Running Selenium scripts with JMeter

Question

I have Selenium automation scripts ready with functional flow, now I want to integrate those scripts with JMeter for load-testing.
Is that possible?
If so how to int

Answer 1

There should not be a need to use Selenium with JMeter. Selenium script will take one instance of a browser at a time. Whereas, JMeter does not use a real instance of a browser to generate load.

Please let me know if Selenium script can be used to generate a load from UI standpoint for 5000 vusers. It probably can. But then are we saying that the Selenium script would now require 5000 instances of a browser on the same system? Will the test still run or hang the system instead? JMeter already has great options as a Recorder as well. It provides great stats from "load" testing standpoint.

For a moment if we think that users who know Selenium won't know how to script in JMeter and hence a learning curve. But in case of JMeter this is even not true. It's because there is no need to create something like a logical sequence or a program in the first place.
