Processing JMeter Results using awk

awk is Pattern scanning and processing language. Its name is derived from its authors “Aho, Weinberger, and Kernighan”.
Some of its features are:
  • Awk views a text file as records and fields
  • Awk has variables, conditionals and loops
  • Awk has arithmetic and string operators
  • Awk can generate formatted reports
Syntax:
awk '/search pattern1/ {Actions}
     /search pattern2/ {Actions}' file
Herein :
  • search pattern is a regular expression.
  • Actions – statement (s) to be performed.
  • several patterns and actions can be used in Awk.
  • file is the Input file.
  • Single quotes around program avoids shell interpreting any special characters.
Let’s Consider following jmeter summary file -


summary +    41 in  15.4s =    2.7/s Avg:  2234 Min:   383 Max:  6974 Err: 0 (0.00%)
summary +    57 in  21.5s =    2.6/s Avg:  2548 Min:   618 Max:  4528 Err: 0 (0.00%)
summary =    98 in  32.5s =    3.0/s Avg:  2416 Min:   383 Max:  6974 Err: 0 (0.00%)
summary +   108 in  21.8s =    5.0/s Avg:  1291 Min:   229 Max:  6317 Err: 0 (0.00%)
summary =   206 in  52.5s =    3.9/s Avg:  1827 Min:   229 Max:  6974 Err: 0 (0.00%)
Let’s assume that we want to print lines where avg response time is more than 2500ms
awk '{if($9>2500){print $0}}' file.txt


Herein $9 is the the 9th field in log file and $0 denotes all of record
Hence we would get following output -
summary +    57 in  21.5s =    2.6/s Avg:  2548 Min:   618 Max:  4528 Err: 0 (0.00%)
Or printing the records with avg response time more than 2400ms
awk '{if($9>2400){print $0}}' file.txt


And we would get following output -


summary +    57 in  21.5s =    2.6/s Avg:  2548 Min:   618 Max:  4528 Err: 0 (0.00%)
summary =    98 in  32.5s =    3.0/s Avg:  2416 Min:   383 Max:  6974 Err: 0 (0.00%)
Find the total number of record in jmeter.log file -


wc file.txt | awk ‘{print $0}’


Consider that you are logging custom variables on Jmeter log file (i.e. email address etc) and now you want to figure out which email address caused higher latency. Can you guess how you can achieve it?

Return only first or last element from webelements collection

Note: If you are new to java and selenium then start with selenium java training videos .     We often come across situation when there are multiple elements on a page and we probably like to exercise only a few of them using selenium webdriver. May be just first and last element. For example on a search result page we may like to click on only first and last link and not all. This is when Iterables API comes handy. (By the way I am assuming that you have already completed watching selenium training videos :)). Once we have collection of web element then we can use Iterables to get only first or last element as following - Consider that we fetch collection of element as - List< WebElement > webElements = getDriver().findElements(By. id ( "htmlID" ));   Now we can get the first web element from this collection as -  WebElement firstElement = Iterables. getFirst (webElements,  getDriver().findElement(By. id ( "defaultElement" )));   Herein second

Using chrome console to test xPath and css selectors

Note: If you are new to java and selenium then start with selenium java training videos .       Since the advent of selenium there have been many plugin to test xPath / css selectors but you don’t need any of them if you have chrome browser. Using Chrome console you can test both xPath and css selectors. Launch website to be tested in chrome browser and hit F-12 and you would see chrome console opened in lower pane of application - Hit escape key and console would open another pane to write element locators - And now you can start writing xPath or css selectors in chrome console and test them - The syntax for writing css id - $$(“ ”) And hit the enter key. If your expression is right then html snippet of the application element corresponding to the css selector would be displayed - If you mouse over the html snippet in chrome console then it would highlight the corresponding element in application - If you want to clean console of previously wri
