Can I test a login Authenticated web application in selenium Automation and Jmeter for 10 users same time usage of the web application
CodePudding user response：
Yes, You can test it with multiple users
Bear in mind, the Webdriver (Selenium) executions are resource intensive and require a larger foot print than the normal web http calls.
If you got no other options, than the Selenium Webdriver - It is recommended to use the Webdriver samplers in Headless mode.
Also, It is advised to have an eye on the CPU and memory consumption of the LGs where the JMeter is running.
Spin up more number of LGs when you are breaching more than 85% of CPU
CodePudding user response：
Theoretically you can using WebDriver Sampler, see Mixing Selenium Into Your Load Scenario article for details.
However aware that:
- It's in general not recommended mainly because you won't have all the relevant metrics and KPIs
- Browsers are very resource intensive and each instance requires 1 CPU core and 2 GB of RAM so you will need 21 GB of RAM to launch 10 browser instances while with JMeter's HTTP Request sampler you can mimic thousands of users with the same hardware
So it's better to use 1 thread for client-side performance testing (i.e. rendering speed) and remaining 9 to use HTTP Request samplers
