Re: how to instruct jMeter to give several values to a POST
variable in a test run?
This article is very clear on how to iterate over many users for a given
thread group and its child requests,
how about iterating over other variables?
Mind you each user would log in once, then perform a number of
activities (send a number of requests) throughout their session (or
thread group)
How do I simulate sending sets of variables with different values ?
Thanks for the link to the article, and hoping for similarly helpful
information .

Or use a global counter (threads will not share values) or the
threadNum() function to generate a unique variable for each thread.
You can then use the variables to generate unique strings to send.
This depends on how much choice you have over the format of the
values.
Or you can create a CSV file containing the different items you want
to send, and use the CSV DataSet Config to read these into variables.

RE: how to instruct jMeter to give several values to a POSTvariable in a test run?
Posted by "Aycock, Glenn W. (JSC-IS)[TES]" <gl...@nasa.gov>.
One thing you might try, if I understand your question correctly, is to
add a BeanShell pre-processor to the Sampler and do something like this:
sampler.addArgument("varname1", value1);
sampler.addArgument("varname2", value2);
sampler.addArgument("varname3", value3);
sampler.addArgument("varname4", value4);
If you need to concatenate several values into one variable, do it
beforehand.
I use this method to dynamically post different variables and values.
Alternatively, you might try adding setting up a User Parameters
preprocessor and use the variables you define there in the Request
parameters.
Hope this helps,
Glenn
