Create JMeter test plan for web page

Posted by

To create a JMeter test plan for web testing, follow these steps:

  • Create a Test Plan: A test plan is a container for running tests. It defines what to test and how to go about it. A complete test plan consists of one or more elements such as thread groups, logic controllers, sample-generating controllers, listeners, timers, assertions, and configuration elements. A test plan must have at least one thread group.

  • Add a Thread Group: Thread Group elements are the beginning points of any test plan. All controllers and samplers must be under a thread group. The thread group element controls the number of threads JMeter will use to execute your test. You can configure the number of threads, ramp-up period, and the number of times to execute the test.

  • Add Default HTTP Request Properties: You can define the default settings for your HTTP requests. This is where you specify the Web Server's Server Name/IP and other default settings.

  • Add HTTP Requests: In this step, you specify the tasks that the users will be performing. You can add HTTP Request elements which use some of the default settings you specified earlier.

  • Add Cookie Support: Nearly all web testing should use cookie support, unless your application specifically doesn't use cookies. To add cookie support, simply add an HTTP Cookie Manager to each Thread Group in your test plan.

  • Add Assertions: Assertions allow you to check the response of each request. For example, you can check if the response code is 200 or if a certain text is present in the response.

  • Add Listeners: Listeners allow you to view the results of your test. You can add listeners such as View Results Tree, Aggregate Report, or Summary Report.

  • Save and Run the Test Plan: You can save the test plan using either Save or "Save Test Plan As..." from the File menu. You can run the test plan by clicking Start(Control + r) from the Run menu item.

For a more advanced test plan, you can add elements such as HTTP URL Re-writing Modifier, HTTP Header Manager, Timers, and more.
