This document discusses performance testing and tools for performance testing like JMeter. It provides details on how JMeter can be used to perform load testing and performance testing on different protocols. It outlines the steps to build test plans to test the performance of web applications and databases using JMeter including adding users, requests, listeners and more.

2. Performance Testing
• Non-functional testing
• How fast some aspect of a system performs under a particular
workload?
• Can Compare two systems to find which performs better?
• Identifies bottlenecks.

4. JMeter
• JMeter is a software that can perform load test, performance-oriented business
functional test, regression test, etc., on different protocols or technologies.
• JMeter is a Java desktop application with a graphical interface that uses the
Swing graphical API.
• It can therefore run on any environment / workstation that accepts a Java virtual
machine, for example − Windows, Linux, Mac, etc.
