The very common scenario is, some pages need logon before load. How to do load testing for such pages?
For example: http://10.17.0.66/Search?tab=contact
Below are the steps I used:
1. Add Http Cookie Manager for this Thread Group
2. Fill in right fileds in HTTP Request
Name : input what you want
Server Name or IP :10.17.0.66 without http:// and /
Path
I won’t be successful if you directly input /Search?tab=contact .
you should input /Account/LogOn?ReturnUrl=%2fSearch%3ftab%3dcontact&tab=contact
How to get this link , try to navigate the target page without logon , you will get it
Method:Most of log on functionality use form to transfer parameters , so you should chose post method
Parameters you post: add parameters for username and password.
how to get to name of parameters, ask F12. hey, you know that. right?
3. Basically, the upper two steps is enough to start load testing with log on.
But, to be a responsible person, you have to make sure it really works. So add a listener called ‘View Result Tree’, in Response data page, to check if the server response as you expected.
