Question

How to test 100 different websites (from DMOZ) using jmeter?

I think it can be done by integrating jmeter with a script. Basically the script is to tell jmeter to read the URLs from a text or csv file and changing the http request sampler to the URLs from the file to run the test and then save the test result to a file.

Any idea?

Answer 1

You can possibly implement this as per the following points:

1. Prepare your test-urls in csv-file, e.g. in the following format:

url1
url2
...
urlN

2. Use schema for your script as below:

Thread Group
    . . .
    While Controller
    Condition: ${__javaScript("${testURL}"!="<EOF>",)} // read csv-file until the EOF 
        CSV Data Set Config
        Filename: [path to your csv-file with test-urls]
        Variable Names: testURL
        Recycle on EOF? False
        Stop thread on EOF? True
        Sharing mode: Current thread group
            HTTP Request // your http call
            Server Name or IP: ${testURL} // use variable with extracted URL
        . . .

3. To retain test-results you can use e.g. Save Responses to a file or configure Sample Result Save Configuration for any of the jmeter’s out-of-the-box listeners.
