JMeter is an open-source load testing tool that can test static pages, dynamic resources, and perform functional tests on applications. It simulates heavy loads on servers, databases, or networks to analyze performance under different conditions. Performance testing ensures software delivers robustly under different settings by measuring an application's performance. JMeter tests web applications and services, databases, and more. It provides reports on test results to help understand an application's performance limits.

2. JMeter is an open-source,
highly extensible
application tool that helps
to perform an
application’s load test and
stress test on the
application’s static pages
and dynamic resources as
well as to perform
functional tests to
measure performance.

3. It helps to measure and
understand the application’s
performance under different
settings in order to ensure
the software delivery is going
to be robust.

4. With the Apache JMeter, you can
simulate a heavy load on a
server or group of servers,
database, or network and test
its strength to analyze the
overall web app performance
under different load types.

5. Why Do We Need
Performance Testing?

6. Functional and nonfunctional
testing are both critical steps in
the race among software
vendors to bring the application
to market quickly.

7. Properly executed tests will provide you with
the peace of mind that your application will be
high-quality and bug-free

8. Properly executed tests will provide you with
the peace of mind that your application will be
high-quality and bug-free
It is crucial, for example, if you want to assess
if your website is expecting a traffic spike from
many different locations around a campaign
that you are planning, with these tests you can
understand your limits and the highest
threshold your application or website can
handle.

9. To assess how to best cope with
situations of high-load and
complex queries, we need a
handy tool.

10. How To Do The
Performance Testing
Of An Application?

11. There are two types of testing – functional and nonfunctional
testing.
Functional Testing Nonfunctional
testing
we test if the application is
working as per the business
requirements concerning its
functionality such as design,
usability, mainline functions,
access conditions, and error
conditions, etc.
we are concerned with testing how
robust the application will perform
– whether the application has bugs
in its code that can lead to
application failure, and how it is
going to cope with high traffic
conditions.

12. There are many tools such as
for managing and testing the applications. In the next
slides, we will take a look at one of the most popular
testing tools available that developers use today

13. What Is Apache
JMeter?

14. Apache JMeter was initially
developed to test web
applications only, but over the
past decade, it has expanded to
include other areas as well.

27. What’s Next?

28. Testing the application will help you
come up with an assessment of how
to optimize your infrastructure is. In
case you need to prepare to handle
high expected traffic, then you may
need to invest in additional server
resources.

29. In many cases, a Content Delivery Network will
be the best solution for your needs. You can
use a CDN along with your application to
offload your origin’s load, which will cache
your website content within a network of
strategically placed servers all over the world.
By caching the content when the user requests
for a piece of information on your web app or
website, then it will be served from the
cached storage closest to them.

30. This way, not only the round trip time will be
reduced, but also it will reduce the load on your
origin server, helping you to utilize your
resources even under high-traffic conditions
efficiently.

31. Hence, you don’t have to invest a considerable
amount upfront to purchase additional physical
servers, which are going to demand maintenance
and operating costs even when they are not
utilized to their full capacity.
