1. Download the
binary
You can get the binary here.
2. Unzip the
tarball/zip file
I extracted it file to /Users/theo/tools/jakarta-jmeter-2.3.1
3. Start up
JMeter- It seem like to (Double click on Jmeter.bat files)
Create a Test Plan:
4. Create a Thread Group:
Thread Group:
Thread Group is the
beginning point of any Test Plan. Thread Group is set of request that simulate
the user actions and all the elements of Test Plan should be under Thread
Group. It works like LoadRunner Scenario. In Thread Group we define the Number
of User, Ramp Up, and Loop Count.
- Number of Thread (User), as a
name we define the number of users, who will simulate the performance test
steps.
- Ramp-Up option used to set the
time that waited between each and every user run. Suppose if you have
define 5 then each and every user will activate after 5 seconds. All the
time will be in seconds.
- Loop Count is the option where
we set that how many times users will repeat the actions.
5. Add a Sampler: With the help of sampler JMeter send the request
to web server.
A sampler is a type of
request you want to make. In this example, I used an HTTP request to test load
to a web server. It’s good to note JMeter supports multiple types of samplers
including web services, JMS, and JDBC. Add a sampler by selecting the Thread
Group you just created, right-click, select Add -> Sampler -> HTTP
Request.
Configurable properties
include:
- Server Name – what the ip or url
is to the server the request it to
- Port – the port the server is
listening to
- Protocol – the protocol (http,
https, etc)
- Method – HTTP method (POST,GET,
PUT, DELETE, etc)
- Path – the URL path to request
6. Add a Listener:
Listener is same as Result window of any tools. It will help to
analyze the test result. JMeter provides different kind of Listener which we
used according to our needs.
See JMeter is having lots of element of Test Plan but these are
enough to create sample script for Web Application. For the more details about
Test Plan element refer this link.
7. Run the test!
