Apache JMeter Tutorial

Apache JMeter is an open-source load-testing tool. It is a desktop application for load testing and performance measurement. JMeter is primarily designed to perform load testing on web applications (Client-server model based applications).

What is Load Testing (Performance Testing)

Load testing is performed to determine the system behavior on high load conditions (Ex: Working with parallel users, increasing transaction per second etc.,). Load testing is used to identify maximum operating system capacity.

In this tutorial series, you are going to learn, how to use JMeter in your Applications.
