Overview

JMeter is a 100% pure Java desktop application designed to load test functional behavior and measure performance. Originally developed for testing web applications, JMeter has expanded to other test functions.

JMeter can be used to test the performance of both static and dynamic resources, including files, servlets, Perl scripts, Java objects, databases, FTP servers, and more. It allows users to simulate heavy loads on a server, network, or object to analyze overall performance under different conditions. Additionally, JMeter provides graphical analysis for performance evaluation and helps assess system behavior under concurrent loads.
