Hi
Its pretty straight forward to use..
For your example , say you have login.csv with list of username,password
Variable Names --> username,password
You can then use ${username} and ${password} in your tests
Delimiter --> ,
Allow quoted data --> If your usernames or passwords can contain commas then
you have to quote the values
e.g. login.csv should have testuser,"test,password". If thats the case
specify Allow quoted data = true, else you can keep this as false.
Recycle on EOF --> What should JMeter do when it reaches the end of the
file. If recycle is true then it will start again from the first line. If
false , the value of ${username} will remain as <EOF> (configurable). In
your test if you just want to check user login for as many rows as you have
in your csv file, you can have this as false. if you wanted to test say 100
logins but only had say 2 user name /passwords you would keep this as true
so that it would continue the test.
Stop thread on EOF --> If the end of file is reached , should the thread in
jmeter stop?. If true then your test stops, if false then it continues.
Again depends on your test.
Sharing mode --> If you have multiple threads then how is the data shared.
Typically you want this as all threads (or current thread group) so that
each thread will read a different row.
My typical structure is
Thread Group
While Controller (${__javaScript("${MY_VARIABLE}"!="<EOF>")})
Tests (i have to have a if here to check for <EOF> as well)
CSV Data Set Config
Recycle - false
Stop Thread - false
Sharing mode - all threads
