   ### The documentation URL
   
   https://jmeter.apache.org/usermanual/get-started.html
   
   ### Feedback
   
   Here is my situation:
   
   I have a list of URLs in a file. Imagine the file looks something like this, 
but it would be trivial to change it to any reasonable input format:
   
   ```
   GET https://hostname.com/api/endpoint1?client=client1
   GET https://hostname.com/api/endpoint2?client=client2
   POST https://hostname.com/api/endpoint3?client=client1
   GET https://hostname.com/api/endpoint4?client=client4
   .......many more such examples
   ```
   
   I wanted to use JMeter to generate a script that, roughly speaking, hits 
each of these URLs in order so that I could upload the script to a cloud-based 
load testing tool. If I could get it to do something fancy like let me 
configure the hostname with a variable, or adjust the timing or parallelization 
dynamically, that would have been great. But for a minimum proof-of-concept 
here, a script that executes each request one at a time in order would have 
been perfectly adequate.
   
   This feels to me like, roughly, the minimum possible thing I could be asking 
from your load testing tool. If load testing tools had a "Hello World" tier of 
basic intro example, it seems like "make a series of requests in order" should 
be it.
   
   Your docs could not be less approachable for questions like this. I'm sure 
there are people coming to this tool who already know 95% of the functionality 
of this tool and are just looking for clarification on how to import a Java 
library, or whatever, but you should consider possibly providing information 
for the rest of us too. I've spent too long writing this up already when I 
could be looking for different, less newbie-hostile tools to use, but in 
conclusion, would it kill you to write up something like a step-by-step guide 
to building an example script?
