JMeter

JMeter is an open-source load-testing tool that can be used to measure the performance and scalability of web applications and APIs. It allows users to simulate a large number of users making requests to a server and provides metrics on how the server responds to those requests.

JMeter can be used to perform a variety of tests, including:

• Load testing: simulating a large number of users making requests to a server to see how it performs under heavy load.
• Performance testing: measuring the response time of a server for different numbers of users and requests.
• Stress testing: simulating a large number of users making requests to a server to see how it performs under extreme loads.
• Functional testing: testing the functionality of a web application by simulating user interactions and asserting the expected results.

JMeter can be used to test a wide range of server-side technologies, including web applications, web services, and databases. It supports a wide range of protocols including HTTP, HTTPS, SOAP, JDBC, LDAP, JMS, and more.

JMeter is a widely used tool among performance testers, developers, and DevOps teams, as it helps them to identify and troubleshoot performance bottlenecks and improve the scalability of their systems. It can also be integrated with other tools such as Jenkins for automating the load testing process in the continuous integration pipeline.
