Load Testing Guide with JMeter Insights

Load testing is a performance testing method that simulates real-world user loads on software applications to assess their capacity and stability. It answers critical questions about user limits and system performance under stress, using tools like JMeter for simulation and analysis. JMeter is an open-source tool designed for performance testing, allowing users to create test plans, configure thread groups, and analyze results effectively.

Why to do load testing?


To answer the following questions:

How many users can work simultaneously ?

How long can users work before server restart ?

What happen when a specific high number of


users are working with the server for an
extended period?

Simulation (Virtual Users) Monitoring, Analysis Trust & Confidence Building


Simulate real-world traffic using virtual users to & Optimization Once the system performs reliably under
mimic actual usage patterns. expected load:
Monitor key metrics during the test, such as:
Apply various load conditions on your system • Build trust in scalability
Response times, Throughput, Error rates
using tools like JMeter or Locust, ... etc. • Ensure system stability before going live
Analyze the results to identify bottlenecks
• Gain confidence from stakeholders and

Load Testing - Jmeter?
What is Jmeter ?

What is Jmeter ?
JMeter is an open-source testing tool used to analyze and measure software and product
performance. The tool is completely Java-based and provides performance, load testing.

Previously, JMeter originally developed for the web applications, but now it has been extended
to various other functions.
Download & Install JMeter

1. Download Jmeter
01 02 2. Extraction
Download latest zip version for binaries Extract downloaded zip file, open bin
from : folder.
[Link]

3. Java check 4. Running


Make sure that your java installed version
is compatible with jmeter version.
04 03 open cmd inside the bin folder,
command java -jar [Link]
open cmd, command java -version
1. Create test plan

we can create test plans that include


all tests on a project / phase.

2. Create Thread Group


3. Thread Group

Most used Thread group config


parameters:
• “Number of threads (users)” :
number of simultaneous users who
are going to hit the requests you’re
going to add in the group
• “Ramp-up period (seconds) : the
period that the users are going to
hit the requests in
Ex : [500 users (Number of
threads ) are going to login in 2
seconds (Ramp-up period)].
• “Loop count” : repeating times for
the mentioned process.
4. Create Sampler
(ex. http request )
to specify the requests you want to
simulate

5. Fill Request details

fill request details, at least the


required inputs : Protocol,
HTTP Method,
Path / URL
6. Run the requests inside
the thread group
run the added requests through the
configurations in the Thread Group
7. Create listener

create listener to archive / report /


analyze the tests

8. Run again

Run again to see the results inside


the listener
