When I run Jmeter test using Junit-selenium for three users, login data is entered thrice in a single browser

Question

Three browser windows are launched but all Login details are entered in single browser window. In the other two browser windows login data are not entered and the test gets failed.

It occurs for thread count greater than one.

Following are the Debugging approaches

1. Extracted Jar file works well with Jmeter if the thread count is 1.
2. Code works fine when launched from IDE

IDE Used: Eclipse

Project Build: Using Maven Plugin

My Test Class (Main Class)

package test.myproject.com;


import org.junit.After;
import org.junit.Before;
import org.junit.FixMethodOrder;
import org.junit.runners.MethodSorters;
import org.junit.Test;

@FixMethodOrder(MethodSorters.NAME_ASCENDING)
public class TestLoginPage extends TestBase {
    HomePage homepage;
    SideMenu sidemenu;
    OrganisationPage organisationpage;

    public TestLoginPage(){
        super();
    }   

    @Before
    public void BrowserSetup() {
        intialization();    
    }



    //@Test
    public void MakeLogin() throws InterruptedException {   
        homepage=new HomePage();
        System.out.println(homepage.GetBuildVersion());
        Thread.sleep(2000);
        homepage.EnterEmail("[email protected]");
        homepage.EnterPassword("*****");
        homepage.PerformLogin();
        System.out.println(driver.getTitle());
    }

    @Test
    public void CreateProject() throws InterruptedException {

        MakeLogin();
        sidemenu=new SideMenu();
        sidemenu.administartion_click();
        sidemenu.organisation_click();
        organisationpage=new OrganisationPage();
        organisationpage.org_setting_click();
        sidemenu.org_user_click();
        organisationpage.create_button_click();
        organisationpage.enter_fullname("loadautomationtest"+Helper.generate_string());
        organisationpage.enter_username("loadautomationtest"+Helper.generate_string());
        organisationpage.enter_emailid("loadautomationtest"+Helper.generate_string()+"@gmail.com");
        organisationpage.click_create();
    }


    @After
    public void TearDown() {
        driver.close();
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        //JUnitCore junit = new JUnitCore();
        //junit.addListener(new TextListener(System.out));
        //Result result = junit.run(TestLoginPage.class);  
        JUnitCore.main("test.myproject.com.TestLoginPage");
    }
}

Answer 1

It's hard to say what's wrong without seeing your intialization(); function, most probably you're facing some form of a race condition

As per WebDriver FAQ:

Q: Is WebDriver thread-safe?

A: WebDriver is not thread-safe. Having said that, if you can serialise access to the underlying driver instance, you can share a reference in more than one thread. This is not advisable. You /can/ on the other hand instantiate one WebDriver instance for each thread.

Most probably in your case 3 threads are trying to work with a single WebDriver instance (for example you declared it as static)

If you are not feeling too comfortable with multi-threading in Java I would recommend considering switching to WebDriver Sampler plugin or at least check its source code to learn how to properly initialize WebDriver instances so they would be independent and thread-safe
