Thanks! As I said, I'm new to this, and wasn't aware of the CSV Dataset
Config. Sounds like just the ticket :)

I am a new jmeter user and am using it to test load capabilities on a

We are particularly concerned about our user registration scenarios, in
which new users tend to come in waves. The registration process has
specific steps; 1) submit a form with user info; 2) fill out a survey; 3)
update a "project" form, and 4) make a comment on the project. New
registrants must enter a unique "ticket" number which can only be used once,
each user is permissioned to only fill out the survey once, can only update
their own project form, can comment on any project once logged in.
I am working my way through setting up jmeter to fully process 1 user as
above. Almost done with that. I am aware that there's some import facility
to load data for the test.
CSV Dataset Config can be used to provide the ticket data.
I am thinking I will have to load each ticket
registration as a separate test; so, a few hundred different tests, each
with one user and not repeated. Am I thinking about this right, on the
right track?
Why have lots of tests? Why not use a variable for the ticket and vary
the data at run-time?
I am concerned with how jmeter handles sessions, cookies, etc. Since each
user has a unique ticket number that can only be used once, then must fill
out a survey once and only once, update a specific project page, does jmeter
track this correctly?
JMeter does not do any automatic tracking.
If you provide a Cookie Manager it will handle cookies (don't use
auto-redirect unless you are sure that redirections don't set
cookies).
If the application uses another means for session tracking you may
need to use URL rewriting or a Regex Extractor to keep track of the
session.
CSV Dataset will ensure each thread gets its own ticket.
Will I need to include a logout request at the end so
that the "user" tracking doesn't get confused?
That depends on your application.

I suggest you experiment with a simple Test Plan using CSV Dataset and
the Debug Sampler - or the Java Request Sampler can be used to display
variables.
Thanks
