How to load 100 urls as http request in jmeter?

Question

I have 100 urls/tickers, and I want to load them in test plan(JMeter) as HTTP Request and I want to check the response(text, code) of each URL.

My goal is to check each URL/ticker is active or not and data is loaded or not.

I don't care about load time but I do care about response time. How to go about this?

Answer 1

• Add Thread Group. Configure it as follows: Number of Threads: whatever you like Loop Count: tick Forever or put -1

• Add CSV Data Set Config as a child of the Thread Group and configure it like: Filename: full path to the file with URLs Variable names: whatever you like, i.e. ${url} Recycle on EOF: False Stop thread on EOF: True

• Add HTTP Request sampler after the CSV Data Set Config and configure it as:

  Name: ${url} Path: ${url} - the URL from CSV file

• Use Response Assertion and Duration Assertion to check data and response time

• In response assertion check pattern matching rule as "Contains" and create a variable in "pattern to test" like : ${verify}. Now You should have a column name as Verify which contains the expected result of URLs in your .CSV file

• Add Listener "View result tree" to check the response and pass/fail on the basis of expected result.

You need first to Create a Performance Test Plan in Jmeter:

1. Start JMeter
2. Select Test Plan on the tree
3. Add Thread Group
4. Right click on the Test Plan and add a new thread group:
   • Add
   • Threads (Users)
   • Thread Group
5. In Thread Group control panel, enter Thread Properties:
   • Number of Threads: 100 (Number of users connects to target website: 100) [Exactly this step will load 100 users for you Sameer]
   • Loop Count: 10 (Number of time to execute testing)
   • Ramp-Up Period: 100

6. Add JMeter elements by right-clicking on the Thread Group and selecting:

   • Add
   • Config Element
   • HTTP Request Defaults

7. In the HTTP Request Defaults control panel, enter the Website name under test (http://www.google.com)

8. HTTP Request by right-click on Thread Group and select:
   • Add
   • Sampler
   • HTTP Request
9. In HTTP Request Control Panel, the Path field indicates which URL request you want to send to Google server
   10. For example, if you enter "calendar" in Path field. JMeter will create the URL request http://www.google.com/calendar to Google server
   11. In this test, you keep the Path field blank to make JMeter create the URL request http://www.google.com to Google server
   12. Run Test and get the test result
       • Press Run button (Ctrl + R) on Toolbar to start the testing process.

This is open list > Pls add steps if you observed different than above. It helps everyone here!

I would suggest designing your Test Plan as follows:

1. Add Thread Group. Configure it as follows:

   • Number of Threads: whatever you like
   • Loop Count: tick Forever or put -1

2. Add CSV Data Set Config as a child of the Thread Group and configure it like:

   • Filename: full path to the file with URLs
   • Variable names: whatever you like, i.e. ${url}
   • Recycle on EOF: False
   • Stop thread on EOF: True

3. Add HTTP Request sampler after the CSV Data Set Config and configure it as:

   • Name: ${url} - make sampler name the same as URL so you could distinguish them in the reports
   • Path: ${url} - the URL from CSV file
4. Use Response Assertion and Duration Assertion to check data and response time
