<p> | |
<b>Apache JMeter</b> is a 100% pure Java desktop application designed | |
to load test client/server software | |
(such as a <a href="build-web-test-plan.html">web application</a>). It may be used | |
to test performance both on static and dynamic | |
resources such as static files, Java Servlets, CGI scripts, Java objects, <a href="build-db-test-plan.html">databases</a>, | |
<a href="build-ftp-test-plan.html">FTP servers</a>, and more. JMeter can be used to simulate a heavy | |
load on a server, network or object to test its strength or to analyze | |
overall performance under different load types.</p> | |
<p> | |
Additionally, JMeter can help you regression test your application by letting you create | |
test scripts with <a href="test_plan.html#assertions">assertions</a> to validate that your application is returning the | |
results you expect. For maximum flexibility, JMeter lets you create these assertions using | |
regular expressions.</p> | |
<p>But please note that JMeter is not a browser.</p> | |
<subsection name="1.1 History" anchor="history"> | |
<p>Stefano Mazzocchi of the Apache Software Foundation was the original developer of JMeter. | |
He wrote it primarily to test the performance of Apache JServ (a project that has | |
since been replaced by the Apache Tomcat project). We redesigned JMeter to enhance the GUI | |
and to add functional-testing capabilities. | |
</p> | |
</subsection> | |
<subsection name="1.2 The Future" anchor="future"> | |
<p>We hope to see JMeter's capabilities rapidly expand as developers take advantage of its | |
pluggable architecture. The primary goal of further development is to make JMeter the most | |
useful regression testing tool as possible, without compromising JMeter's load-testing | |
capabilities.</p> | |
