Final answer:
To create an HTML report in JMeter, execute the test plan and save the results. Then generate the report using JMeter's Report Dashboard feature with the correct command-line options.
Step-by-step explanation:
To create an HTML report in JMeter, you need to run a test in JMeter and then generate the report from the test results. Follow these steps:
- Run your JMeter test plan and save the results to a file with the .jtl extension using the "-l" command-line option. For example: jmeter -n -t my_test_plan.jmx -l results.jtl.
- After the test execution finishes, use the JMeter's Report Dashboard generation feature to create an HTML report from the .jtl results file. You can do this using the "-e" and "-o" options, where "-e" tells JMeter to generate the report dashboard, and "-o" specifies the output folder for the report. For example: jmeter -e -o /path/to/output/folder -l results.jtl.
- The report will be generated in the specified output folder. Open the 'index.html' file in a web browser to view your report.
Remember to ensure that the .jtl results file is complete and not corrupted before attempting to generate the report.
