Jmeter: Creates multiple records for single user

Question

I am new to Jmeter. Please help me. I am trying to automate a scenario which will login to application with my username and password and then logout. My web application does not use session id for logins. It just uses username/password/unique cookie every time.

I recorded this script and put in test plan. On executing it, Jmeter creates hundreds of records in DB with same user name and timestamp.

How do I avoid this happening. Please help.

Answer 1

You probable have set multiple thread users.

Under Thread Group change

• Number of Threads (users) to 1.
• Ramp-Up Period (in seconds) to 1.
• Loop Count to 1

Answer 2

You need to send different user name and timestamp each time so use:

1. random string for user name for example ${__RandomString(10,abcdefg)}

2. ${__time()} for timestamp
