The document discusses Apache JMeter, an open source tool for load testing web applications. It provides an overview of JMeter's capabilities including load testing web and non-web applications using various protocols. The document also summarizes new features between versions 4.0-5.0 such as new extractors for XML/JSON and an JSON assertion. It discusses using JMeter to convert LoadRunner scripts and record from mobile applications.

 Apache JMeter is open source software,
a 100% pure Java desktop application designed
to load test functional behavior and measure
performance.
It was originally designed for testing Web
Applications but has since expanded to other test
functions.
 Protocols: Web - HTTP, HTTPS; SOAP/REST; FTP;
TCP; Database via JDBC; LDAP; Mail - SMTP(S),
POP3(S) and IMAP(S); Native commands or shell
scripts;

IMAP = Internet Message Access Protocol
JDBC = Java Database Connectivity
LDAP = Lightweight Directory Access Protocol

Active Threads Over Time is a simple listener showing how many
active threads are there in each thread group during test run.

This graph displays the hits per second generated by the test plan to the server.
Hits include child samples from transactions and embedded resources hits.

This graph displays the response code per second
returned from the server during the load test.

Latency + Processing Time
= Response Time
This graph displays the response time distribution during the test.
The X axis shows the response times grouped by interval, and the
Y axis the number of samples which are contained in each interval.

13. Ginsbourg.com 13
This graph displays for each sampler the average response time in milliseconds.

14. Ginsbourg.com 14
This graph displays the percentiles for the response time values. The X Axis
represents percentage, and the Y Axis Response time values. One point (P, Value)
means for the whole scenario, P percent of the values are bellow Value ms.

15. Ginsbourg.com 15
This graph shows how Response Time changes with amount of parallel
threads. Naturally, server takes longer to respond when a lot of users
requests it simultaneously. This graph visualizes such dependencies.

16. Ginsbourg.com 16
This graph shows the number of transactions per second for each
sampler. It counts for each seconds the number of finished transactions.

During a load test, it is important to monitor the servers (localhost, Load
balancer, web server, app server, database server). Thee monitored
parameters include: CPU, Memory, Swap, Disks I/O and Networks I/O.
