jMeter Tutorial
What is jMeter?
jMeter is an Open Source testing software. It is 100% pure Java application for load and performance testing.
jMeter is designed to cover various categories of tests such as load testing, functional testing, performance testing, regression testing, etc., and it requires JDK 5 or higher.
This tutorial provides an in-depth coverage of jMeter framework including its test plans, listeners, functions, and regular expressions.
This jMeter tutorial is based on the latest jMeter 5.6.3 version.
Features of jMeter
Following are some of the features of JMeter −
Being an open source software, it is freely available.
It has a simple and intuitive GUI.
JMeter can conduct load and performance test for many different server types â Web - HTTP, HTTPS, SOAP, Database via JDBC, LDAP, JMS, Mail - POP3, etc.
It is a platform-independent tool. On Linux/Unix, JMeter can be invoked by clicking on JMeter shell script. On Windows, it can be invoked by starting the jmeter.bat file.
It has full Swing and lightweight component support (precompiled JAR uses packages javax.swing.* ).
JMeter store its test plans in XML format. This means you can generate a test plan using a text editor.
Its full multi-threading framework allows concurrent sampling by many threads and simultaneous sampling of different functions by separate thread groups.
It is highly extensible.
It can also be used to perform automated and functional testing of the applications.
