Hi Frank,
I don't know about GUI's but you could pretty much achieve the same
functionality with batch programming/bash script, Jmeter CLI mode using
parameters and having Jmeter setup to log results to a CVS file then
having a spreadsheet which could pull the results in and graph them the
way you want.
I'm no expert with the last step but it's definitely possible to write a
batch/bash script which users could execute & ask questions and then
trigger Jmeter CLI with the answers passed to it.
Batch example for triggering jmeter passing in a variable which is good
for Windoz -
CALL jmeter_ap\bin\jmeter.bat -n -t test_plan.jmx -Jthreads=%thread_count%
Bash script example which is good for Linux/OSX
jmeter -n -t matrix_tests/Load_testing_v0.3_working.jmx
-Jthreads=$thread_count
So that's triggering Jmeter in your script. Asking the questions you'll
have to do your research on. I don't have an example lying around but
it's definitely possible in both batch and bash scripts. In batch
programming I think CHOICE is a Vista feature that can be used. There
are also batch helper programs which enhance the capabilities of batch
programs [or at least there was back around 1994 when I was first
playing with batch programs].
Bash ask question example -
echo -ne "How many threads? "
read threadcount
In Jmeter to get the value of a property like thread count you would do
this ${__P(thread_count)}
Logging to results to file is just settings in the operator.
I used CALL in the batch program example so execution would return to
the batch program after jmeter closes. At this step you might want to
copy the results somewhere or even open up Excel with the results in it
automatically.
I know this isn't exactly what you are after so if it helps then great
and if it doesn't then good luck.

Hi,
I would like to ask you, if you have some experiences creating simple GUI
with JMeter functionalities.
I want to create it in a very simple way for some non-IT colleges. Idea is
to have 3 Tabbed Panes - after start of GUI, they will see 1st pane and will
be able to set just values like Number of Threads (users) or choose from the
list, which web page to test (I will have pre-defined jmx for each option)
and after clicking Next, it will automatically run the test and switch to
2nd pane, where they will see Graph Results or 3rd pane with Summary Report.
Sorry for bothering you, I could not find it anywhere on the internet or in
some past email threads. If it was already discussed, please link me to some
year/thread name, where I can find it.
I am quite new to Java, for building GUIs I use NetBeans 6.1.
Thanks a lot!
Frank
