How to make JMeter behave more like a real browser?

Category: JMeter

JMeter has all the capabilities to behave like a real browser and still maintain high scalability. For this, the following config elements should be added to JMeter:

A cache manager to simulate the browser’s cache.
A cookie manager to simulate the browser’s cookies.
In the header manager include a user agent line. (We recommend recording from your own browser).
Use thread/connection pool to simulate the browser parallel fetching (use between 2-4).
Ask JMeter to retrieve embedded resources to simulate a browser retrieving embedded resources (such as gifs, css, js etc).
