I did some profiling of the new log parser sampler last week and the performance was decent. the current parser I wrote is fairly efficient, since it uses bufferedReader to read one line at a time. Mike's comments are accurate and new sampler wouldn't be able to handle assertions and so on.
In the past I wrote a tool to convert netscape log to jmeter requests, but I ran into a problem because loading 5-10K requests in a test plan requires 1gig of ram. If you're dealing with a large number of unique requests to simulate production traffic, you may be better off going with the log parser route. If not, a simple conversion from CSV to jmeter requests is most likely the best option. good luck. peter --- Dan Yuen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > We are considering moving our application testing > over > to jMeter and are looking at how we would need to > modify jMeter to fit our company needs. > Specifically, > we have a test generation tool that produces a csv > file which contains, among other things, inputs for > test cases (which I'm thinking would convert into > Samplers) and expected outputs (which I'm thinking > would get converted into Assertions for those > Samplers). > > What would be the best way to convert the csv data > into Samplers and Assertions?
