Thanks for your reply. I am much more interested in the many users' "requests ordering", so I want them intermingled, it is also allright to playback this test plan as a single user (as a testplan user), so likely I will set variables to establish the current user as "testplan" user. It is a regression test, so pretty much we will compare databases, following this steps: 1) backup test data base; 2) start jmeter with http proxy server to recording requests from about 20 users; 3) at the end of a day, stop jmeter; 4) restore database to regression test database; 5) playback the testplan pointing it to the regression test application server; 6) compare the databases (test X regression test) I am not concerned about the users timestamp here, I want to see whether functionalities worked fine and it results in the same records state. However, I want to start jmeter and the Http proxy server by command line (shell script) and flush the test plan automatically. Any ideas?
