Stress testing with JMeter - HTTP User Parameter Modifier
Hi,
I want to simulate 1,000 requests on my web application each request passing
different paramaters to the login.jsp file ie. 1000 different usernames and
passwords to the login page. For that I defined set of users in an XML file
named users.xml and saved it under the bin directory of JMeter's
distribution with the name users.xml overwriting the existing sample file
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE allthreads SYSTEM "users.dtd">
<allthreads>
<thread>
<parameter>
<paramname>username</paramname>
<paramvalue>linuxuser</paramvalue>
</parameter>
<parameter>
<paramname>password</paramname>
<paramvalue>techie</paramvalue>
</parameter>
</thread>
<thread>
<parameter>
<paramname>username</paramname>
<paramvalue>windowsuser</paramvalue>
</parameter>
<parameter>
<paramname>password</paramname>
<paramvalue>non-techie</paramvalue>
</parameter>
</thread>
</allthreads>
I then changed the following input fields in order to simulate each
individual user with the stress test:
* Number of threads: From the Thread Group option, changed this number
to 3 to reflect those declared in the users.xml file.
* Pre-processors: While placed on the HTTP Request icon, right-clicked
and selected the Add -- Pre Processors -- User Parameter choice from the
pull-down menu. I read that this option tells JMeter to load the users.xml
file.
But despite doing that I don't see the users.xml contents being reflected in
the User "Parameter" Preprocessor screen as given in the screenshot.
JMeter manual says there is a preprocessor "HTTP User Parameter Modifier"
but I can find only "User Parameter" Preprocessor. Please tell me where am I
going wrong. Am i using the wrong version. I am currently using
jakarta-jmeter-2.3.2 version.

The users.xml file is deprecated; it is much better to use a different
method such as CSV Dataset.

http://jakarta.apache.org/jmeter/usermanual/component_reference.html#HTTP_User_Parameter_Modifier
says that the element is deprecated; one should use
http://jakarta.apache.org/jmeter/usermanual/component_reference.html#User_Parameters
instead
See also the CSV Data Set Config element, which is more suitable for
large numbers of parameters:

Thanks Ajay...That did help but for each thread that is run it is picking
only the first line of the CSV file. I want that for each new request, new
values from CSV should be picked.
My csvdata.txt under the bin folder has the following contents-
username1,password1
username2,password2
username3,password3
But For each request usernam1 and password1 are being passed as parameters
Thanks....

Hi,
I think you missed out to define the "Value" field in the HTTP Request
page.
If you have defined the text files with user name and password then in
the value field you have to mention "${username}" and "${password}".

I tried with the CSV also but of no use.
I am attaching the screenshots if you could help me figure out the

If you see the Results tree screenshot you would find that the request

I would appreciate if you could let me know where am I going wrong. I
