JMeter Learning

My Learning with JMeter.
This new year, i will come with some post on my learning with JMeter. This is the first inital post, which is starting point.


Apache JMeter

Apache JMeter is Open Source Software, a 100% pure Java desktop application designed to load test client/server software (such as a web application ).
 It may be used to test performance both on static and dynamic resources such as static files, Java Servlets, Perl scripts, CGI scripts, Java objects, databases and queries , FTP servers , and more.

JMeter can be used to simulate a heavy load on a server, network or object to test its strength or to analyze overall performance under different load types.

JMeter can help you regression test your application by letting you create test scripts with assertions to validate that your application is returning the results you expect. For maximum flexibility, JMeter lets you create these assertions using regular expressions.

Starting to Use:

To Install JMeter we need to just download the binaries .zip from the given link: http://jmeter.apache.org/download_jmeter.cgi

Download Jmeter, and install by unzipping the .zip file in any directory. Go to apache-jmeter-2.8\bin folder, it has the files shown is screenshot below:


 To Start JMeter, Double Click on Jmeter.bat. JMeter will start with the below initial screen.
The user interface has two panes. The left pane displays the elements used in our testing. Initially, there are the Root and two sub-elements, Test Plan and WorkBench.

Test Plan: A test plan describes a series of steps JMeter will execute when run. A complete test plan will consist of one or more Thread Groups, logic controllers, sample generating controllers, listeners, timers, assertions, and configuration elements.

WorkBench: Workbench is place where we store test elements which are saved and used in later stages. We can add two non test-elements which are HTTP proxy server and HTTP mirror server. Http proxy server is used for recording purpose.
To use it right click on workbench  then select Add --> Non-Test Elements --> HTTP Proxy Server.

Lets see some terms related to JMeter in next post.

How to use a value between two different threads in Jmeter

How to use a value between two different threads: Let us see how we can use the extracted value in one thread can be used in a different thread: As shown below we have Two threads (Thread Group – 1 and Thread Group -2). Under Thread Group -1 we have a HTTP Request where we extracted Request_Id and Session_Id. In our example we will use the same Ids in Thread Group -2 We have BeanShell PostProcessor to log the output of the variables in the output log. The Lines in the both BeanShell is as below: log.info("Request Id in Thread 1 = " + "${Request_Id}"); log.info("Session Id in Thread 1 = " + "${Session_Id}"); Now if we run the Script we get the below output: As we see the values of both the IDs are not passed to Thread Group-2. Now we will add few lines in the BeanShell PostProcessor as below and run again: ${__setProperty(Request_Id,"${Request_Id}")}; ${__setProperty(Session_Id,"${Session_Id}")};

Steps to Analyze AWR Report in Oracle

Steps to Analyze AWR Report in Oracle AWR -   Automatic   workload repository is a collection of persistent   system performance   statistics   owned by SYS. It resides in SYSAUX   tablespace . By default snapshot are generated once every 60 min and maintained for 7 days . Each snapshot has a unique ID know as "snap_id". Snapshot detail can be found in " dba_hist_snapshot " view.   If we have Database performance issue and not the Database machine, then AWR Report is the place to look at. AWR is not used for real-time performance monitoring like the v$ tables. It is used for historical analysis of performance. AWR complements, but doesnot replace real-time monitoring. Once AWR Report is generated in Oracle, the next task is to analyze it. By going through the AWR Report we can easily solve issues like slow database, high wait events, slow query and many more issues. Even though the report is lengthy, Analyzing or Reading relevant part of AWR Report can

Correlation and checking in Results

Correlation and checking In Previous post we have randomly selected value for depart and arrive. Each Depart and arrive have a outboundFlight and returnFlight field, which changes according to the selected values. For E.g.: When we recorded the script with depart as “London” and arrive as “Paris” the below flight details was recorded accordingly to the selection.      /*web_submit_form("reservations.pl_2",          "Snapshot=t5.inf",          ITEMDATA,          "Name=outboundFlight", "Value=241;97;03/28/2014", ENDITEM,          "Name=returnFlight", "Value=422;102;03/29/2014", ENDITEM,          "Name=reserveFlights.x", "Value=26", ENDITEM,          "Name=reserveFlights.y", "Value=8", ENDITEM,          LAST); */ As we see above the outboundFlight and returnFlight is hard coded and needs to be correlated according to the selected value. So inserting the c
