JMeter – Simple Config Element

by

In JMeter, ‘Simple Config Element’ is used to add or override arbitrary values in samplers. You can choose the name of the value and the value itself. This element is very rarely used by the tester, although some developers might find a use for this element, as a basic GUI that they can use while developing new JMeter components.
