JMeter : Open Source Performance Tool

Image
By

These days, opensource tools are very popular.

One of the best tool, I am considering is JMeter.

JMeter is open source tool. It is Java based tool so it gives lots of free hand to work on cord part and handle it beautifully for coder or non-coder.

Lets start..

As I mentioned, JMeter is 100 % java-based tool which was originally designed to perform load testing of website or web-based application. Now it has increased some of test function to support functional test too.

Let’s talk about its history

Stefano Mazzocchi of the Apache Software Foundation was the original developer of JMeter. He wrote it primarily to test the performance of Apache JServ (now called as Apache Tomcat project). Apache later redesigned JMeter to enhance the GUI and to add functional testing capabilities

In short, JMeter is java based desktop performance testing tool with a graphical interface which run on any environment that accepts a Java virtual machine. JMeter uses Swing graphical API

Now one of important aspect of using new load testing tool is Protocol support.

JMeter supports below mentioned protocols:

  • Web − HTTP, HTTPS sites 'web 1.0' web 2.0 (ajax, flex and flex-ws-amf)
  • Web Services − SOAP / XML-RPC
  • Database via JDBC drivers
  • Directory − LDAP
  • Messaging Oriented service via JMS
  • Service − POP3, IMAP, SMTP
  • FTP Service

What is the features of JMeter ?
First one being an open source tool,
1.       It is FREE
2.      Full Swing and lightweight component support due available JAR files
3.      Saving test plans in XML format i.e. we can generate a test plan using a text editor.
4.      Full multi-threading framework
5.      Highly extensible.
6.      Capable of perform load as well functional testing (report would be differ from traditional one ) of the applications
7.      Platform-independent tool which means you can run it on any machine which support JVM


I would explain installation and basic GUI in next post.

Happy Testing !!!

    point. You definitely know what youre talking about,
    why throw away your intelligence on just posting videos to your weblog when you could be giving us something enlightening to read?
