JMeter: how to simulate many concurrent users logging in with different login IDs

Question

I need to do load testing of a GWT based application. jMeter is my tool.

I can simulate many concurrent users logging in with the same login ID using the jMeter write proxy function.

Could you tell me how to simulate many concurrent users registering with different login IDs?

The approach to the above question does not work for me, as I am the only test engineer. But I have 5 PCs to work with. So, how do I execute different test plans (one for each login ID) on each of the remote computers?

Answer 1

to get different login IDs, you can use the CSV dataset configuration. Just put all the credentials to log into the CSV file and you will go well.

You will want this CSV file to work on each of the 5 machines in the \ bin directory or in the network directory that each computer can access.

This link has a step-by-step guide on distribution: http://jmeter.apache.org/usermanual/remote-test.html

To get different test plans for each machine, there are several options that I would recommend:

• Use IF controllers to say "if login is X, follow these steps.
• Use the RANDOM controllers so that the script chooses a different path for each thread.
