1. Brief Introduction To JMeter

2. JMeter as a Tool
 JAVA based tool
 Can be used for performance, load,
stress and functional testing as well
 Request-Response methodology
 No intensive scripting
 Open Source tool
 No Auto-Correlation
 Easy to setup

3. JMeter Components
 Test Plan > Test Suite containing
multiple test scenarios
 Thread Group > Virtual Users
 Samplers > Request Elements (HTTP,
JMS, Web Services etc.)
 Controllers > Logic Controllers (like of,
while, for etc.)
 Listeners > Reporting Elements
 Config Elements
 Pre & Post Processors
 Proxy Server > For Recording

4. JMeter Plug-ins
 Add-ons developed by the community
 Provides support for additional
protocols, listeners(graphs), thread
groups
 Has dependency with JMeter version
 Useful for extracting better results
than default JMeter

5. Imp Configuration Files for
JMeter
 Jmeter.properties
• Distributed test configuration
• Listener save properties
• Proxy server configuration
• RMI Port settings
• Exclude patterns while recording
• Jmeter.bat
• JAVA option settings like HEAP memory
which limits/controls max VU

6. Pitfalls while using JMeter
 Selection of listeners
 HEAP Memory sizing
 No of VUs configured per load
generator
