Jmeter use csv file read test data

Recently a colleague encountered problems to build a batch of test data in the testing process, these data are often the same document, but with different contents of the documents, if it is more time-consuming manual creation. Then we use jmeter the csv file to read the test data is the perfect solution to this problem.

Today, we use the open API blog to park for example, the following interface information

获取新闻内容

Url: http://wcf.open.cnblogs.com/news/item/{CONTENTID}

HTTP Method: GET

First, we create a CSV file, and then our batch testing data CONTENTID (News Id) into the past:

Then we add the test plan for the arrangement of elements - "CSV data file settings"
steps: Open jmeter -> Add Thread Group -> Add Original Configuration -> CSV data file settings

Adding an HTTP request, we will write to test the interface into
steps: Right Thread Group -> Add -> Sampler -> HTTP Request

Everything is ready in the following figure:

We set the number of threads and number of cycles start (here I set up a thread loop 15 times):

Then view the results tree:

CONTENTID will find that the data is already CSV data file, and the corresponding response data is the content Id.

Finally, we return to the beginning of the problem, make a lot of different aspects of the same documents. We use the CSV file to store different content, use jmeter cycle call interface to create data, so do not go manually create documents, and save time and effort.
