  2. Agenda • Performance/Load testing • What is JMeter? • What is a JMeter Test Plan ? • Test Plan Elements • Demo.

  3. Testing – Performance/Load • Performance testing • How fast an application under a particular workload • Demonstrates that the system meets the performance criteria • Validate and verify the quality attributes. • Load testing • Modeling the expected usage by simulating the multiple users accessing the web services concurrently. • Test when does the web application blow up?

  4. JMeter • Apache JMeter : - 100% pure Java desktop open source application - Full Swing and lightweight component - Designed for functional/performance/load testing - Simulate heavy load (application/ server/network) - Full multithreading framework - Different protocol types (HTTP/FTP/JDBC/SOAP/JMS,..)

  5. JMeter - Test plan • A test plan describes a series of steps JMeter will execute when run. • Test plans consist of: • Thread groups • Samplers • Logical controllers • Listeners • Timers • Assertions • Configuration elements

  6. Thread Groups • Thread group element is the beginning point of any test plan (All controllers and samplers must be under a thread group) • Each thread represents a user (e.g. setting the thread group to 1000 simulates 1000 users)

  7. Samplers • Samplers tell JMeter to send requests to a server and wait for a response. • Do the actual work in JMeter and interact with the server you are loading. • Examples for Samplers: FTP Request - HTTP Request - JDBC Request - WebService (SOAP) Request ,…

  8. Listeners • The information produced by samplers are consumed by listeners • Listener shows details of sampler requests and responses, and can display basic HTML and XML representations of the response. • Popular listeners: • Graph Results (plots the response times on a graph) • View Results Tree Note : all Listeners save the same data; the only difference is in the way the data is presented on the screen.

  9. Logic controllers • Control the flow of the test plan. • Customize the logic that JMeter uses to decide when to send requests. • Logic controllers: • Loops • Conditionals • Ordering • Only once controllers • Interleave controllers

  10. Assertions • Allow you to assert facts about responses received from the server being tested for functional testing. • You can add an assertion to any Sampler • Example assertions for HTTP Request Sampler: • Response code • Response text • HTML assertion

  11. Configuration Elements • Set default values for other parts of the test plan as well as configure variables. • A configuration element works closely with a Sampler. • Examples: - HTTP Request Defaults: Save the time when doing lots of HTTP Samplers - HTTP Cookie Manager: used with HTTP Request samplers to automatically send cookies with the request

  12. Timers • By default, a JMeter thread sends requests without pausing between each request. • The timer will cause JMeter to delay a certain amount of time before each request that a thread makes.
