Jmeter - How to parameterize XML request body using a file in Jmeter?

I have a XML request as follows:

<Request>
    <Header><Log><Level>None</Level></Log></Header>
    <Body>
        <Action>
            <GetService>
                <Code>ABC</Code>
                <CodeValue>XYZ</CodeValue>
            </GetService>
        </Action>
    </Body> </Request>

I would like to have a file which has data for two columns - Code and CodeValue. For example, 

Code|CodeValue
--------------
ABC|XYZ
DEF|MNO

How should I parameterize my XML request body so that Jmeter can dynamically use data from the file as the XML values? How should I structure my file?

Thanks in advance!

Solution

  • You can use csv file in JMeter to parameterize the test data.

    • To get an idea, Go to this site . Scorll down to the section - CSV Data Set Config
    • Keep your data in a csv file as shown in the site. add CSV Data Set Config in your test plan. Update the file path.
    • Update your XML as given below.
    <Request>
        <Header><Log><Level>None</Level></Log></Header>
        <Body>
            <Action>
                <GetService>
                    <Code>${Code}</Code>
                    <CodeValue>${CodeValue}</CodeValue>
                </GetService>
            </Action>
