Random testing feasible?
Hi,
I have a test plan with about 20 pages. I have set up 250 threads for
testing. I like to know if I can perform random testing in the following
manner:
1. put the urls for the 20 pages in a file
2. have 250 threads randomly go to one of the urls on the file
Thank you.
Patty

Please respond to "JMeter Users List"
In your case with 20 pages , if you are willing to create 20 samplers ,
then
yes you could group these under a Random Order Controller. However when
you
use something like a CSV file (so you have one sampler but the path to the
sampler varies with each iteration) you cannot use a Random order
controller. Random order Controllers are useful when you have journeys
that
you can vary (e.g. one set of pages is user searches catalog, another is
user checks out data etc)

Deepak,
thank you. I am going to try what you suggested.
Also, I was reading the jmeter materials and I like to check with you if
'Random Controller' is used for random testing. I was playing with it but
cannot draw conclusion.
Thanks.

hi
Depends on how random you want this to be.
You could also just have the CSV DataSet Config and have your 250 threads
just pick the next line , it will be random in a sense because threads
would
pick up different pages and the order would vary by each
iteration(simplest)
If you wanted something more if you only have 20 pages then you can load
this into JMeter variables / properties and generate a random int that
indexes into the array of 20 pages.
you could also pre generate combinations that a thread is supposed to
follow.
regards
