compare values from two regular expression extractors in JSR223 Preprocessor

What is the best way to compare(manipulate) values from extracts in JSR223 Preprocessor without introducing performance degradation? JMeter is totally new tool for me.

I extracted values using two Regular Expression Extractors:

Extract1 has value1 and value2 (with Extract1_matchNr=20)

Extract2 has value3 and value2 (with Extract2_matchNr=80)

In JSR223 Preprocessor for same value2 I need to use pair combination of value1 and value3 from both extracts.

In Extract2 for each value2 there are about 4 unique values of value3 (I will randomly use just one value3 out of 4 values). In Extract1 both values of value1 and value2 are unique.

---Extract1:

    Extract1_1_g1=101 (value1)

    Extract1_1_g2=201 (value2)

    Extract1_2_g1=102

    Extract1_2_g2=202
    ....

    Extract1_n_g1=YYY

    Extract1_n_g2=ZZZ

    ---Extract2:

    Extract2_1_g1=301 (value3)

    Extract2_1_g2=201 (value2)

    Extract2_2_g1=302

    Extract2_2_g2=201 (same value2)

    Extract2_3_g1=303

    Extract2_3_g2=201 (same value2)

    Extract2_4_g1=304

    Extract2_4_g2=201 (same value2)
    ....

PS With one extract in other preProcessor I am using "for" loop to manipulate and concat values into myCombinedValues and use vars.put("pCombinedValues", myCombinedValues) for later use in other requests. all code samples I could find only use one extract.

Given you use:

  • groovy language
  • compilation caching
  • don't reference JMeter variables as ${VAR} inside Groovy script

There shouldn't be much overhead. See Beanshell vs JSR223 vs Java JMeter Scripting: The Performance-Off You've Been Waiting For! guide for more detailed information and scripting best practices.
