aws distributed loadtesting with csv

Question

I have a jmeter script that tests login flow for different users. I use csv option to read username and password. But aws distributed load testing doesn't allow me to do so .What can I do to load test?

Answer 1

You need to copy the CSV file to all JMeter Slave machines, as per documentation:

If the test uses any data files, note that these are not sent across by the client so make sure that these are available in the appropriate directory on each server.

If for some reason you cannot do this you will have to consider alternative solutions so all slaves would be able to get the credentials from a centralized storage, available options are in:

• Put your credentials into the database and use JDBC Test Elements for reading them, see How to Automatically Pull Data from a DB for Your Performance Test article for more details
• HTTP Simple Table Server provides simple HTTP interface for reading data from CSV files
• Redis Data Set allows reading data from Redis storage
