Turn off any other network on your mobile phone

Note:
The JMeter certificate from Bin folder must be transferred to mobile device and install the certificate with the same name as that of in BIN folder of Apache Jmeter. In most of the case, the name should be "ApacheJMeterTemporaryRootCA ". JMeter is looking for the certificate with the name it was installed on your computer.

Nice!! was very much helpful. I was wondering if you could show us, how to use particular user/users in the sampler from CSV file which consists many or lets say "n"' number of users(for instance, if you want to test the names which have more than 28 characters, for this load runner has parameters where you can customize or randomize the users you want to use from CSV).I was curious to know, if JMeter has such functionality. Thanks....

In desktop, I have tested by providing proxy server ip and port number in browser settings. When I ran Jmeter script, I could see all the logs are rotated in proxy server and I tested the performance.

Hi raghav I just want to know if there is any method to audit the test execution on devices. As we are doing manual testing of applications on many different devices
