Apache JMeter
Apache JMeter is an open-source Java application designed for load testing functional behavior and measuring performance. It supports web applications, REST APIs, databases, LDAP, FTP, and other protocols. Licensed under Apache 2.0 and governed by the Apache Software Foundation.
APIs
Apache JMeter REST API
The JMeter REST API provides HTTP endpoints for remotely starting, stopping, and monitoring load tests, as well as retrieving test results and status information.
Apache JMeter CLI
JMeter command-line interface for running load tests in non-GUI mode for CI/CD integration, including options for test plan execution, result reporting, and distributed testing.
Capabilities
Apache JMeter Load Test Management
Workflow capability for QA engineers and performance engineers to manage and monitor Apache JMeter load tests via the REST API.
Run with NaftikoFeatures
Test web applications and REST APIs with configurable thread groups and ramp-up.
Support for HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, JDBC, LDAP, SMTP, TCP, and JMS.
Distributed load generation using JMeter remote testing architecture.
Built-in listeners and HTML dashboard reporting for test results.
Extensive plugin marketplace for additional samplers, listeners, and functions.
Non-GUI mode and REST API for integration with Jenkins, GitHub Actions, and more.
Response assertion engine for functional validation during load tests.
Use Cases
Measure REST API response times and throughput under load.
Simulate concurrent users on web applications to find performance bottlenecks.
Integrate performance testing into CI/CD pipelines with automated pass/fail criteria.
Determine system breaking points through progressive load increase.
Integrations
