Re: Is their a way to randomize URL selection?
Hi Deepak, What I meant is that in your test plan example there wasn't a Random Controller anymore. I've tested like this and it works for me too: Thread Group 1 (1 thread 1 Loop) Loop Controller ( 5) Module Controller --- Thread Group 2 --Recording -- Simple Thread Group 2 (Disabled) Recording Controller Simple Controller Random Controller Req 1 Req 2 Surprinsingly, because if there isn't a Recording Controller there, and just the Simple Controller with the Random Controller - weird stuff still happens.

Re: Is their a way to randomize URL selection?
Hi you could do this with BSH, You'd have to write some java code that can get 6 strings from 250 randomly from a file and set those as variables that can be iterated over(using forEach , your variables would have the names like url_1 , url_2 and the foreach would iterate over url , you'd just need one sampler).

Re: Is their a way to randomize URL selection?
You should check out the switch controller too. You can add random weighted
choice of children by putting the following snippet into the switch value
field:
${__BeanShell(random = new Random();int[] values =
{0\,0\,0\,0\,0\,0\,0\,0\,0\,0\,0\,0\,1\,1\,1\,1\,1\,2\,2\,3};return
values[random.nextInt(values.length)];)}
this will randomly choose a child element to execute, with the following
weights:
1. child 0: 60%
2. child 1: 25%
3. child 2: 10%
4. child 3: 5%

Re: Is their a way to randomize URL selection?
Hi guys, I was experimenting with an idea that doesn't require coding and found a little bug: Make a test plan like this thread group (threads = 1, ramp = 1, loops = 1) +loop controller (5 times) \- module controller that refferences to the random controller bellow +recording controller \- random controller (under which samples are recorded with the proxy server) \- http sampler 1 \- http sampler 2 +results tree the actual results of this running with one thread was 10 samples in the results tree. it looks like the random controller acted like a random order controller in this case. the same issue occurs if the module controller is directly in the thread group and the loops = 5. same happens to you?

For background activity when testing specific things, I would create a LoadRunner script in which a Vuser viewed, say, six different pages. I would then parameterize the six URLs, and on each occurrence a URL would be chosen randomly from a file that contained the 250 most popular URLs on the site. In JMeter, I could use a ramdom controller with 250 samplers (one for each URL) under it, and loop through ten times, but the 250 samplers seems too unwieldy. Better, I could have six samplers, and (I think) use the StringFromFile function to grab a URL on each occurrence - however, StringFromFile reads lines from a file sequentially. Is there a relatively efficient way to perform the URL ramdomization I'd like, without having huge numbers of samplers or multiple data files?
