Is there a way to write scripts that simulate HTTP requests in JMeter. I know this can be done using the GUI, but is there a way to automate it using scripts?

You can do it only using GUI. – Andrei Botalov Nov 24 '12 at 15:41

1Non-GUI mode is for running JMeter scripts. GUI mode is for constructing them. – Andrei Botalov Nov 24 '12 at 15:59

1Of course you can edit JMX file manually, but you won't like it. – Andrei Botalov Nov 24 '12 at 16:00

The main method for writing JMeter scripts is using GUI. Another option is to edit manually JMX file but (almost) nobody uses it as:
- its format isn't documented (at least I haven't saw it)
- JMeter GUI is really easy to use. See JMeter New GUI features to increase your productivity. It can't be said about JMX XML file
Non-GUI mode is for running JMeter scripts (it takes less resources than GUI mode)
