Building an Advanced Web Test Plan<a class="sectionlink" href="#building" title="Link to here">¶</a></h1> |
| <p>In this section, you will learn how to create advanced |
| <a href="build-test-plan.html">Test Plans</a> to test a Web site.</p> |
| |
| <p>For an example of a basic Test Plan, see |
| <a href="build-web-test-plan.html">Building a Web Test Plan</a>.</p></div><div class="section"><h1 id="session_url_rewriting">6.1 Handling User Sessions With URL Rewriting<a class="sectionlink" href="#session_url_rewriting" title="Link to here">¶</a></h1> |
| <p>If your web application uses URL rewriting rather than cookies to save session information, |
| then you'll need to do a bit of extra work to test your site.</p> |
| <p>To respond correctly to URL rewriting, JMeter needs to parse the HTML |
| received from the server and retrieve the unique session ID. Use the appropriate <a href="../usermanual/component_reference.html#HTTP_URL_Re-writing_Modifier">HTTP URL Re-writing Modifier</a> |
| to accomplish this. Simply enter the name of your session ID parameter into the modifier, and it |
| will find it and add it to each request. If the request already has a value, it will be replaced. |
| If "Cache Session Id?" is checked, then the last found session id will be saved, |
| and will be used if the previous HTTP sample does not contain a session id. |
| </p> |
| |
| <div class="example"><div class="title">URL Rewriting Example<a class="sectionlink" href="#url_rewriting_example" title="Link to here">¶</a></div> |
| <p>Download <a href="../demos/URLRewritingExample.jmx">this example</a>. In Figure 1 is shown a |
| test plan using URL rewriting. Note that the URL Re-writing modifier is added to the SimpleController, |
| thus assuring that it will only affect requests under that SimpleController.</p> |

| <p>In Figure 2, we see the URL Re-writing modifier GUI, which just has a field for the user to specify |
| the name of the session ID parameter. There is also a checkbox for indicating that the session ID should |
| be part of the path (separated by a ";"), rather than a request parameter</p> |

| </div><div class="section"><h1 id="header_manager">6.2 Using a Header Manager<a class="sectionlink" href="#header_manager" title="Link to here">¶</a></h1> |
| <p>The <a href="../usermanual/component_reference.html#HTTP_Header_Manager">HTTP Header Manager</a> lets you customize what information |
| JMeter sends in the HTTP request header. This header includes properties like "User-Agent", |
| "Pragma", "Referer", etc.</p> |
| <p>The <a href="../usermanual/component_reference.html#HTTP_Header_Manager">HTTP Header Manager</a>, like the <a href="../usermanual/component_reference.html#HTTP_Cookie_Manager">HTTP Cookie Manager</a>, |
| should probably be added at the Thread Group level, unless for some reason you wish to |
| specify different headers for the different <a href="../usermanual/component_reference.html#HTTP_Request">HTTP Request</a> objects in |
| your test.</p> |
