Answer 1

Take a look at JMeter Functions like:

• __Random() - which generates a random number in the given range
• __RandomString() - which generates a random string from the given input
• __threadNum() - which returns the current thread number
• __UUID() - which returns an unique GUID structure
• __time() - which returns current time stamp in different formats
• any combination of above

JMeter functions can be used anywhere in the test so you can put them directly into your request body.

Some more recommendations:

• Don't use JMeter GUI for running the load test, GUI mode is designed for tests development and debugging only, the tests themselves need to be run in command-line non-GUI mode
• Remove all the listeners from the test plan while running your load test as JMeter listeners are very resource intensive and create unnecessary overhead.
