Recorded test plan does not work

Question

I use jmeter to record the requests and then perform a performance test.

After I've recorded all the requests with proxy server and they contain post form, I run these test-cases, but I found the post form not work: it can not create a record in website's database automatically.

But before that i used webload and everything was ok.

What's the problem? What can i do to solve it?

Answer 1

1. Does your JMeter test contain an HTTP cookie manager?

Answer 2

The built in proxy recorder of JMeter may create problems in case your application requires cookies and/or sessions to allow access to content.

You might want to try Blazemeter. Blazemeter has an extension in Google Chrome. You can record your test script using this extension as you browse through your application. Once you are done, export the test script in .JMX format from the extension (you will have to be logged in to Blazemeter for this). Open that as test plan in JMeter. Make any changes required in the test plan and run your test!
