Use JUnit Selenium Test for testing in JMeter - selenium

Question

I have defined the following acceptance test scenario using selenium webdriver and junit which runs perfectly fine when executing the test with junit:
import org.junit.Test;
import org.junit.Before;
import org.junit.After;
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.Dimension;
import org.openqa.selenium.JavascriptExecutor;
import org.openqa.selenium.Keys;
import java.util.*;
public class SuccessfulLogin {
private WebDriver driver;
private Map<String, Object> vars;
JavascriptExecutor js;
#Before
public void setUp() {
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "C:\\drivers\\chromedriver.exe");
driver = new ChromeDriver();
js = (JavascriptExecutor) driver;
vars = new HashMap<String, Object>();
}
#After
public void tearDown() {
driver.quit();
}
#Test
public void firsttest() {
driver.get("http://localhost:9000/friendsify/login");
driver.manage().window().setSize(new Dimension(2576, 1408));
driver.findElement(By.name("username")).click();
driver.findElement(By.name("username")).sendKeys("max#mustermann.de");
driver.findElement(By.name("password")).click();
driver.findElement(By.name("password")).sendKeys("password");
driver.findElement(By.name("password")).sendKeys(Keys.ENTER);
driver.findElement(By.linkText("Friends")).click();
driver.close();
}
}
What is the proper way to make use of this test for testing the performance with JMeter?

Answer 1

First of all, are you aware of WebDriver Sampler plugin? Theoretically it can make your life easier.
Compile your test as .jar file
Put it under "lib/junit" path of your JMeter installation
Put all it's dependencies like selenium java library to "lib" folder of your JMeter installation
Restart JMeter to pick up the .jar
Your test class and method should be visible in JUnit Request sampler

Be aware that browsers are very resource intensive, i.e. Firefox 96 requires 1 CPU core and 2 GB of RAM so you might need a powerful machine to conduct the load tests. So maybe it worth considering using HTTP Request samplers for load testing your application.
