JMeter Turorials

JMeter is one of the most prominent load testing tool in the field of performance testing. JMeter can be used to carry out performance testing not just for web but also web services, database, LDAP, SMTP, POP3 etc. There is tons of JMeter documentation available online, but if you are beginning with JMeter or Load Testing in general then you might be overwhelmed with the amount of information available online. Following JMeter training video tutorial series tries to make it easy to learn JMeter. This JMeter training video tutorial series focuses on most important aspects of JMeter along with code examples for JMeter. Given that technology changes with time so as the JMeter hence following JMeter training series is expanding with time. So what are you waiting for? Hope on to learning JMeter


Before watching JMeter training videos, you may like to read following tutorials on Performance Testing -



JMeter project file used in tutorial projects can be downloaded as raw version and then you can import it in your JMeter test plan. Other JMeter Project Files are also available for download.

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
