HOW TO

RECORD
JMETER
SCRIPT
Apache JMeter:-
Making Testing Easy:

Have you ever wondered how developers


make sure their websites or apps can
handle lots of users at once? Well, they use
tools like Apache JMeter to help them out.

What is Apache JMeter?


Think of Apache JMeter as a detective that
watches the conversation between you
(the user) and the website or app you're
using. It then turns that conversation into a
special script, kind of like a movie script but
for testing websites.

Why is it Important?

This script is super useful because it helps


developers see how their website or app
behaves when lots of people are using it at
the same time. It's like doing a practice run
before the big show to make sure
everything goes smoothly.
Prerequisites:-

Before we begin, make sure you have the


following:
1. Application or Website Link: The URL of
the application or website you want to test.
2. Test Data: Any user credentials or data
needed for testing.
3. Transaction Flow Diagram: An outline of
the steps or flow you want to test.
4. Web Browser: You'll need a web browser
like Chrome or Firefox.
5. Apache JMeter: Make sure you have JMeter
installed.
Recording Steps:-
1.Launch JMeter: Navigate to the JMeter bin
directory and run jmeter.bat (Windows) or
enter the command JMeter (Linux/Unix).
Create Test Plan:-
In JMeter, select 'Test Plan' in the tree view,
right-click, and add a 'Thread Group'.
Add Recording
Controller:-
Within the 'Thread Group', add a
'Recording Controller' to capture your
interactions.
Add HTTP(S) Test
Script Recorder:-
Add the 'HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder'
under the 'Test Plan'.
Configure
Settings:-
Set the port number to '8080' and provide
the application URL under 'HTTPS Domain'.
Set Target
Controller:-
Ensure the 'Target Controller' is set to 'Use
Recording Controller' or select a specific
controller if using a transaction controller.
Optional
Filtering:-
You can filter URLs to include or exclude
from recording.
Configure Browser
Proxy:-
Set up manual proxy settings in your
browser with address 'localhost' and port
'8080'.
Secure Application
Setup:-
For HTTPS applications, add the 'JMeter
Root CA certificate' to your browser.
Start
Recording:-
Back in JMeter, click 'Start' in the 'HTTP(S)
Test Script Recorder'.
Navigate and
Record:-
Go to your browser, access the application
URL, and follow your desired flow while
JMeter records your interactions.
Stop
Recording:-
Once done, click 'Stop' in the recording bar
or in the 'HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder'.

And that's it! You've successfully recorded


a JMeter script to test your application or
website.
