Re: Spidering a site, well testing (need clarification)

[MGilly <gi...@gmail.com>]

Can someone explain sebb-2's answer in terms that a non-programmer who's
relatively new to JMeter can understand? Preferably with pictures? ;)

This is exactly what I need to do - go through all the links on my very
large ecommerce site. My developer wants to use JMeter rather than a simple
link checker (like Xenu) so that we can measure the performance of the
server as the program gets deeper into the links and more product pages are
cached, etc; as well as give us more control over how quickly the requests
are sent and in what order, etc.

Is sebb-2 saying that you have to provide all of the links in the first HTTP
Request, for example maybe using a list in a text file; or do you just need
to provide one link that is an example or something?
