JMeter has CSV Dataset http://jakarta.apache.org/jmeter/usermanual/component_reference.html#CSV_Data_Set_Config which can be used to read variables from CSV files. The variables can then be used in Samplers and the Response Assertion: http://jakarta.apache.org/jmeter/usermanual/component_reference.html#Response_Assertion I suggest you start by creating a very simple test plan: Thread Group + CSV Dataset (Recycle EOF=false, Stop on EOF=true) + HTTP Sampler + + Response Assertion Contains + + Response Assertion Contains Not Start with fixed strings, and replace them with variables defined in the CSV Dataset. > I have tried to use commercial software, but it can not handle the large > number of URLs I am trying > to hit.
