JMeter for Appian

Overview

Using this plug-in JMeter provides an easy way record and replay Appian processes.

JMeter for Appian accomplishes this by hooking into JMeter's Test Script Recorder mechanism. It alters the behavior of most HTTP requests so that additional logic runs when the test is recorded. This logic extracts the standard dynamic values that are passed back and forth when a user interacts with Appian.

Key Features & Functionality

This JMeter plug-in will add post processing to Appian requests/responses to:

  • Automatically handle headers for authentication
  • Automatically handle parameterization of context, _cIds and saveIntos in SAIL requests/responses
  • Automatically handle parameterization of taskIds for chained tasks
  • Automatically handle parameterization of docIds for uploads
  • Automatically handle parameterization of cacheKeys/parameters

The plug-in does not attempt to parameterize end user entered data. This could however be added to the generated test script.

  • Hi, 

    In the execution of user load / capacity testing, the JMeter results file is recording 500 errors (such as 502 Bad Gateway and 504 Gateway Time-out); however the Appian environment is not displaying any errors, either in monitoring or the system logs.

    Has anyone else experienced this issue? Is there a reason JMeter would record a 500 that does not correspond to any error on Appian-side? 

    Thank you!

  • Are you not seeing any 500 errors in the tomcat access logs? 502 and 504 seem like they could be errors at the Web server level if perhaps the app server is not responsive.
