Re: Re: Auto correlation in Jmeter

[Alexander Podelko <ap...@yahoo.com.INVALID>]

 Hi, 
By the way, what exactly "Var replacement on recording" can do? The "User Defined Variable replacement" section in http://jmeter.apache.org/usermanual/component_reference.html#User_Defined_Variables speaks about regex in variables, but I don't see a clear example how it may be used. 
For example, I know that request_id can be found in the server response as {"id":"(.+?)",Can I specify it through that var replacement on recording? the request_id's value is a random GUID, each time new. 
Thanks,Alex

 I am working for Oracle (Hyperion/EPM in particular). The one described below is ADF-based. ADF is Application Development Framework and many Oracle applications use it now http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/adf/overview/index.html
The term auto-correlation is rather vague. I'd break it at least into two cases:

1) The tool using some logic guessing what parameters to correlate - either just analyzing the script (I guess what Blazemeter is doing on the top of JMeter with SmartJMX https://www.blazemeter.com/blog/how-cut-your-jmeter-scripting-time-80) or analyzing playback and comparing it with the recording (as, if I understand correctly, LoadRunner does beyond rules-based correlation). As it uses kind of AI, sometimes you need to spent more time fixing it (so I am not a big fan of that approach as I prefer to know exactly what is going on) - but it may work fine in simple cases.
2) Rule-based correlation. You have libraries with specific rules where you explicitly specify what to correlate. It is rather straightforward and you completely control what happens (if a rule doesn't work, you either modify it or disable it). I guess it shouldn't be too complicated from the implementation side too. It appears that OctoPerf did that on the top of JMeter https://doc.octoperf.com/correlation/ . I am rather surprised not to find something like this in JMeter.

Thanks,
Alex

Hi Alexander,
From our experience large number of correlation is usually related to
"particular protocols" or frameworks or RIA for example:
- Oracle JDEdwards
- Siebel
- SAP BO/BI
- Vaadin
...

For other usual webapps (Ajax, Angular based...) , the number of
correlation is reasonable and not so complex even manually done using
native JMeter techniques:
- Var replacement on recording
- Search/replace available now in GUI
- Usual extractors (css, regex, json, xpath)

And using scoping can factor out those rules to only code them once.

That's why we asked the question on technology.

But I am pretty interested by your feedback on this and know what
technology your current app is based on to see if it is in those
technologies I mention.

I am also interested to know if auto correlation really works in other
well-known tools. There was a discussion on user mailing list few years ago
about this topic and I remember reading one of your post about auto
correlation saying it worked in a pretty low percentage of cases.


Regards
