You have to make the variable name dependent on the iteration count and use __javaScript (or beanshell etc) to read the value . The problem you will run into is how to save the variable data e.g. you could use a User Parameters with a single user and mutliple variables like firstName_1, firstName_2, lastName_1,lastName_2 or you could use BeanShell PreProcess and set data into the vars object, reading from an array(indexed by the current count) in the beanshell script itself
OR you could just let go of your prejudice against having test data external to the script and use a CSV data set config regards deeak On Mon, Jun 8, 2009 at 11:40 AM, Bakul Mukherjee <[email protected]>wrote: > Hi, > > I have a use case where one user is performing the same set of actions > multiple times one after the other and is providing different data sets for > each set of actions. > > Thread Group > | > | > -->Loop or For Each Controller > | > | > --> Action 1 > | > | > --> Action 2 > . > . > . > --> Action N > > So I have to use a single thread with either a loop or for each controller > and each iteration of the loop will use a different set of values for a set > of variables. > Is there any way to achieve this without using CSV Data set or CSV read.
