Yashas-N-R opened a new issue, #6416:
URL: https://github.com/apache/jmeter/issues/6416
### Use case
Problem:
In many testing workflows, functional tests (using Selenium or similar
tools) and performance tests (using JMeter or other load-testing tools) are
handled separately. This separation makes it harder to reuse work done in
functional testing for performance testing.
Use Case:
By recording API calls made during Selenium browser interactions, this
plugin bridges the gap between UI functional testing and backend performance
testing.
Teams can automate their functional workflows in Selenium and automatically
replicate those workflows as API test plans in JMeter for performance testing.
### Possible solution
The plugin workflow will involve:
Selenium Automation:
Use Selenium to open the application in Firefox (or other browsers),
interact with the UI (clicks, scrolling, form submissions, etc.), and perform
actions that trigger API calls.
Integrating JMeter's Proxy Recorder:
Leverage JMeter's HTTP(S) Proxy Recorder (ProxyControl) to intercept all
HTTP/HTTPS traffic from the browser.
Configure Selenium WebDriver with a proxy pointing to JMeter's Proxy
Recorder (localhost:8888) to route its traffic through JMeter.
Dynamic Conversion of API Requests:
Parse intercepted HTTP/HTTPS requests and dynamically convert them into
JMeter HTTP Samplers (e.g., HTTPSamplerProxy) that are added to the Recording
Controller in JMeter.
Output: A JMeter Test Plan:
All requests are captured and added to a JMeter Test Plan in real-time. This
test plan can then be used for performance or load testing with multiple
virtual users.
### Possible workarounds
Start JMeter’s Proxy Recorder:
Open JMeter, add an HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder.
Configure the Proxy Server to listen on localhost:8888 (or another port of
your choice).
Ensure the recorder's target controller is set to your Recording Controller.
Manually Configure the Proxy in Selenium:
Configure Selenium’s WebDriver proxy settings to use JMeter’s recorder. A
dummy Java example:
Proxy proxy = new Proxy();
proxy.setHttpProxy("localhost:8888");
proxy.setSslProxy("localhost:8888");
FirefoxOptions options = new FirefoxOptions();
options.setProxy(proxy);
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(options);
driver.get("https://example.com";);
// Perform interactions with the page
WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.id("button"));
element.click();
Automate and Record API Traffic:
As you interact with the browser through Selenium, the HTTP(S) Test Script
Recorder captures and converts the API traffic into HTTP Samplers stored in the
Recording Controller.
Generate and Save the Test Plan:
Once done, save the Recording Controller’s content as a .jmx file. This
becomes your test plan for API load testing.
