For each iteration same form_key values are getting in response which should not be.
How to get unique form_key in response for each iteration
Jmeter Test result screenshot
I cannot reproduce your issue using one of the online Magento demo instances, in particular this one: http://demo-acm-2.bird.eu/customer/account/login/
As you can see, each time form_key is different for each user for each iteration.
If you're using HTTP Cookie Manager - make sure to tick "Clear cookies each iteration" box
Also make sure to properly setup the HTTP Request sampler, to wit put http or https into "Protocol", server name or IP to the relevant field, path, etc.

I set username and password from CSV file user:sysadmin, pass:"Pass#123456" but password is encrypted wrong upon request
User=sysadmin&Pass=Pass%40123456
The fact you see it as Pass#123456 doesn't necessarily mean that JMeter is sending wrong data, it might be either by intention due to string-based request representation in Raw form of request inspection in the View Results Tree listener or by accident (just a bug in it. You can check JMeter Issue Tracker to see whether similar issues were reported already)
In the mean time try switching to the HTTP tab of the View Results Tree listener:
Or double check what you're sending using a sniffer tool like Fiddler or Wireshark
But first of all I would recommend verifying your CSV data via Debug Sampler or temporarily switching to hard-coded (not parameterized) data to see if it resolves your issue.
# is encoded when sending HTTP request.
You need to add HTTP Header Manager with variable name Content-Type with value application/x-www-form-urlencoded,
This will tell the server that the values need to be decoded
I'm trying to learn J-Meter.
When I'm running a sample script of logging into a site using both valid/invalid credentials,it doesn't stop thread execution when invalid login credential is used and also login is not recorded in database.
Does it actually login to the website or only creates virtual login to create a similar environment.Is there any way to achieve this using Samplers?
JMeter is/acts as a headless browser.
Whatever your browser with an UI does, JMeter can also do - except executing a javascript. So, If you had recorded your script correctly - JMeter can login to the actual application as well.
Jmeter is not like QTP/Selenium. It does not know if it is a valid credential/invalid credential. It passes/fails the request based on the HTTP codes. If the HTML response from the server comes with a 200 http code, It passed for JMeter. If the server responds with code 500, JMeter fails the request. But JMeter also provides a way to validate the response you get - Assertion. You can use Response Assertion to see if you are seeing the home page or not to confirm if the user has logged in successfully.
To stop the test on error, select the appropriate option here in thread Group properties.
JMeter is a very nice tool & have been using it for 2 years with no issues.
Good luck!
Does your script have Config Element -> HTTP Cookie Manager? It needs cookie for the login function.
If your script has many transactions with the same level with login transaction and the option you select in your Thread Group is Continue, all transactions will be executed no matter login transaction is passed or failed.
In case you want the other transactions will not be executed if login fails, let add a Regular Expression Extractor as child of the login transaction to retrieve the text Dashboard, put other transactions into a Logic Controller -> If Controller. Suppose the Regular Expression Extractor has name Dashboard and Default value is NotFound, then the Condition of If Controller will be "${Dashboard}"!="NotFound"
JMeter automatically treats 2xx and 3xx HTTP Response Codes successful so it won't be able to detect failed login unless you explicitly tell it to check presence or absence of some specific content in the response data.
So if you add a Response Assertion you will be able to conditionally fail sampler and choose what to do in case of failure via "Action to be taken after a Sampler error" on Thread Group level.
See How to Use JMeter Assertions in Three Easy Steps guide for more details on the assertions domain.
If you're unsure what JMeter Sampler is doing you can check request and response details via View Results Tree listener. If you cannot simulate login event in majority of cases it is due to missing HTTP Cookie Manager and/or failed correlation of dynamic mandatory parameter(s) like Viewstate, CSRF token, etc.
So basically I need to extract an auth token from header response of 1st http request and then use the extracted data in 2nd (and all the following) http requests cookies.
The issue here is, that I have cookie manager set for the whole controller and instead of getting actual data I get the name of variable in my cookie ".authToken=${auth}".
I am guessing the reason is that the variable is not declared when the test reaches Cookie manager, but I would expect jmeter to be smart enough to declare the variable when it gets to the regular expression extractor.

Regular expression extractor
Http request (I need to use value extracted above in Request Cookie here)
Http request (I need to use the same value in Request Cookie here)
Http request (I need to use the same value in Request Cookie here)
.....
Details:
All the http requests are recorded with implementation HttpClient3.1
Pretty sure I have everything configured correctly as in variable names, regular expression since it works in a very specific case:
The only time it seemed to work correctly was when I had Cookie manager inside the http request and disabled the 'main' Cookie manager (the one for the whole controller). Then it got extracted correctly, but that would be really silly workaround for such a basic requirement and also I have many http requests (over 100) where I need to use the extracted value.
Jmeter doesn't need to use the variable before it's declared by the regular expression extractor, I made sure that the domain is correct and it gets used for the first time after it should have been extracted.
Another workaround I thought of would be having separate threads, have them linked and send the variable in between them, launching the next one once the data gets extracted, but that seems a little bit too drastic.
What I tried:
Splitting http requests into 2 different controllers and using 2 different Cookie managers - got "${auth}" instead of some value
Defining user variable above controller and then using "Apply to: Jmeter Variable" option - again got just string "${auth}" instead of some value.
Moving the Cookie manager to a position after the http request which is used for the extraction - again "${auth}" instead of some value
Setting different cookie's policy (not all of them, but few)
Setting "CookieManager.save.cookies=true" in jmeter.properties (and still have on true)
Any help/ideas are appreciated. I have been trying to figure this out for about an hour and I think I must be missing something very simple.
Alright, finally got this resolved after roughly 2 hours.
Thanks to this article, I was able to do what I needed
https://capacitas.wordpress.com/2013/06/11/thats-the-way-the-cookie-crumbles-jmeter-style-part-2/
In nutshell: You need to use beanshell pre-processor and add the cookie manually
Here is the beanshell script in case the site dies:
import org.apache.jmeter.protocol.http.control.CookieManager;
import org.apache.jmeter.protocol.http.control.Cookie;
CookieManager manager = sampler.getCookieManager();
Cookie cookie = new Cookie("CookieName", vars.get("YourExtractedVariable"), "Domain", "Path", false, 0);
manager.add(cookie);
I'm creating a 50 users load test on a JSF web application.
I record a scenario using JMeter proxy for one user who logs in, does some db operations and logs out. After recording the scenario, the recorded test contains http requests and data that particularly belongs to the user used while scenario recording.
At the time of running the test for 50 unique virtual users, the recorded test sends http requests and data which was in the recorded scenario. But in our application, the http requests and data vary depending upon the user. So how do I handle such situations in JMeter when it comes to methods being called depending upon the existence or non-existence of data for a user after logging in?
To be precise how would I make changes in my Test plan to manage dynamic urls and dynamic data for each virtual user?
Latest versions of JMeter allow you to write the whole parameters (raw data) from scratch, so you could use variables in this field.
To achieve dynamic URLs use a Regular Expression Extractor (Post-Processor) on a prior request that define what request will be sent and use the variable in HTTP Request's path field.
If you know what request each type of users will send you could use If Controllers and test a thread variable, created by a previous Regular Expression Extractor, and inside each controller add the specific request.
If the subsequent request for each user is defined by the server, using redirection, just check "Follow Redirection" field.
See JMeter Wiki for more examples on how to do this.
I have a requirement where the site only needs to respond to the user within certain seconds, regardless of the contents.
Now there is a option in Jmeter in HTTP Proxy Server -> URL Patterns to exclude and then to start recording.
Here I can specify gif, css or other content to ignore. However before starting the recording I have to be aware of what are the various contents that are going to be there.
Is there any specific parameter to pass to Jmeter or any other tool which takes care about loading the page only and I can assert the response code of that page and no the other contents of the page are recorded.
Thanks.
Use the standard HTTP Request sampler with DISABLED (not checked) option Retrieve All Embedded Resources from HTML Files (set via sampler's control panel):
"It also lets you control whether or not JMeter parses HTML files for
images and other embedded resources and sends HTTP requests to
retrieve them."
NOTE: You may also define the same setting via HTTP Request Defaults.
NOTE: See also "Response size calculation" in the same HTTP Request article.
Add assertions to your http samplers:
Duration Assertion: to tests if response was received within a defined amount of time;
Response Assertion: to ensure that request was successfull,
e.g.
Response Field to Test = Response Code
Pattern Matching Rules = Equals
Patterns to Test = 200
You want to run test that would ignore resources after certain number of seconds?
I don't understand, what are you trying to accomplish by doing that?
Users will still receive those resources when they request your url, so your tests wont be accurate.
I don't mean any disrespect, but is it possible that you misunderstood the requirements?
I assume that the requirement is to load all the resources in certain number of seconds, not to cut off the ones that fail to fit in that time?
