Load Testing Using Jmeter | Performance Testing JMeter | Automation Tool Jmeter

What is JMeter ?

Apache JMeter may be used to test performance both on static and dynamic resources (Webservices (SOAP/REST), Web dynamic languages - PHP, Java, ASP.NET, Files, etc. -, Java Objects, Data Bases and Queries, FTP Servers and more). It can be used to simulate a heavy load on a server, group of servers, network or object to test its strength or to analyze overall performance under different load types.

Features of JMeter :

Ability to load and performance test many different server/protocol types:

• Web - HTTP, HTTPS
• SOAP / REST
• FTP
• Database via JDBC
• LDAP
• Message-oriented middleware (MOM) via JMS
• Mail - SMTP(S), POP3(S) and IMAP(S)
• Native commands or shell scripts
• TCP

Complete portability and 100% Java purity.

Full multithreading framework allows concurrent sampling by many threads and simultaneous sampling of different functions by separate thread groups.

Careful GUI design allows faster Test Plan building and debugging.

Caching and offline analysis/replaying of test results.
