with HTTP Request element - can we test SOAP API as well ?
Hi Raghav - Thank you so much for your tutorial regarding this topic. Could you please provide more info regarding importing client certificate for SOAP
Hi sir IAM able to get the result by using normal http request. But I gave parameters like q and app I'd and got the result. So what is the need of using soap rpc request in specific? IAM so thankful to ur tutorials
Hi Raghav, this one was very informative. I didn't know how to load test the API. I have a question, how do we load test an API where we must first login as an Admin user to get the same results you showed us here. I test APIs after logging into a Login api as an Admin. And the bearer access token is only valid for 120 seconds. Lemme know if you could help.

You are an awesome teacher. The way you are teaching is simplified and understandable. I am learning new things in Performance Testing and always preferred your tutorials because it's free with great content. Thanks, Raghav
You're very welcome Samir. Humbled
It's a nice video. Hope it will help me in future. I am a technical analyst at CG and I am currently on bench. I once heard about this JMeater and so I thought I should watch some video and your video come as first search results. Please discuss the scope of it too. Thank you
Sure, Love, Can check this ua-cam.com/video/f3K9gWKpY2c/v-deo.html
Hello Raghav, You are just doing awesome Job! Your way of explaining things make more easy to understand the concepts..please keep doing. Thanks
Thanks for your message, will continue this.
Raghav truly grateful to you for sharing your knowledge with so much clarity.Cheers
I am glad Aisshvarya, that it helped. Keep learning.
Hi Raghav,
You are doing an Awesome job. Your Explanation in Tutorial Very Clear. Keep up the Good Job.
I am glad it was helpful. Keep Learning.
hi Raghav.. good to know that you are online and responded to my comments..I am basically into mobile app and electronic devices testing...can you suggest or give me some tutorials on automating mobile apps ( both iOS & android).also if you know any tool that can help me test electronic hardware ....thnx in advance
Akhil, i will be making sessions on mobile testing both iOS and android, but not much info on electronic hardware
Hi Raghav, You have explained REST API so clearly. Amazing job !! Thanks alot...
Most welcome Sabita
Raghav, you have done a fab job explaining JMeter. Cannot thank you enough!
Sachine, I,m glad it helped
Thanks raghav, for giving your time towards exploring the knowledge.
Have you done any videos for load testing of a flow using API's like for login, perform some task like book a ticket, logout..... Etc
Hi Vinod, I have taken some basic examples, You can find several playlists on JMeter here - automationstepbystep.com/
Supr explanation Raghav, Please can you tell how to authenticate and handle Token also.
Hi Mellamputi, f you want to pass the authorization token as a header you just need to add a HTTP Header Manager config element in the HTTP Request Sampler. You can then pass the Authorization token value in the same manner.
This should help you

Hai Raghav,
Great info,In samplers Rpc request working directly is that mandatory to use http request as well
Hi, yes you can use it, but it is not present in latest versions.
could you pls expln wat are jmeter elements needed based on NFRS requrement and some scenarios based case study test execution and also some case studys regarding bottlenec analysis and resolve will be helpful and your tutorials because it's free with great content. Thanks, Raghav
Hi Ganesh, I will plan on this
great reply thancQ
Hi Raghav, Thanks for the wonderful tutorials on jmeter. i have been following all your tutorials. Request you to please have a series of tutorials on REST API.
Many Thanks
Glad to know this Vikas, You can see tutorials on SOAPUI and POSTMAN, will add new sessions soon.

Hi Raghav - Thanks for the video series. Please upload one video for a real-time project of performance testing using jMeter
hi Dipu, although i have tried to cover most of the concept that will be useful in any real time projects, will try to create more sessions with practical implementations.
Great tutural Raghav. How do test a get request. Where you get the information and you want to extract an authorization key from the request and insert it into another request every time you run the test?
Thanks for liking. You can use regular expression to extract values and provide to subsequent request.

Great to know this. Yes you can put your questions, messages in the comment section of the relevant video.
Hi Raghav, need a query , L&P testing we are using JMeter ...scenario is : API Testing 1st API request to java application that response 401 handle by java code and return to another java method with adding some parameter value to handle this response and finally we got the 200 response. please guide me how to handle this scenario via JMeter script.
Hi Kannan, replied you on mail, you can use a java code inside JMeter to run any java app
Hi Raghav,
I am learning from this series of Jeter and i have installed Jeter 4.0, and there is no way to add sampler: Soap/XML-RPC Request. So, please let me know how to add and send soap request while using SOAP API using http request.
Thanks in advance. 🙂

Hi Raghav, I have a scenario like need to add Parameter and Body in the HTTP request. While accessing ,able to use only one as input. Could you please let me know how to give input values for both. Thanks!
Hi Koushik, We now use HTML Sampler for API requests, There is option to provide parameters. I will try to create a session on this
Hi Raghav, My soap webservies have many methods. I need to test performance of each method. So what is the way to call methods in the api. I am using HTTP request sampler in Jmeter 3.3. Where shall I specify method in the Request.For example getItemList is one of the method and wsdl is ItemAPI.wsdl
Hi, in your case you will have to create multiple samplers per api request (method)
Excellent explanation of APIs. I'll be using the waiter analogy in future!
thanks for watching Ian
Hello Raghav,
Thanks a lot, for your very nice videos.
I have a question, I am using JMeter 3.3 and I don't see any SOAP Sampler
I have also download Custom SOAP Sampler but I don't see any Field SOAP Action in it and I can not send SOAP Request.
is there any separate sampler for SOAP in 3.3 to use? if yes where do i get it?
(I get the follwoing Error:
soap:ClientSystem.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException: Server did not recognize the value of HTTP Header SOAPAction: .
at System.Web.Services.Protocols.Soap11ServerProtocolHelper.RouteRequest()
at System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapServerProtocol.RouteRequest(SoapServerMessage message)

Hi Raghva,
I just want to say thanks , those videos are helping for beginners .
You're welcome Allu,
I'm using jmeter for api testing and whenever I hit on my api in the testplan, jmeter gets stuck and opens the api after 10-15seconds, same happens when I hit on sample result of the api in view result tree. I've Uninstalled and reinstalled jmeter and jdk but still my jmeter shows the same issue. Using jmeter 5.6.2 and jdk 21. Pls help me with the issue
Srihari
The issue you're experiencing with JMeter getting stuck and taking a long time to respond to API calls and view results could be caused by various factors. Here are some potential causes and solutions to investigate:
1. **Slow System Resources:** Check if your system has sufficient resources, such as CPU, RAM, and network bandwidth, to handle the load of the API testing. If your system is overloaded, it can cause delays in JMeter's response times.
2. **Network Latency:** Ensure that your network connection is stable and has low latency. High latency can significantly impact JMeter's ability to communicate with the API server.
3. **API Server Performance:** Verify that the API server itself is performing well and can handle the load of your test requests. If the API server is experiencing performance issues, it can cause delays in response times.
4. **JMeter Memory Settings:** Increase the Java heap size allocated to JMeter if it's running out of memory. This can be done by modifying the `JAVA_OPTS` environment variable or using the `-Xmx` flag when starting JMeter.
5. **JMeter Configuration:** Review your JMeter configuration settings, particularly those related to the JDBC connection, HTTP request samplers, and listeners. Ensure that the settings are optimized for your testing scenario.
6. **JMeter Thread Group:** Adjust the ramp-up period and thread count in the Concurrency Thread Group to manage the load gradually and avoid overloading the system.
7. **JMeter Plugins:** Disable any unnecessary plugins that might be interfering with JMeter's performance.
8. **JVM Garbage Collection:** Check if JVM garbage collection settings are causing delays. Consider using the `-XX:+UseG1GC` flag to enable the G1 garbage collector, which may improve performance.
9. **JMeter Version:** Ensure you're using the latest stable version of JMeter. Older versions may have known bugs or performance issues that have been addressed in newer releases.
10. **Community Support:** If the issue persists, consider seeking assistance from the JMeter community forums or mailing lists. There may be specific configuration or compatibility issues related to your environment that require additional guidance.
Remember, performance testing involves understanding the performance bottlenecks and limitations of both the system under test and the testing infrastructure. By carefully analyzing the system resources, network conditions, API server performance, and JMeter configuration, you can identify the root cause of the delays and implement appropriate solutions to improve JMeter's responsiveness.
Hi Raghav ,Plz suggest how to work this out with JMeter 3.3 the latest version? As there is not SOAP-RPC Sampler in the Menu item
Hi Ravi, An Update:
JMeter ver 3.2 onwards - SOAP/XML-RPC Request has been removed as part of Bug 60727. Use HTTP Request element as a replacement. See Building a WebService Test Plan - jmeter.apache.org/usermanual/build-ws-test-plan.html
Hi Raghav,
Thanks for the helpful video.
Quick question: The SOAP example you provided in the video has shown that it cannot handle 10 concurrent threads and you briefly mentioned what were the next steps you would take to solve the issue. You also mentioned that you have went over this in your previous sessions but I don't remember seeing/hearing them.
Could you please list or link the video that contains next steps on how to find the root cause and troubleshoot the problem?
Thank you!
Hi Bobby,
What i mentioned was, using other sessions in this series you can create and get a detailed results including factors like response time, latency and can also get graphical results to better understand the performance issues.
Let me know if there is anything specific you want to know.
Yes, I am aware of being able to find response and latency times, but how exactly do you figure out why it cannot handle 10 users? Or is that something you just report to the dev team and have them figure it out?
Thanks!
Hi Raghav. thank you for all of your videos. Could you please make a video on Post request of rest api with multiple users for macbook.
I will plan Sobys
Hi Raghav,
I have 2 test cases , its running fine in jmeter.
now i want to configure my SVN and Jmeter ...Like in code if any changes
its happened in svn .... test case will execute immediately.
You can create commands to run your jmeter test from commandline. Watch this.
ua-cam.com/video/K26q5VgwLKk/v-deo.html
And then set it up to run from jenkins. Watch this :
ua-cam.com/video/mYGQPj78YhI/v-deo.html&list=PLhW3qG5bs-L-PpK83CC_m_bWd_722tvgk
Then in jenkins you can select source control as svn.
HI Raghav, very well explained. Thanks aton.
Can you share link of session on "How to write groovy scripts" in Jmeter please.
I have not yet done it Vaidehi, will plan on this
Hi Raghav,
I was just going through the API Testing tutorial and faced a issue. I am using JMeter V3.2 still no SOAP/XML-RPC Request sampler displayed. Could you please help out.
Hi Jinesh,
Yes, . SOAP/XML-RPC Request has been removed as part of Bug 60727. Use HTTP Request element as a replacement. See Building a WebService Test Plan jmeter.apache.org/usermanual/build-ws-test-plan.html
But this wont handle HTTPS requests, I do not see any Video in your playlist. It would be really great to have that. thanks @Raghav
Hi, now we need to use https sampler for api requests and you can provide https in protocol filed. I will make new videos on that
Thank you Raghav for sharing knowledge.you explained it very well.it helped a lot
I am glad Ruchi, it helped.
Thanks Raghav, You are an awesome guy.. Really learnt a lot from your tutorials.

Hi sir
Is it good to learn jmeter after postman to get a job
jmeter is continuation of postman ?
or its alternative
Yes, it will be a good diverse skill set

Dear Raghav, I have one query on the difference in response time using the 2 samplers (SOAP XML RPC request and http sampler). If we are using the SOAP sampler the request is processed faster. Will it not affect the end results? So now the performance becomes dependent on the sampler used. Am I correct or missing something?
Hi Prashant, Are all your parameters and configurations for both samplers same. Not sure why is it showing this. Ideally, sampler should not impact server performance.
Hi...Raghav I m using Apache JMeter 4.0 As I follow your video I can not see SOAP/XML- RPC Request Opthin on Thread group > Add > Sampler >
can you please suggest how to sort this out. Thank you

At 14:41 only SOAP API starts, right. Was it mentioned wrongly for REST API a while earlier just before 14,:41?
Hi Smana, first part deals with REST and second part with REST. where is the confusion
Hi Raghav, I find your tutorials extremely useful. Can you please let me know when does an error message like this - "Non HTTP response code: Java.net.SocketException" appear? What does it mean?
Also, suppose I am testing an application for 400 users. So how to understand what is the maximum load that the application can go under? I mean what is the error message that would be received for threshold load exceeded? Thanks a lot in advance.
Hi Titir, This may usually happen if the server has closed the connection at its end (issue at the server end) or probably an issue with the request that you send to the server (client end)
For checking the application performance you have to set a baseline (i.e. record the metrics with normal load) and then keep on increasing the load gradually and on every run compare the metrics with baseline (e.g. response time, throughput, avg etc) If you start getting huge differences, that would mean your application (servers) cannot take more load
Hi Raghav
I am trying to prepare the dynamic login script using REST api but facing issues for the same.
What i have done so far
1. Prepare the Static Script first, it became successfull for 1 user.
Now i am trying to do it for multiple users, so i made a csv containing few users and pass the variable as ${username} and ${pword} in place of static values in XML code..and when i run my script, getting 400 Bad request error.
Please let me know what i am missing in my script?
Awaiting for your positive response
Thanks,
Hi Nitin, just check the logs to validate if its passing the correct username and password.
Thank You Raghav for the quick response!
Problem Resolved!
Hi Ragav,
In this video when you give the number of thread count as 10, then some of the SOAP request are failing right? How can i debug why those request got failed?
Hi Prasana, you can add listeners like View Results Tree and see the actual request and response.
In case you get any server side error like 5xx code, then the issue is at server end. i.e.its not able to handle the load.
My Jmeter doesn't show SOAP XML-RPC under Sampler options...what do i do?

Hi Raghav, i need to run multiple APIs and these are inter linked means , after one API runs then i need to take some date from the responce then i need to use that in next Rest API, then i need to hit the 2nd Rest API and some date need to pick up from responce and that data to be used in 3rd Rest API... so this is whole is a set. I need to do perfomrece testing on this ... please tell me how can i do this?
Hi Kumara, what are your API format, REST or SOAP, in case of JSON response you can use JSON extractor in case of XML you can use XML extractors. Here are some videos to help

Hello Raghav, So I signed up at website for the API keys and once I Logged in, the server name starts with “samples” Instead of api.openweather.. why is that? My test failed once I changed it to api for IP under web server on jmeter.
Hi Zain, In case there are any changes at the api side, you can create the request accordingly. Can also try any other API in case this one is not working. I took this as a demo
Automation Step by Step - Raghav Pal sounds good, thank you for getting back.
Hi Raghav,I am trying to this web services (API) testing using 3.2 Jmeter. I am unable to found option SOAP/XML-RPC Request under Sampler. is there any other file required for web service. could you please help?

Thanks Raghav
hi Raghav, i have one question for you.
why Jmeter has 8888 as default port number ?
Hi Veerendhra, Not exactly sure on this.
Hello Raghav,
I found your tutorials very easy to understand.I run test for 10 users but i get the errors for some requests like (403 Forbidden). so can you please tell me the how to slove this problem
Hi Srihari, in case some of your requests are getting passed and some fails, then you probably have uncovered a potential performance issue, that your servers are not able to handle multiple concurrent authentication requests.
You can look at the logs for further details.

Hi Raghav,
What to do if my variable is in parameter? For example, my URL is www.lifecharger.org/xyzabc/ND_1000.
Now when I refresh my page then in my URL xyzabc become qwerty and it changes when you refresh the page and new value is created in place of qwerty. How can I tell JMeter to understand that the URL have new values when JMeter tries to retrieve it?
How to handle dynamica variable in URL without input name or type?

dumb question ... on the listeners u said to create .csv files ... is it still the .csv file or is it changed for excel ? or anything newer .. thanks
Yes you can use csv files
thank you sir. appreciate your help ... great videos
Hi Raghav, Can I record a test and check the performance of it instead going for csv file for authentication???
Hi Partha, you can surely create a test with call parameters hard coded , as well the assertions and do not require a csv file.

Hi Raghav, Wanted to know how to test the performance of an api which brings loads of data in response on giving different inputs in request.
Are you getting any exception in parsing the data.
No Raghav, just wanted to know that is it possible to test such scenario in Jmeter.I am working ona library application. where there is no rush of users but loads of items are returned through API.So is it possible to performance test API's which returns loads of data in return
Yes, you can try setting the test and then see if you get any error in logs. Ideally you should be able to achieve this.

Hi can assertions be made for the REST or SOAP responses?
Also you used "NewDelhi" as your search parameter for the REST API URL, is there anyway to like CSV file to load other cities to be sent per URL call?
BTW this is a very good video! thank you!
Thanks Sahan for liking. Yes, assertions can be made on response by using Response Assertions. You can watch this video:

Hi Nidhi, thanks for watching and learning.
good afternoon sir. pls i am having this error if i run the test. >> Unable to update attachment reference. how can i resolve it. thank you
Nicholas
Let's break down the problem and work through it step by step
Step 1: Understand the error
The error message "Unable to update attachment reference" suggests that JMeter is having trouble updating or accessing an attachment, which is likely a file or resource associated with your test
Step 2: Check the test plan
Review your test plan to identify any attachments or files that are being used. Check if you have added any files or resources to your test plan, such as CSV files, images, or other types of files
Step 3: Verify file paths and permissions
Ensure that the file paths to your attachments are correct and that JMeter has the necessary permissions to access them. Check if the files are located in the correct directory and that the file names are spelled correctly
Step 4: Check the JMeter log file
Look for more detailed error messages in the JMeter log file. You can find the log file in the `bin` directory of your JMeter installation. The log file may provide additional information about the error, such as the specific attachment that's causing the issue
Step 5: Check for file encoding issues
If you're using a CSV file or another type of file with special characters, try saving the file in a different encoding (e.g., UTF-8) to see if that resolves the issue
Step 6: Try removing and re-adding the attachment
Remove the attachment from your test plan and then re-add it. This can sometimes resolve issues with file references
Step 7: Check for JMeter version issues
If you're using an older version of JMeter, try updating to the latest version. Sometimes, errors like this can be resolved by updating to a newer version of JMeter
Step 8: Search online for similar issues
If none of the above steps resolve the issue, search online for similar problems and see if other users have encountered and resolved the same error
By following these steps, you should be able to identify and resolve the "Unable to update attachment reference" error in JMeter

Hi. I got one quich question. Will Jmeter show an error if we parameterize invalid username and password from CSV file.
Thank you,
Hi Ishit, JMeter on itself will not show an error if its able to get the value from csv successfully. Its that in the response you will get something like invalid username/password and you can put an assertion over it, to fail if you do not get correct response.

First of all thanks Raghav for replying. Can you also help me with what kind of response and assertion I have to use to get invalid username and password error.
