Creating a Basic HTTP Test
Build your first test plan to send HTTP requests and simulate a single user's interaction with a web server.
What is an HTTP Test?
An HTTP test mimics a browser sending requests to a server — the same calls that fetch pages and assets. It's where performance testing usually begins.
The Goal: Simulate a User
The plan: simulate one user visiting a site. You'll add a Thread Group, fire an HTTP request, and view the server's response — the full mini-loop.
