Creating JMeter test cases programatically and running through program

[Rajesh Balamohan <ra...@gmail.com>]

Hello Folks,

I have some experience in using this wonderful JMeter tool. It is really
useful.

I was wondering if we could the following with latest release of JMeter.

1. Create test plan programatically (using java client code, is it possible
to create test-plan and pass it on to JMeter?)
2. Is it possible to kick off JMeter from some other java program?. (I know
only java-ant task is available. However, I would like to know if it is
possible to kick off from some other java code). This will help in doing
some performance automation.

Any pointers on this would be of great help.

Or use the Proxy Server to record a browser session.

Yes, of course, this is open source so you get to see how it's all done...

The JMX files are just text files, so you can create them with a
scripting program.
That's probably the easiest approach.

Or you can have a look at how the Proxy creates the test plan.

Also, currently the only way to create simple testcases with http is to
launch jmeter and configure the testcases.

Would it be possible to create the simple testcases programtically without
having to launch jmeter GUI

You could use Runtime.exec() to run JMeter from Java code
