Hi, I have a testing requirement I'm not quite sure how to fulfill. We have a large stream of recorded HTTP requests to our service that we want to replay to do capacity testing. We have a mix of APIs and for most of them we simply want to replay exactly what is in the input file. However, for a few APIs, we need to insert a corresponding service call immediately preceding the API call and then use the response in the original request.
For example: API insertN requires an id parameter which the client would have obtained from API getNewN. Our recorded stream of calls has old, invalid id numbers for all of the insert calls. If the input stream we have is like this (assume all id numbers <100 are old and invalid): insert1(id=10); insert2(id=20); insert3(id=30); We can't replay these exactly because ids 10,20 and 30 already exist in our database. What we need is: getNew1; <- returns id=100 insert1(id=100); <- id 10 replaced with 100 dynamically getNew2; <- returns id=110 insert2(id=110); <- id 20 replaced with 110 getNew3; <- returns id=120 insert3(id=120); <- id 30 replaced with 120 I think I could do this if these were the only APIs we had in our test run, but the insert calls are intermixed with many other APIs that we want to replay without modifying. Can I do this utilizing existing JMeter functionality or is it likely that I'll have to modify some code? thanks, Rabi Lahiri
