deepak, thanks for the clarification.
patty Re: Random testing feasible? Deepak Shetty to: JMeter Users List 07/30/2010 11:25 AM Please respond to "JMeter Users List" In your case with 20 pages , if you are willing to create 20 samplers , then yes you could group these under a Random Order Controller. However when you use something like a CSV file (so you have one sampler but the path to the sampler varies with each iteration) you cannot use a Random order controller. Random order Controllers are useful when you have journeys that you can vary (e.g. one set of pages is user searches catalog, another is user checks out data etc) regards deepak On Fri, Jul 30, 2010 at 11:19 AM, <patty.w...@sybase.com> wrote: > > Deepak, > > thank you.
