Using Groovy in JMeter: Demos, Context Access, and Throughput Analysis

I initially was not proficient with JMeter, but after discovering that JMeter supports Groovy (which it always has), I created a series of demos and wrote an article sharing the results.

The demos show how to use the ctx object to obtain higher‑level information such as SampleResult or prev , though I found JMeter’s built‑in thread management more practical than Groovy‑based thread scheduling.

I also uncovered a theoretical throughput discrepancy in JMeter and, to advance JMeter usage, I recommend consulting official or community documentation and exchanging ideas with peers.

Below are links to the full set of JMeter‑focused articles, each covering a specific Groovy technique (handling assertions, variables, command‑line execution, request parameters, regex extraction, cookies, headers, and throughput error analysis).
