How to Use Http request/JSON extractor(using Jmeter Variable) in Jmeter with Response assertion(using Jmeter Variable). better to provide with Example?

Answer 1

For example you have the following response:

JSON Response

And you need to extract John from it.

1. Add JSON Extractor Post Processor

2. Configure it as follows:

   • Reference Name: anything meaningful, i.e. name

   • JSON Path Expressions: $.name

     JSON Extractor example configuration

3. That's it, you now have ${name} JMeter Variable with the value of John

   Variable from JSON Response

If now you want to validate its value you can add a Response Assertion and configure it like:

• Apply to -> JMeter Variable -> name
• Pattern Matching Rules: Equals
• Patterns to Test: John
