Can someone explain sebb-2's answer in terms that a non-programmer who's relatively new to JMeter can understand? Preferably with pictures? ;)
This is exactly what I need to do - go through all the links on my very large ecommerce site. My developer wants to use JMeter rather than a simple link checker (like Xenu) so that we can measure the performance of the server as the program gets deeper into the links and more product pages are cached, etc; as well as give us more control over how quickly the requests are sent and in what order, etc. Is sebb-2 saying that you have to provide all of the links in the first HTTP Request, for example maybe using a list in a text file; or do you just need to provide one link that is an example or something? sebb-2 wrote: > > Thread Group > + Http Request containing links > + Http Request - host=.*, path=.* > + + Link Parser > > The Link Parser needs to match the wild-card URL in the second request > against the links in the first request. > > On 20/06/07, Richard Martin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> Hello, >> >> I'm trying to use Jmeter to stress test a intermediary proxy to a site, >> actually it will be used for many sites.
