How to record load test for RAP Application using JMeter? [message #84398]

Hey Rap Team,

I read that you guys load tested the RAP application using JMeter. I
want to know how to visually record load test scripts using JMeter.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

Arpit

Hi,

there's documentation about recording tests attached to the JMeter
installation, see

mmeter-install-dir\docs\usermanual\jmeter_proxy_step_by_step .pdf

Ciao
Frank

Frank, 
 
 I played around with JMeter and was
finally able to record and playback tests. (Starting a simple GUI - no
workbench - and clicking some buttons).
 (For others to try:  I recorded
like described in the JMeter-tutorial, futhermore added a cookie manager
and replaced the HTTP-param 'requestCounter' with an increasing count starting
at 0 for each recorded HTTP-request)
 
 Nevertheless I face problems, when trying
to start repeated and/or multithreaded tests (just increasing 'loop count'
or 'thread count' in the 'thread group'). I think this is caused, because
JMeter doesn't reset the session-cookie (despite checking the option 'clear
cookies each iteration' in the Cookie Manager). When using multiple threads
each thread has it's own session-id as long as this option is unchecked
(?!).
 To sum up: Just starting x threads somehow
works for each thread - but as soon as I want to have the tests loop for
some while i get problems.
 
 Do you have similar experiences with
JMeter ? Which version of JMeter do you use anyway ?
 Do you have an easy hint on how to have
a simpler life with the 'requestCounter'. When recording it somehow never
starts with 0, changing it manually is annoying when recording longer sequences.
 Another thing that interests me: do
you rerecord your JMeters-tests with each quoxdoo or RAP Milestone ? Or
are the HTTP-request done by quoxdoo quite stable over different versions
?

Got it running in the end.
 
 I removed the Cookie Manager and replaced
it with URL-rewriting (for jsessionid). In the requests I also omit the
'noCache'-param now (because otherwise URL-rewriting doesn't seems to work).
 Futhermore I rearranged the nodes and
inserted an extra 'Simple Controller'. Now the URL-Rewriter isn't used
on the very first call to RAP (where no cached jsessionid is needed).
 This allows to use use the loop-count
instead of the thread count in the Thread Group.
 Maybe with the same node layout the
Cookie Manager would work as well - but I'm not fancy trying this again.
 
 When disabling Cookies in my browser,
then the 'requestCounter' starts with 0 all the time as well (when recording).

There is a bug in the latest version of JMeter (2.3.1)

"JMeter 2.3.1 bug in Cookie Manager "clear each iteration""
http://markmail.org/message/bis6om3wnpqtqin5

The workaround I used until now is to use JMeter 2.3
