I need your help, I have recorded a login script in blaze meter and importing it into JMeter what I noticed that browsing URL is repeating like site.com/0, site.com/1,site.com/2 and so on. Please suggest what to do to fix it asap help required. thanks.
I am trying to record a login script in blaze meter when I imported the script in JMeter I found that the browsing URL is repeating. like example.com/0, example.com/1,and so on. please help me.
We cannot "help" without knowing what are your expectations.
When it comes to performance testing of web applications you need to ensure that JMeter is properly configured to behave exactly like a real browser.
It means that JMeter should send the same requests and in the same manner as the real browser does.
In case if the network footprint generated by JMeter matches the one which the real browser produces - you don't need any "help" there. If it doesn't - we need to see:
the dump of requests from "Network" tab of your browser's developer tools
how did you configure the BlazeMeter Chrome Extension, i.e. choosing "Only top level requests" might "help" you
Normally these numeric postfixes are used as the naming convention for the Transaction Controller to all nested redirects, embedded resources and so on would be considered an integral part of the parent "transaction"

We've got a very large Web application with about 1000 pages to be tested (www.project-open.com, a project + finance management application for service companies). Each page may take multiple parameters (object-id, filters, column name to use for sorting, ...). We are now going to implement additional security checks on these parameters, so we need to systematically test that a) offensive parameter values are rejected and b) that the parameter values actually used by the application are accepted correctly.
Example: We might want to say that the sort_column parameter in a page should only consist of alphanumeric characters. But the application in reality may include a column name with a space in it, leading to a false positive security alert (space character not being an alphanumeric character).
My idea for testing this would be to 1) manually navigate to each of these pages in proxy mode, 2) tell ZAP to start spidering all links on this page for one or two levels and 3) tell ZAP to start fuzzing on these URLs.
How can this be implemented? I've got a basic understanding of ZAP and did some security testing of ]project-open[. I've read about a ZAP extension for scanning a list of URLs, but in our case we want to execute some specific ZAP actions on each of these URLs...
I'll summarise some of your options:
I'd start by using the ZAP desktop so that you can control it and see exactly what effect it has. You can launch a browser, explore you app and then active scan the urls you've found. The standard spider will find explore traditional apps very effectively but apps that make a lot of use of JavaScript will probably require the ajax spider.
You can also use the 'attack mode' which attacks everything that is in scope (which you define) that you proxy through ZAP. That just means the ZAP effectively just follows what you do and attacks anything new. If you dont explore part of your app then ZAP wont attack it.
If you want to implement your own tests then I'd have a look at creating scripted active scan rules. We can help you with those but I'd just start with exploring your app and running the default rules for now.
I'm implementing a python script mainly based on pyautogui. One of the things the script does is to open a chrome webpage. After that I would need to access the DOM of this currently open webpage.
Since I've not opened the browser with selenium, I can't use it to analyze the DOM.
However, my question is: is this currently open chrome page available/saved somewhere in the hard drive so that I can access it with selenium? Like an .html file?
I checked many other questions here and users talk about chrome cache, but there are no html files there.
I just need to be able to access the current open page and not all the historical data in the cache.
Opening web browser directly with selenium is not an option either, since most of the websites analyzed have captchas and distil technology.
Thanks.
If you start the original chrome with --remote-debugging-port=PORT_NR argument, and visit localhost:PORT_NR from another browser, you will have access to the full content of the browser, including dev console.
Once you have this, you have multiple ways to go:
You can visit http://localhost:PORT_NR with with any other browser (or even with the same browser), and you should have full access to the content of the original Chrome. With Selenium you should have a relatively easy time to get by.
You can also use the devtools api (the documentation.. is.. well... there is room for improvement. Search for chrome devtools protocol to be amazed by the lack of docs). As an example you can get to http://localhost:PORT_NR/json to get the available debugging URIs. Grab the relevant websocket endpoint (webSocketDebuggerUrl). Open a websocket connection, and issue a command, like {"method": "DOM.getDocument", "id":12}. You can find available DOM related commands here: https://chromedevtools.github.io/devtools-protocol/1-3/DOM
Sice I had to reinvet the wheel I may give some extra info that I coudn't find anywhere:
Start the Browser with remote debugging enabled (see previous posts)
Connect to the given port on localhost and use these HTTP-GET-Requests to geta very limited control on your browser:
https://chromedevtools.github.io/devtools-protocol/#endpoints
Most important:
GET /json/new?{url}
GET /json/activate/{targetId}
GET /json/close/{targetId}
GET /json or /json/list
To gain full control over the browser, you need to use a "websocket" connection. Each Object in the GET /json or /json/list has it's own ID. Use this ID to interact with the tab. Btw: Type "page" are normal tabs, the other stuff are extentions and so on. Once you know which Tab you want to influence, get it's "webSocketDebuggerUrl".
Use this URL and connect with something that can speak the Websocket-protocol.
Once connected, you must craft a valid Json by the following structure:
{
"id":0,
"method":"Page.navigate",
"params":{url:http://google.com}}
}
Notes:
ID is a simple counter (int) that get bigger - not the ID of the tab(!)
Method is the method described in the docs params is also in the docs.
The return values are always JSONs.
From now on you can use the official docs:
https://chromedevtools.github.io/devtools-protocol/tot/Page/#method-navigate
Dunno how other ppl found out about it but it took a few hours to get it working. Probably cause everyone is just using python's selenium to do it.
I want to test a page.Where i want to fill up the fields like first name last name etc.and after going two pages further if i come back to the original page by using back navigation ,data entered for first name and last name remains the same.or it is filled up.
In jmeter i want to check the same if data entered for the fields remain same if i navigate back .
How can i achieve this.
I tried gving url directly in the path its not happening since it is not the way.
please help me since i'm new to jmeter.
You need to understand 2 things. How JMeter works and how your application works.
JMeter only captures data that is communicated to server. It does not matter how data is entered from UI. It does not check if data retains in the fields or not. It only records the request that is sent by your application to server-side.
So, if you understand above, you also need to understand how your application sends data to server. Does it sends the request as you move from first page to second. Or does it send (Submit) data on final page.
Either way, JMeter is not a tool to test if your form fields are retaining data in them as you navigate between pages. As mentioned earlier it only monitors data requests/responses.
Selenium seems a better option for your test requirement.
Please read the apache documentation carefully:
JMeter is not a browser. 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 viewed at a time).
First, you have to understand how JMeter works!!! To do the Functional Testing, Selenium would be a good choice.
Thanks
I wrote test case using selenium webdrive. also i use junit.
Now i want to test that test case for 100 + users.
So i use treads in that application, but i can go up to that much of users because my memory in not enough for that(open 100+ browsers).
So is there a way to test this in Jmeter.
I can't use badboy recording and import it to Jmeter because somehow my application doesn't support it. (the replay doesn't work in badboay).
Please help me to solve this problem.
Thanks
JMeter offers it's own recording solution - HTTP(s) Test Script Recorder. You can record your test case with it and then try to replay.
If you need to check only unauthenticated navigation, like accessing different pages by anonymous user it should work as a charm. However if you test assumes authentication (log in), creating or updating some stuff, etc. you may need to use HTTP Cookie Manager to deal with user authentication and Regular Expression Extractor Post Processor to fetch dynamic values from responses and add them to next request.
There are some more components you may wish to consider adding to make your test look like more realistic:
Add HTTP Header Manager - to set different headers like User-Agent, Accept-Language, etc. - what real browser does
Add HTTP Cache Manager - to simulate browser cache
Make sure that "Retrieve all embedded resources" property of HTTP Sampler is checked - to simulate parsing css, images, scripts, etc.
Make sure that "Use concurrent pool" is enabled and has size from 2 to 5 threads - as browsers download embedded stuff asynchronously in several threads
Make sure that you filter out external domains in "URLs must match" field - you unlikely want to load test Google Analytics or external banners or whatever
I'm a newbie to jMeter, so please bear with me.
I've been assigned the task of testing how an e-commerce website responds under load. I've managed to set up basic tests in jMeter that basically just repeatedly visit the home page, but I'd like to simulate something a bit more realistic:
User arrives on home page
User goes to catalogue page
User views product
User adds product to cart
User returns to catalogue, selects another product, adds to cart
User removes first product from cart
User proceeds to checkout
User completes checkout process.
I'm having trouble finding adequate documentation to explain how to do this. I figured out that I need a cookie manager in my test so that the user session will be maintained, but I haven't figured out how to get the user to traverse the site in a realistic use pattern (such as the one described above). Can anyone help out with this, give me some pointers as where to look for good examples, etc?
This should be no problem, record or manually create the necessary steps as HTTP Samplers, then add them into a Runtime Controller for example to execute them iteratively.
The individual steps will be executed in the order they are in the tree and, in case Cookies are used to handle session state, you might need to add the Cookie Manager to the top of the tree which will handle cookie headers for each user.
Add some timers to simulate user's think time and scale up by increasing the number of virtual users in the thread group.
Use some listener like the Aggregate Report to view the response times for every step.
Try to read http://jmeter.apache.org/usermanual/index.html at first.
Also you'll encounter the problem that Jmeter can't process dynamic pages:
http://wiki.apache.org/jmeter/JMeterFAQ#Does_JMeter_process_dynamic_pages_.28e.g._Javascript_and_applets.29
Does JMeter process dynamic pages (e.g. Javascript and applets)?
No. 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.
