The document compares Apache JMeter and LoadRunner, two tools used for load testing client/server applications. JMeter is an open-source, free tool with unlimited load generation capacity and is easier to execute compared to LoadRunner, which is a paid software with limited load capacity that requires scripting knowledge. JMeter is user-friendly for less experienced engineers, while LoadRunner's complexity is heightened due to its thread management and configuration needs.
