Jmeter – Log on

The very common scenario is, some pages need logon before load. How to do load testing for such pages?

For example: http://10.17.0.66/Search?tab=contact

Below are the steps I used:

1. Add Http Cookie Manager for this Thread Group

 

2. Fill in right fileds in HTTP Request

 Name :　input what you want

Server Name or IP　：10.17.0.66 without http:// and /

Path

I won’t be successful if you directly input /Search?tab=contact .

you should input  /Account/LogOn?ReturnUrl=%2fSearch%3ftab%3dcontact&tab=contact

How to get this link , try to navigate the target page without logon , you will get it

Method：Most of  log on functionality use form to transfer parameters , so you should chose post method

Parameters you post:　add parameters for username and password.

how to get to name of parameters, ask F12. hey, you know that. right?

3. Basically, the upper two steps is enough to start load testing with log on.

But, to be a  responsible person, you have to make sure it really works. So add a listener called ‘View Result Tree’, in Response data page, to check if the server response as you expected.
