Apache Jmeter Best Practices and Performance Tuning Tips: Naveenkumar Namachivayam

This document provides best practices and performance tuning tips for Apache Jmeter. It recommends: 1) running Jmeter in non-GUI mode without listeners or graphs added to test plans; 2) using remote and distributed testing for large loads; 3) not loading more than 300 threads per Jmeter engine; and 4) monitoring command prompts and logs during testing. It also provides tips for optimizing output formats, only including relevant assertions and post-processors, avoiding XPath extractors, using Groovy for scripting, and generating reports.
