| <p> |
| The <b>Apache JMeter™</b> application is open source software, |
| a 100% pure Java application designed |
| to load test functional behavior and measure performance. It was |
| originally designed for testing Web Applications but has |
| since expanded to other test functions. |
| </p> |
| <h2>What can I do with it?</h2> |
| <p> |
| 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. You can use it to make a |
| graphical analysis of performance or to test your server/script/object |
| behavior under heavy concurrent load. |
| </p> |
| <h2>What does it do?</h2> |
| <p>Apache JMeter features include:</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li>Ability to load and performance test many different server/protocol types: |
| <ul> |
| <li>Web - HTTP, HTTPS</li> |
| <li>SOAP / REST</li> |
| <li>FTP</li> |
| <li>Database via JDBC</li> |
| <li>LDAP</li> |
| <li>Message-oriented middleware (MOM) via JMS</li> |
| <li>Mail - SMTP(S), POP3(S) and IMAP(S)</li> |
| <li>Native commands or shell scripts</li> |
| <li>TCP</li> |
| </ul> |
| </li> |
| <li>Complete portability and <b>100% Java purity</b>.</li> |
| <li>Full <b>multithreading</b> framework allows concurrent sampling by many threads and |
| simultaneous sampling of different functions by separate thread groups.</li> |
| <li>Careful <b>GUI</b> design allows faster Test Plan building and debugging.</li> |
| <li>Caching and offline analysis/replaying of test results.</li> |
| <li><b>Highly Extensible core:</b> |
| <ul> |
| <li>Pluggable Samplers allow unlimited testing capabilities.</li> |
| <li>Several load statistics may be chosen with <b>pluggable timers</b>.</li> |
| <li>Data analysis and <b>visualization plugins</b> allow great extensibility |
| as well as personalization.</li> |
| <li>Functions can be used to provide dynamic input to a test or provide data manipulation.</li> |
| <li><b>Scriptable Samplers</b> (BeanShell, BSF-compatible languages and JSR223-compatible languages)</li> |
| </ul> |
| </li> |
| </ul> |
| <h2>JMeter is not a browser</h2> |
| <p> |
| JMeter is not a browser. |
| As far as web-services and remote services are concerned, JMeter looks like a browser (or rather, multiple browsers); |
| however JMeter does not perform all the actions supported by browsers. |
| In particular, JMeter does not execute the Javascript found in HTML pages. |
| Nor does it render the HTML pages as a browser does |
| (it's possible to view the response as HTML etc., but the timings are not included in any samples, and only one sample in one thread is ever viewed at a time). |
