How can JMeter manage the order of requests?

By default, JMeter sends requests randomly based on the number of threads in a thread group. If you need to control the order of requests, you can achieve this through the following method:

  1. Utilize logic controllers: JMeter offers various logic controllers such as If Controller, While Controller, Switch Controller, etc., which can be added based on requirements to control the execution sequence of requests.
  2. Utilize Sequential Controller: JMeter offers a Sequential Controller that allows requests to be executed in a specific order. Simply add the Sequential Controller under the Thread Group and include the requests that need to be executed sequentially.
  3. Utilize a transaction controller: A transaction controller can combine multiple requests into one transaction and execute the requests in order. Simply place the requests that need to be executed in order within a transaction controller.
  4. Using pre-processors and post-processors: Pre-processors and post-processors can perform operations before and after sending a request. By adding logic in pre-processors and post-processors, the execution order of requests can be controlled.

These are some commonly used methods to control the order of requests, choose the most suitable one according to the specific situation.
