coSelectAll();
coUnSelectAll();

These function above are part of our application and when I run on chrome console it select and unselect a company structure. How can I call these functions from jmeter as I heard jmeter does not have access to DOM. I am a newbie so forgive me if this is a silly questions. What options are available in jmeter.

  • If these functions generate HTTP Requests you should be able to record and replay them using JMeter's HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder.

  • If these functions affect UI only (i.e. check some boxes or something like that) you won't be able to do test it using JMeter, as per JMeter project main page

    JMeter is not a browser, it works at protocol level. As far as web-services and remote services are concerned, JMeter looks like a browser (or rather, multiple browsers); however JMeter does not perform all the actions supported by browsers. In particular, JMeter does not execute the Javascript found in HTML pages.

Real browsers send HTTP Requests and render the response. JMeter can mimic sending any HTTP requests via HTTP Request samplers so from application under test perspective it won't be different from real user, but JavaScript is executed solely on client side so if it doesn't trigger any network activity - the server doesn't know anything about what is happening in the browser on client side.

If your test scenario assumes checking selection/deselection of company structure via invoking certain JavaScript functions consider switching to Selenium browser automation framework. Also be aware that there is a Selenium integration with JMeter via WebDriver Sampler.
