JMeter Web Load Testing Class #1

What is JMeter?

JMeter

 100% pure java based popular open-source performance testing tool designed to cover various
categories of tests such as load testing, functional testing, performance testing.
 designed to analyses and measure the performance and load functional behaviour of web
application and variety of services.
 Nowadays it is used for functional tests, database server test and API Testing etc.

Why do we use JMeter?

What is Performance Testing?

Why do we need Performance Testing?

Before launching the final software product in the market, the product should be tested against the speed,
scalability and stability under variety of load conditions.
If the product goes live without doing performance testing, it may cause issues like slow processing and
poor usability which likely to gain a bad reputation and it affects the expected sales goal directly.

Performance testing is used to identify and eliminate the performance bottlenecks in the software
application. The testing eliminates performance glitches instead of finding bugs.

Performance testing enables stakeholders to have an idea about the application's stability, scalability, and
speed. The testing brings forward the issues that need fixing before the application reaches the market.

Write some Tools for Performance Testing?

Some of the most popular Performance Testing tools in the market are:
JMeter

Web Load

Load UI
Neo Load
LoadRunner
Write some Performance testing Types?

Load Testing
Stress testing
Endurance Testing
Spike testing
Volume testing
Load Testing:

 Modeling the expected usage by simulating multiple user access the Web services concurrently.
 Load testing is meant to test the system by constantly and steadily increasing the load on the
system until it reaches the threshold limit. This is a subset of performance testing.
 The performance is checked as per the response time and consistency on different user loads.

When do you use Load testing?

Load testing is performed to determine how many users the system can handle. You can also check out
different scenarios that let you focus on different parts of your system. Like the home page or checkout
webpage on your website for web load testing. It also helps you to determine how the load builds and
sustains in the system.

When do you Use Stress Testing?

Website and app stress tests are significant before big events such as ticket selling for a famous concert
with high demand of the people. So it is very important to test regularly to the capacity of the system
endurance. This also helps you to prepare for unexpected traffic spikes and gives more time and resources
to fix any bottlenecks.
Stress Testing Goal:
The goal of stress testing is to analyze post-crash reports to define the behavior of the application after
failure.
The biggest challenge is to ensure that the system does not compromise the security of sensitive data after
the failure. In successful stress testing, the system will return to normality along with all its components
even after the most terrible breakdown.

Endurance Testing - make sure software can handle the expected load over a long period time

Spike testing - test the software reaction to sudden large spikes in the loan generated by the users

Volume testing - Under volume testing large number of data is populated in the database and overall
the software system behavior is monitored so the objective to to check the performance under varying
database volumes
