3. What is Jmeter?

4. What is Performance Testing?
Performance testing is a non-functional testing which measures the following
attributes of a system:
 Responsiveness
 Stability
 Scalability
 Reliability

5. Types of Performance Testing
 Load/Capacity Testing ( To check the behavior of the system on expected
load)
 Stress Testing ( To reach the maximum capacity limit of the system and make
the application behavior abnormal )
 Endurance Testing ( To check how prolonged a system can stand under large
workload or transactions )
 And many more..

6. Load Testing Tools
 Apache Jmeter (an open source tool from Apache)
 Loadrunner (commercial load testing tool from HP)
 Neoload (commercial, for Windows, Linux, Solaris)
 RPT (commercial load test tool from IBM)
 Loadimpact (commercial load testing tool and hosted )

7. Why JMeter?
 It is an Open source tool.
 Can do load and performance tests on many different server types:
 Web - HTTP, HTTPS
 SOAP
 Database via JDBC
 Mail - POP3(S) and IMAP(S)
 User friendly GUI Design compare to other tools
 Test results are more reliable compare to other open source tools
 Test results can be captured in various format like summary report, graph,
aggregate report, aggregate graph, results in tree and results in Table

8. KPI of Jmeter
 Response Time The response time means when Jmeter send the request to
the server and it takes the time to process and response receive back from
the server
 Latency The number of milliseconds that elapsed when JMeter sends the
request and when an initial response or a first byte is received back to Jmeter
 Sample Time The number of milliseconds that the server took to fully serve
the request (response + latency)
 Throughput The work done in unit time by the server is responses per minute

9. Jmeter Tools and Terminologies
 Test Plan ( Is the place where our tests live)
 Work Bench ( Used for recording scripts )
 Thread Group ( Beginning point of the Test Plan )
 No. of Threads ( Number of Users )
 Ramp-Up Period ( Time that Jmeter will take to ramp up all the users )
 Loop Count ( No. of iterations a user performs )
 Controllers ( Derive the process of a test )
 Samplers ( Samplers are the requests that Jmeter send to a server)
 Listeners ( Listeners are used to collect the information once Jmeter complete its test case )
