The answer to your prayers are "CVS Data Set Config".
A small explanation for the fields needed....
Filename: the name of the file where the values are.
File encoding: Never used it (don't know what it does) so I always leave it
blank.
Variables Names: Here you write the names of the variables that will represent
your values.
Delimiter: the char that will separate your values.
Recycle & stop Thead should not be a problem if you have as many users as set
of values.
An Example:
The format of the file "usernames.txt" looks like follows:
"
...
Username56,password56
Username57,password57
Username58,password58
Username59,password59
...
"
Then the CVS should look as follows:
Filename: usernames.txt
File Encoding:
Variables Names: USER,PASSWORD
Delimiter: ,
Recycle: true or false
Stop thread: true or false
Now whenever you need to use the username or password you write ${USER} resp
${PASSWORD}
Hope this helps.

Subject: Need to simulate 500 different users/ how to read them from file and
parameterize the script?
Hello everyone,
I need to simulate 500 *different* users logging in and clicking on various
links on a website
I already know how to do a login by using the correct POST parameters.
I have a script where I can simulate one user logging in and going through
the flow of the application.
I need to parameterize the script so that I can simulate and scale up the
test for X number of *different* users (in this case, 500 )
I have the 500 different login id's/passwords required.
Obviously, I would want the JMeter test script to read usernames/passwords
from a file and execute the test.
What is the best way to go about this?
