How to Execute Performance Tests For Web Pages That Need Authentication

Question

How to test web pages for which you need to perform some sort of authentication beforehand? For example, a web page https://example.com/orders can only be accessed if there is a JWT in the browser's local storage.

I have watched several videos about people using JMeter to test web pages, but all the examples that I have seen so far are public web pages (e.g. https://google.com).

Hi

you could try storing the credentials in a Key Vault and calling them using the parameters when setting up the Load Test:

This means you don't need to store them in your JMeter script.

Hope this helps,

Thanks
