Apache JMeterApache JMeter

• Description

Apache JMeter is open source software, a 100% pure Java desktop application designed to load test functional behavior and measure performance. It was originally designed for testing Web Applications but has since expanded to other test functions. In JMeter server computers, JMeter server is started to receive test plan from Whatsup installed computer, JMeter client, and carry out the testing process. The sample result is then transferred back to JMeter client for parsing and test against threshold values.
