Execution Order in JMeter
As a Systems Engineer at Tata Consultancy Services, I deliver exceptional software products for mobile and web platforms, using agile methodologies and robust quality maintenance. I am experienced in performance testing, automation testing, API testing, and manual testing, with various tools and technologies such as Jmeter, Azure LoadTest, Selenium, Java, OOPS, Maven, TestNG, and Postman.
I have successfully developed and executed detailed test plans, test cases, and scripts for Android and web applications, ensuring high-quality standards and user satisfaction. I have also demonstrated my proficiency in manual REST API testing with Postman, as well as in end-to-end performance and automation testing using Jmeter and selenium with Java, TestNG and Maven. Additionally, I have utilized Azure DevOps for bug tracking and issue management.
How does JMeter's execution work?
JMeter is a powerful open-source tool for the Performance, Load, and Stress testing of web applications. To fully understand its potential, it's important to know the order in which JMeter's executions work.
While executing a test plan in JMeter, it follows a specific execution order:
Configuration Element
Pre Processor
Timers
Samplers
Post Processor
Assertions
Listeners
The execution order within a controller is sequential, from top to bottom. If there are multiple samplers within a controller, then they will be executed in the order in which they appear in the test plan.
A thorough understanding of the execution order in JMeter is crucial for designing an effective and well-structured test plan and a well-structured test plan ensures accurate performance test results and identifies areas for improvement in web applications for better performance.
