| <p>Stefano Mazzocchi of the Apache Software Foundation was the original developer of JMeter. |
| He wrote it primarily to test the performance of Apache JServ (a project that has |
| since been replaced by the Apache Tomcat project). We redesigned JMeter to enhance the GUI |
| and to add functional-testing capabilities. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p>JMeter became a Top Level Apache project in November 2011, which means it has a Project Management Committee and a dedicated website.</p> |
| </subsection> |
| |
| <subsection name="§-num;.2 The Future" anchor="future"> |
| <p>We hope to see JMeter's capabilities rapidly expand as developers take advantage of its |
| pluggable architecture. <br/> |
| The primary goal of further developments will be: |
| <ul> |
| <li>Support of HTTP/2 protocol</li> |
| <li>Possible rework of core architecture to introduce a pool of threads or switch to async model allowing us to take advantage of async io</li> |
| <li>Enhancements to Webservices protocols (REST / SOAP)</li> |
| <li>Enhancements to JMS protocol implementation</li> |
| <li>…</li> |
| </ul> |
