I'm currently trying to create a test-plan with JMeter version 1.8 which would have a parameter that gets its value from a list of potentially thousands of values.
So for example my URL may look like this: http://www.myurl.com/application.cgi?searchstring=value The string 'value' would then be replaced by a value taken from a list (in memory, from file etc). So if I had a file that looks like... ---START OF FILE--- jim jane bill [thousands of additional lines] ---END OF FILE--- On the first iteration the URL sent would appear like: http://www.myurl.com/application.cgi?searchstring=jim The second: http://www.myurl.com/application.cgi?searchstring=jane ...and so on where this list would likely contain thousands of unique values. The closest I've found to this is using a counter where its numeric value is a part of the parameter value generated. This obviously only allows me to change the counter value (instead of increment through a list of values). The brute force way to accomplish this would be to create an HTTP Request Default node for every variation (by copying the XML or manually entering each node). This does not accomplish what I need. I'm new to JMeter but I feel like I'm on the fringe of JMeter's functionality. My gut feeling is that what I'm describing would be accomplished with a combination of using the said counter and creating my own Config Element 'Java Sample.'
