTTP Preferences as a part of user agent string, but it passes the parameter as a string
We also set a global property but couldn't find a way to insert it as one of HTTP calls by default.
The only ways we found so far was:
going to soapui setting of each user and add headers to all requests one by one. (problem: what if user imports more wsdl/wadl later)
adding a startup script to created projects, so it adds the header by default to everything (problem: users can create new projects any time - please note that each soapui instance is individual)
This requirement can easily be fulfilled by the SoapUI's pro software using the feature called Events.
For example, add the header for each request before submitting the web service / rest service call.
However, you mentioned that free version is being used. Wrote an extension some time ago, which allows us to do the same in the free edition of SoapUI. There is a readme available explaining how to use this. Basically this extension implemented the some of the listeners of SaopUI's API while providing the flexibility to the end users what code should they run(in the form of external file) when the respective event occurs.
Complete the instructions mentioned in the readme.
Then you need to do is write a groovy script(already given below) to implement your requirement i.e., add the header to the request. That needs to be done in a file with specific file name located in specific directory(details available there).
In your case, the required code(mostly working sample below) should go into file called RequestStepBeforeSubmit.groovy, in order add the user name into each request's header automatically.
Below code snippet should work even if you use the pro software for the same requirement when SubmitListener.beforeSubmit event happens.
//change the condition if required, should be working for soap/rest types
if (context.getProperty("wsdlRequest")){
def request = context.getProperty("wsdlRequest").testStep.httpRequest
def existingHeaders = request.requestHeaders
def username = System.getProperty('user.name')
existingHeaders['user'] = [(username)]
request.requestHeaders = existingHeaders
}
