The JMeter Proxy server was originally designed for use with a single browser (though of course that can make parallel requests). As such, generally the person running the browser also runs the JMeter Proxy and can save the test plan as needed. Also, JMeter does not distinguish the source of the browser requests, so the requests from different testers will be intermingled in the test plan. In general, this won't work on replay unless all the requests are completely independent of each other. In any event, the resulting test plan is likely to be very large and difficult to understand and maintain. I would suggest using some other kind of recording proxy - or the server logs - to establish what needs to be tested and the relative request frequencies, and then use that to generate and parameterise a test plan. > Regards, > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] > For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
