Performance Testing Using JMeter

JMeter is a 100% pure Java desktop application designed to load test functional behaviour and measure performance. It was originally designed for testing Web Applications but has since expanded to other test functions.

 

JMeter may be used to test performance both on static and dynamic resources (files, Servlets, Perl scripts, Java Objects, Data Bases and Queries, FTP Servers and more). It can be used to simulate a heavy load on a server, network or object to test its strength or to analyse overall performance under different load types. You can use it to make a graphical analysis of performance or to test your server/script/object behaviour under heavy concurrent load.
