Apache 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 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.
Apache JMeter is a handy and reliable desktop application designed to load test functional behaviour and measure performance.
Here are some key features of "Apache JMeter":
· Full multithreading framework allows concurrent sampling by many threads and simultaneous sampling of different functions by separate thread groups.
· Careful GUI design allows faster operation and more precise timings.
· Caching and offline analysis/replaying of test results.
Highly Extensible:
· Pluggable Samplers allow unlimited testing capabilities.
· Several load statistics may be choosen with pluggable timers .
· Data analysis and visualization plugins allow great extensibility as well as personalization.
· Functions can be used to provide dynamic input to a test or provide data manipulation.
Requirements:
· Java 1.5 or later
