JMeter: Sending Ajax requests

I have a scenario which looks like:

  1. Transaction Controller-1
  2. Transaction Controller-2
  3. Transaction Controller-3
  4. Transaction Controller-4
  5. Transaction Controller-5

Irrespective of the Transaction Controller or Wait Time being executed, an ajax request is to be sent every 5 secs.

How do I handle this? Please help.

Thanks for your support.

Regards,

  • JMeter:

    1. Executes Samplers upside down
    2. Executes next Sampler as soon as it gets response from the current one (or faces connect/response timeout)

    So if you want to run a request each 5 seconds no matter what is going on you should add it to another Thread Group and use a Constant Timer or Flow Control Action Sampler. If you need to pass some data (cookies, token, whatever) you can convert it into JMeter Properties or use Inter-Thread Communication Plugin
