Apache JMeter

Apache JMeter

9781847192950 (1847192955), Packt Publishing, 2008

JMeter is a powerful, easy-to-use, and FREE load-testing tool. Those are my first impressions of JMeter, a testing tool I've recently fallen in love with—not blindly. With this book, I share with you my experience with JMeter.

When I was first assigned to use JMeter to perform testing on a particular web application, I went all out looking for anything on JMeter. Despite plenty of online manuals, article and newsgroup posts, printed or e-books were nowhere to be found. So, when one of the editors of Packtpub approached me with this idea of writing a book on JMeter, I could hear myself saying: "Had there been a book on JMeter, I would have bought one at any cost. Since no one has written any, why not I write one?" After much contemplation and work, here is the result—what you are reading
right now.

What The Book Is About

This book is about using basic testing tools in JMeter that support software load and regression test automation. JMeter can be used to test static and dynamic resources over a wide range of client/server software (e.g. web applications). For simplicity, this book will focus on a narrowed aspect of JMeter while demonstrating practical tests on both static and dynamic resources of a web application. As this small book is an introductory reference, it is ideally designed to pave the path for the reader to get more detailed insight on JMeter, and what more it can do beyond this reference.
