Jmeter testing for ASP.NET sites

[qasmi786]

I want to pass a Session / Global Variable from one form to another.

The asp.net Session[“VAR”] is seems to be lost from one form to another like the following:

1- Form A – Starts - Sets a Session / Global variable from ASP.NET Code.
2- Form A – Ends
3- Form B - Starts
4- Form B – Ends
5- Form C – Starts – needs the variable but cannot find it and fails

The User Sessions are working ok, the variables seem to be lost.

Any Ideas?

Session variables persist till the browser is closed and its accessible across all web pages

It could be that the user's cookies are disabled?
Session is associated with a user's browser using a Session identifier cookie (by default, you can configure it to be cookieless but there are security concerns regarding this that makes it uncommon to use).

JMeter Variables scope is limited to current thread group. If your scenario assumes multiple thread groups you'll need to convert VAR to JMeter Property which have global scope.
