Ability to generate random values at runtime and pass it in as a parameter

[pranoti]

Should have an ability to generate random unique values at runtime or append a random value to a variable like "TestUser_<random number / timestamp>", for scenarios such  as username in signup functionality.

Hi pranoti,

Thank you for submitting a feature request. In LoadNinja, it is possible to generate some values at runtime and append them, for example, to a string using JavaScript validations. We can, for example, use a JS validation to access an input field on a page, and fill it with a string generated at runtime. See sample JS validation code below:

function _InputValue() {

  var element = document.getElementById("testInputId");

  const months = ["JAN", "FEB", "MAR", 
                  "APR", "MAY", "JUN", 
                  "JUL", "AUG", "SEP", 
                  "OCT", "NOV", "DEC"];

  const code = "PRG";
  var dateNow = new Date();

  var year = dateNow.getFullYear();
  var month = months[dateNow.getMonth()];
  var day = dateNow.getDate();

  var hours = dateNow.getHours();
  var minutes = dateNow.getMinutes();
  var seconds = dateNow.getSeconds();
  
  var miliseconds = dateNow.getMilliseconds();

  var textFieldValue = code + year + month + day + 
      hours + minutes + seconds + miliseconds;

  if (element){

    element.value = "";
    element.value = textFieldValue;
    return true;
  }
  return false;

}
// DO NOT CHANGE BEYOND THIS POINT -
return _InputValue();

This sample code is creating a unique string starting with "PRG" and contains a date generated at runtime.
