description Apache JMeter Overview
Apache JMeter is an open-source Java application for testing how services behave under load. Test plans use samplers to send requests, with support for HTTP and other protocols or interfaces such as FTP, JDBC and JMS. SOAP and REST services can be exercised through suitable HTTP requests. Assertions can check response behavior, while controllers and processors shape the sequence of a test and handle values between requests.
Performance engineers and testers use JMeter to model concurrent activity, stress a service or examine sudden increases in demand. Its graphical interface helps build test plans, but substantial load tests are normally run without the interface to preserve resources. Reports and listeners support analysis of response times and errors, and plugins extend its capabilities. JMeter suits technical teams that want configurable backend testing without a software license fee, rather than a browser that renders pages.
