If you are not aware about how to download and install apache jmeter then you can read my previous post where i have described everything about jmeter installation process. In this post i have described how jmeter record your first software load test plan using jmeter proxy server.

Changing Firefox browser settings for recording jmeter first test plan
First of all, you need to change bellow given settings of Firefox browser for recording software load test script in apache jmeter.

Open Firefox Browser
In Firefox Browser,
  • Open Tools -> Options -> Advanced tab -> Network tab -> Settings. It will open connections setting popup.
  • Select "Manual Proxy Configuration" radio button.
  • Set HTTP Proxy = 'localhost' and Port = '90' 

(Note : You can use any other port id at place of '90' if it is being used by any other instance. Other ports Example : 8080, 4455, 4445, etc..)

Now your browser connection settings will be looks like bellow.


Jmeter load testing tool settings for recording your first test plan
Start Jmeter tool by running jmeter.bat file. It will open apache jmeter GUI.
  • Right click on "Test Plan" element and select Add -> Threads(Users) -> Thread Group. It will add "Thread Group" under "Test Plan".
  • Right click on "Thread Group" element and select Add -> Logic Controller -> Simple Controller
  • Right click on "WorkBench" element and select Add -> Non-Test Elements -> HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder. It will add "HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder" under "WorkBench". It will add jmeter proxy server in your test plan.
  • Click on "HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder" element and Set Port = '90' and select Target Controller = Thread Group> Simple Controller. Now your jmeter proxy server's settings are done.

(Note : Here Port id must be same as browser connection setting. We have set Port = '90' in browser connection setting so need to set same port in "HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder" settings as bellow image)

Now Your Jmeter GUI settings and other configurations will looks like bellow.


If your all settings are correct as shown in above figure, you are ready for recording your first sample software load test plan script in apache jmeter.

    Useful article, but you should remove localhost address from "No proxy for" field in browser settings to make JMeter record actions. Also, better exclude static files in JMeter Proxy server.
