walking through a typical user experience, possible with jmeter?

[Matt Egyhazy <mw...@virginia.edu>]

hello,

ive used tools such as loadrunner from mercury before.  i have been
considering using jmeter for the same purpose, load testing a web
application.

however, i dont seem to be able to get it working so that it mirrors a
typical user experience on the site.  what i mean by this is that i cannot
simulate a user who goes to index.jsp and picks up some important session
variables there and then fills out a form on that page and it gets submitted
to a servlet and then fowards to a jsp that requires the session variables
set on the index.jsp.

i admit that i havent given it all that much time because i dont have time
to figure it out.  ive tried fooling around with the urlsample stuff, but i
dont think that is what im looking for.  my only other idea is that i can
setup 2 webtest elements but i am not sure that the threads running the
webtests share sessions.  any help from experienced users would be
appreciated.

matt

Hi Matt,

We are in the process of rewriting the JMeter User's
Guide.  It will include both basic and advanced
tutorials on how to do HTTP testing.  I personally
have not tried creating a Test Plan that handled
session ID's, I have seen emails on this distribution
list that described the process.  

We will be releasing the new documentation as part of
the final 1.7 release (in the near future).  1.7 is
currently in its 2nd beta.

Thanks,
Kevin
