Hi All, Apologies if this has been answered already, but I've had a good search and can only find things similar, but different to my particular conundrum.
The issue I'm having is with regard to passing parameters between thread groups; however the parameters are created as a result of the HTTP requests. The workflow/scenario can be imagined as follows: Thread groups: A - to create a customer and return its identifier B - to add a 'function' for that customer, using the identifier. A and B need to be run independantly of each other to allow performance testing of specific areas, but also in a synchronous manner. Thread Group A -> Post HTTP Requests and 'create a client'. This is identified with a unique ID/client reference number returned by the serve -> Pass this client reference to Thread Group B -> Thread Group B -> Adds, for instance, client details / preferences for instance for the cilent created by Thread Group A, with the client ref as a parameter that's passed through the URL. The 'Thread Group B' client preferences/details are read from a randomly accessed file to symbolise a set of requests from the internet website, so have various values. My ideas for solving this are as follows (thread group A is referred to as (A), and B as (B) ): 1). Use 'Assertations' from (A) to regex the response, and store the client reference in a variable that is then read by (B). However, is this possible and even if it is, there are potentially 000's of customer requests that could happen! 2). Somehow write the results of (A) into a file, which is then read by (B), and queried/extrapolated (via post-/pre- processors) and used as a variable for the (B) requests. Is this a good approach to follow? Can anyone provide any pointers as to how to go about it? I've tried in vain for a couple of days and not really got anywhere! There is the potential for a number of variables to get passed/used like this - how does JMeter cope? Thanks for the replies!
