Requests are NOT capture in Jmeter to run Performance Testing for Desktop application


There is a desktop application which uses HTTP/HTTPS which needs to be done for performance testing.

I have configured Network Proxy settings -> localhost/8888 and Also configured 'same proxy in Jmeter' 8888

I am currently recording the desktop application to do few functions.. But nothing is getting captured in the Jmeter.

Some directions would be appreciative

Thanks, Chandra


Solution

    1. Make sure to add JMeter's self-signed certificate to Windows Trusted Root Certification Authorities

    2. You might also need to install Microsoft Loopback Adapter

    3. Ensure that JMeter is capable of reaching out to the backend, i.e. if you're using proxy for Internet access - make JMeter aware of this proxy
