Setting up User Parameters
I'm relatively new to JMeter and could use some help setting up a series of logins. I have read the User Manual (but there isn't an example supplied for this component) and combed the user group posts (I didn't find the search feature helpful enough - maybe I searched to broadly?). I have read the user list guidelines and hope I'm not breaking any rules unintentionally.
Similar to Massimo Forno's post below, I'd like the have JMeter login a series of 2 user names (for this example) but I don't know how to set it up. My Test Plan basically looks like:
Thread
|__ Simple Controller
|__ HTTP Request - Login
|__ User Parameters - Login & Password
|__ HTTP Request - View Account Info
|__ HTTP Request - Logout
For "HTTP Request - Login" I have 3 parameters:
1. Name = cmd, Value = Login
2. Name = userName, Value = ${userName}
3. Name = password, Value = ${password}
For "User Parameters - Login & Password" I have 2 variables and 2 users:
1. Name = ${userName}, User_1 = Login1, User_2 = Login2
2. Name = ${password}, User_1 = password1, User_2 = password2
This isn't working as my logins fail (note: my scripts work fine without using User Parameter/variables). I haven't used variables before so this is a guess for me.
I will eventually want to set up Login1 - Login20 and hope to use the User Counter with a variable as advised to Massimo post.
Thanks for any help!

Yes, but unless you want
John1 Smith1
John2 Smith2
...
John10 Smith10
...
you will have to do some extra work to add the leading zero.
Use Counter config to define a variable, e.g. N, the you can use
John${N} Smith${N}
Otherwise, just create a file containing the names, and use CSV Data
Set to read them

Probably; use the Regex Extractor to get the field values.

You only need 1 data file.
CSV DataSet will read a new line for each user/thread, and for each
loop (if in a loop).
Try it and see

Hi sebb,
i have a similar but bit complex problem. i need to have 5 threads (simulated
user) and each thread with 3 iterations. so totally, it will be 5 * 3=15 times.
now i need to input different data on 15 iterations. how is this possible.
frm ur previous post, i understood, we can do it for single thread with multiple
iterations. but for multiple threads and multiple iterations, how is this
possible. pls advice.
i know we can have 1 csv file for each thread/user and can input data for 3
iterations in it. so for 5 threads, do u mean we need 5 csv files.
its not feasible for me, as i need to test for 100+ threads. so pls suggest.

Yes, unless you only have a few users.

You need to put the CSV Data Set at the start of the Thread Group, and
fill in the fields.
No changes needed to the Sampler (unless you use different variable names).

Yes

Do not use a header.

RE: Setting up User Parameters - variable logins using CSV
Posted by Brian Childs <bc...@campuspartners.com>.
Thanks for this! I now understand how a Counter with variables can work. This will be helpful when I have test logins set up. Until then, I have a couple of questions about your reply "replace the Counter with a CSV Data Set.":
1.) Do you think CSV Data Set is preferred to the User Parameters Pre Processor I've been trying to use? (If CVS works as I think it does, it's going to be much easier because of the ease of adding userNames & passwords.)
2.) For CSV Data Set, is this attaching a *.csv Filename in "HTTP Request - Login" and then adding a Parameter Name of "userName,password"?
3.) For the CSV file, record the first userName & password in A1, B1, the second in A2, B2? Do I need to add a header row of userName password in the CSV file?
3.) Can you send me a link of where I can find more info about CSV Data Set in JMeter?
While I've tried a bunch of variations I'm still not able to get CSV to work (reminder, these tests work if I put in the actual userName & password). Here are some of what I've tried:
'HTTP Request - Login'
Name, Value
1. cmd, Login
2. userName, ${userName} (also tried "userName")
3. password, ${password} (also tried "password")
Send a File With the Request:
Filename: E:\JMeterScripts\Test files\userNamePassword.csv
Parameter Name: ${userName},${password} (also tried "userName,password")
I've tried various CSV files too; below are a few examples:
james13,password
david13,password
userName,password
james13,password
david13,password
${userName},${password}
james13,password
david13,password
james13,password,david13,password
userName,password,james13,password,david13,password
${userName},${password},james13,password,david13,password
Again, thanks any additional help. I've been working on this for a while and reading all kinds of posts...

Set the Counter parameters as follows:
Start 1
Inc 1
Max 20 (or whatever)
Reference Name: NO
Track Counter Independently for each User should _not_ be enabled
Set the Login parameters as follows:
2. Name = userName, Value = Login${NO}
3. Name = password, Value = password${NO}
Or you can replace the Counter with a CSV Data Set, and set the

in which case your existing login should work.
