May I introduce Apache JMeter? 18 years of experience

Since 1998 for Apache Tomcat loadtest (Stefano Mazzocchi) Recent version 3.0 (2016-05-17) Supported protocols

Web - HTTP, HTTPS, FTP SOAP/XML-RPC Database via JDBC, MongoDB, HADOOP LDAP JMS Mail - SMTP(S), POP3(S) and IMAP(S) Native commands or shell scripts

+ Highly extensible and configurable, tutorial, example templates, demos- Limited reporting capacities, Short outdated documentation, i18n

How does Apache JMeter simulate a single user?

http://jmeter-expert.blogspot.de

12


Typical steps

Create Testplan Test Testplan Run Testplan and evaluate results Document Testplan and results

Extras/schematic.cmd Testplan.jmx Testplan.html

TestPlanCheck --jmx <filename> [ --stats --tree-dump ]

jmeter -n -t <test JMX file> -l <test log file> -e -o <Path to output folder>

Tips&Tricks

Use user defined variables with same name as in request Place Login CSV Data Set Config element on login page request Use Counter element and reference {counter} variable in request i.e. {user} Use non-GUI mode: jmeter -n -t test.jmx -l test.jtl Use as few Listeners as possible e.g. disable the “View Result Tree” Use CSV output rather than XML. Only save the data that you need. Use as few Assertions as possible. Disable all JMeter graphs as they consume a lot of memory Check, document testplanTestPlanCheck': --jmx <filename> [ --stats --tree-dump ]


Four Ways To Launch a JMeter Test without JMeter GUI

1. Command line: jmeter -n -t your_script.jmx2. JMeter Ant Task ant extras/build.xml3. JMeter Maven Plugin. pom.xml mvn verify jmeter:jmeter4. from Java code

In bin/jmeter.properties "remote_hosts=localhost:1099,localhost:2010" add IP addresses of Slave-Clients, server.rmi.port=1099, server.rmi.localport=1099, client.rmi.localport=2010 On Master: jmeter -n -t script.jmx -R slave1,slave2,slave3.„Remote Start All" distribute and execute testplan and receive results, SET SERVER_PORT=1099, set REMOTE_HOSTS=master:1099"Remote Stop“, control jmeter-server.log, and have check and assert elements, to handle errors

Remote stop

Further challenges with JMeter

How to integrate JMeter in the CI-Build? How to document test plans and results? What further reporting tools are needed? Extending the Web Test Plan (ForEach Controller with User Defined

Variables (UDV), While Controller with StringFromFile Function, RegEx) How to use JMeter with Selenium/JS/mobile Apps/Cloud?
