Creating a GUI Test by Uploading a YAML File

If you opt to use a Taurus YAML file to execute your Selenium test, you can simply upload the file to BlazeMeter, then execute your test.

Tip: If you don’t have a Taurus YAML file, use the BlazeMeter Chrome extension to record a Selenium test.

To upload a YAML file, do the following:

1. Ensure you have the "Functional" tab selected.
   
2. Click the "Create Test" button near the top-center of the screen.
   
3. Click the "GUI Functional Test" button to create a new test.
   
4. Drag your YAML file over the "Upload Script" area, or click the "+" button to select a YAML file to upload.
   

   Restriction: All Selenium commands must be within the YAML script itself. For this method, the YAML cannot reference a Selenium script file.

5. Your YAML configuration will now appear in the Scenario Definition pane.
   
6. Click the "Run Test" button to execute your test.
   

Test Execution Settings

• Location:
  You can choose a specific public Cloud or private location to run the test. For more information, see Cloud vs Private Location and Get the Location Name.
• Browser:
  By default, the test runs in the latest Chrome browser. If you have created a private location that has other browsers and versions configured, you can select specific browsers in which to run the test.
• Mock Services Configuration:
  If you have created a mock services configuration, you can assign it to this test.
