<tr><td>
<blockquote>
<p>Your hardware capabilities as well as the Test Plan design will both impact the number of threads you can effectively
run with JMeter.  The number will also depend on how fast your server is (a faster server
 makes JMeter work harder since it returns a response quicker).  As with any Load Testing tool, if you don't correctly size
 the number of threads, you will face the &quot;Coordinated Omission&quot; problem which can give you wrong or inaccurate results.
 If you need large-scale load testing, consider running multiple non-GUI JMeter instances on multiple machines 
 using distributed mode (or not). When using distributed mode the result file is combined on the Controller node, if
 using multiple autonomous instances, the sample result files can be combined for subsequent analysis.
For testing how JMeter performs on a given platform, the JavaTest sampler can be used.
It does not require any network access so can give some idea as to the maximum throughput achievable.
</p><p>
JMeter has an option to delay thread creation until the thread starts sampling, i.e. after any thread group delay and the ramp-up time for the thread itself.
This allows for a very large total number of threads, provided that not too many are active concurrently.

</td></tr>
<tr><td>
<blockquote>
<p>Refer to <a href="../usermanual/component_reference.html#HTTP(S)_Test_Script_Recorder">HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder</a> for details on setting up the
recorder. The most important thing to do is filter out all requests you aren't
interested in.  For instance, there's no point in recording image requests (JMeter can
be instructed to download all images on a page - see <a href="../usermanual/component_reference.html#HTTP_Request">HTTP Request</a>).
These will just clutter your test plan.  Most likely, there is an extension all your files
share, such as <tt class="code">.jsp</tt>, <tt class="code">.asp</tt>, <tt class="code">.php</tt>, <tt class="code">.html</tt> or the like.
These you should &quot;<tt class="code">include</tt>&quot; by entering &quot;<tt class="code">.*\.jsp</tt>&quot; as an &quot;Include Pattern&quot;. </p><p>Alternatively, you can exclude images by entering &quot;<tt class="code">.*\.gif</tt>&quot; as an &quot;Exclude Pattern&quot;.
Depending on your application, this may or may not be a better way to go.  You may
also have to exclude stylesheets, javascript files, and other included files.  Test
out your settings to verify you are recording what you want, and then erase and start
fresh.</p><p>The HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder expects to find a ThreadGroup element with a Recording Controller
under it where it will record HTTP Requests to.  This conveniently packages all your samples under one
controller, which can be given a name that describes the test case.</p><p>Now, go through the steps of a Test Case.  If you have no pre-defined test cases, use
JMeter to record your actions to define your test cases.  Once you have finished a
definite series of steps, save the entire test case in an appropriately named file.  Then, wipe
clean and start a new test case.  By doing this, you can quickly record a large number of
test case &quot;rough drafts&quot;.</p><p>One of the most useful features of the HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder is that you can abstract out
certain common elements from the recorded samples.  By defining some
<a href="functions.html">user-defined variables</a> at the Test Plan level or in
<a href="../usermanual/component_reference.html#User_Defined_Variables">User Defined Variables</a> elements, you can have JMeter automatically
replace values in you recorded samples.  For instance, if you are testing an app on
server &quot;<tt class="code">xxx.example.com</tt>&quot;, then you can define a variable called &quot;<tt class="code">server</tt>&quot; with the value of
&quot;<tt class="code">xxx.example.com</tt>&quot;, and anyplace that value is found in your recorded samples will be replaced
with &quot;<tt class="code">${server}</tt>&quot;.

</p>


</p><p>
If JMeter does not record any samples, check that the browser really is using the proxy.
If the browser works OK even if JMeter is not running, then the browser cannot be using the proxy.
Some browsers ignore proxy settings for <tt class="code">localhost</tt> or <tt class="code">127.0.0.1</tt>; try using the local hostname or IP instead.
</p><p>
The error &quot;<tt class="code">unknown_ca</tt>&quot; probably means that you are trying to record HTTPS, and the browser has not accepted the
JMeter Proxy server certificate.

<p>
Some test plans need to use different values for different users/threads. 
For example, you might want to test a sequence that requires a unique login for each user.
This is easy to achieve with the facilities provided by JMeter.
</p><p>For example:</p><ul>
<li>Create a text file containing the user names and passwords, separated by commas.
Put this in the same directory as your test plan.
</li>
<li>
Add a CSV DataSet configuration element to the test plan.
Name the variables <tt class="code">USER</tt> and <tt class="code">PASS</tt>.
</li>
<li>
Replace the login name with <tt class="code">${USER}</tt> and the password with <tt class="code">${PASS}</tt> on the appropriate
samplers

<p>
Some suggestions on reducing resource usage.
</p><ul>
<li>Use non-GUI mode: <tt class="code">jmeter -n -t test.jmx -l test.jtl</tt></li>
<li>Use as few Listeners as possible; if using the <tt class="code">-l</tt> flag as above they can all be deleted or disabled.</li>
<li>Don't use &quot;View Results Tree&quot; or &quot;View Results in Table&quot; listeners during the load test, use them only during scripting phase to debug your scripts.</li>
<li>Rather than using lots of similar samplers,
use the same sampler in a loop, and use variables (CSV Data Set) to vary the sample.
[The Include Controller does not help here, as it adds all the test elements in the file to the test plan.]
</li>
<li>Don't use functional mode</li>
<li>Use CSV output rather than XML</li>
<li>Only save the data that you need</li>
<li>Use as few Assertions as possible</li>
<li>Use the most performing scripting language (see JSR223 section)</li>
</ul><p>
If your test needs large amounts of data - particularly if it needs to be randomised - create the test data in a file
that can be read with CSV Dataset. This avoids wasting resources at run-time.

In the above example, the server will be started, and will listen on ports <tt class="code">9000</tt> and <tt class="code">9001</tt>.
Port <tt class="code">9000</tt> will be used for http access. Port <tt class="code">9001</tt> will be used for telnet access.
The <tt class="code">startup.bsh</tt> file will be processed by the server, and can be used to define various functions and set up variables.
The startup file defines methods for setting and printing JMeter and system properties.
This is what you should see in the JMeter console:

As a practical example, assume you have a long-running JMeter test running in non-GUI mode,
and you want to vary the throughput at various times during the test.
The test-plan includes a Constant Throughput Timer which is defined in terms of a property,
e.g. <tt class="code">${__P(throughput)}</tt>.
The following BeanShell commands could be used to change the test:

<p>
It's quite hard to write and test scripts as functions.
However, JMeter has the JSR223 samplers which can be used instead with any language supporting it. 
We advise using <a href="http://www.groovy-lang.org/">Apache Groovy</a> or any language that supports the <tt class="code"><a href="https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/javax/script/Compilable.html">Compilable</a></tt> interface of JSR223.
</p><p>
Create a simple Test Plan containing the JSR223 Sampler and Tree View Listener.
Code the script in the sampler script pane, and test it by running the test.
If there are any errors, these will show up in the Tree View and <tt class="code">jmeter.log</tt> file.
Also the result of running the script will show up as the response.
</p><p>
Once the script is working properly, it can be stored as a variable on the Test Plan.
The script variable can then be used to create the function call.
For example, suppose a Groovy script is stored in the variable <tt class="code">RANDOM_NAME</tt>.
The function call can then be coded as <tt class="code">${__groovy(${RANDOM_NAME})}</tt>.
There is no need to escape any commas in the script,
because the function call is parsed before the variable's value is interpolated.

<p>
Often it is useful to be able to re-run the same test with different settings.
For example, changing the number of threads or loops, or changing a hostname.
</p><p>
One way to do this is to define a set of variables on the Test Plan, and then use those variables in the test elements.
For example, one could define the variable <tt class="code">LOOPS=10</tt>, and refer to that in the Thread Group as <tt class="code">${LOOPS}</tt>.
To run the test with 20 loops, just change the value of the <tt class="code">LOOPS</tt> variable on the Test Plan.
</p><p>
This quickly becomes tedious if you want to run lots of tests in non-GUI mode.
One solution to this is to define the Test Plan variable in terms of a property,
for example <tt class="code">LOOPS=${__P(loops,10))}</tt>.
This uses the value of the property &quot;<tt class="code">loops</tt>&quot;, defaulting to <tt class="code">10</tt> if the property is not found.
The &quot;<tt class="code">loops</tt>&quot; property can then be defined on the JMeter command-line:

<p>
Variables are local to a thread; a variable set in one thread cannot be read in another.
This is by design. For variables that can be determined before a test starts, see 
<a href="#parameterising_tests">Parameterising Tests</a> (above). 
If the value is not known until the test starts, there are various options:
<ul>
<li>Store the variable as a property - properties are global to the JMeter instance</li>
<li>Write variables to a file and re-read them.</li>
<li>Use the <tt class="code">bsh.shared</tt> namespace - see <a href="#bsh_variables">above</a></li>
<li>Write your own Java classes</li>
