JMeter is a Java-based programming software – open source – developed by The Apache Jakarta Project. Designed for load and performance testing, this tool can test both static and dynamic resources, including web applications, Servlets, Perl scripts, Java Objects, databases, queries, FTP servers, etc. It can simulate heavy loads on servers, networks, or just objects, and even includes some regression and functional testing capabilities. JMeter also provides graphical analyses of results from load testing. Despite being commonly mistaken as a web-browser, this tool is a valuable asset to test engineers.

Automation Excellence has had an exceptional record with JMeter, using it for clients looking to evaluate the stress levels of their servers and locate performance bottlenecks. AE has handled the performance testing of several large healthcare, home builder, and natural resource companies with this tool.
