How can the JMeter Loop Controller be used?

The JMeter loop controller is used to repeat a set of operations in a test plan. It allows users to define the number of times or conditions to repeat the actions in order to simulate load or continuous testing.

The types of loop controllers are as follows:

1. Loop Controller: Specify the number of times a loop should be executed, which can be set as a specific number or using a looping variable.
2. The Once Only Controller executes its child actions only once, regardless of where it is placed.
3. The Controller repeats the specified sub-operations until the condition is no longer true, based on the given criteria. The condition can be a pre-defined variable, function, or expression.
4. For each controller: Repeat the sub-operation for each element in the given input set. The input set can be predefined variables or provided through a CSV file.
5. The Controller selectively executes sub-operations based on the given conditions, which can be predefined variables, functions, or expressions.

These loop controllers can be nested to achieve more complex logic. By utilizing loop controllers, it becomes easier to create more flexible and reusable test scripts.
