Performance Harness for Java Message Service

The Java Message Service API offers a vendor-neutral approach to messaging in Java and J2EE environments. For both vendors developing JMS services and customers using those services, an understanding of the performance characteristics is a key feature of creating the best solution possible.

Performance Harness for Java Message Service is a flexible and modular Java package for performance testing of JMS scenarios and providers. It provides a complete set of JMS functionality, as well as many other features such as throttled operation (a fixed rate and/or number of messages), multiple destinations, live performance reporting, JNDI, and multiple vendor plug-ins. It is one of the many tools used by performance teams for WebSphere MQ, WebSphere Business Integration Message Broker, and WebSphere Business Integration Event Broker in order to conduct tests ranging from a single client to more than 10,000 clients.

This tool is also packaged with a plug-in for performance testing of the (non-JMS) "Java for WebSphere MQ" API.

Performance Harness for Java Message Service is designed to provide you with a means of testing JMS providers and scenarios.
