JMeter Tutorial

jMeter is an Open Source testing software. It is 100% pure Java application for load and performance testing. jMeter is designed to cover categories of tests like load, functional, performance, regression, etc., and it requires JDK 5 or higher. the purpose of this page is to give basic understanding of the Tool and to see implantation on ONAP SDC Components.

Jmeter have the ability to create fragments in order to use the same step for all the other Tests, still you only allow to use it but not to chnge it from your current test.

In addition i will show the ability to generate HTML reports using the CSV file created after the test finished.

Installing Apache JMeter

Before installing JMeter it is essential to check the presence of Java in your machine as JMeter is a Java based application. If it isn't installed, use the following command to do the same. 

^{root@linuxhelp:~# java -version java version "1.7.0_111" OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea 2.6.7) (7u111-2.6.7-2~deb8u1) OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.111-b01, mixed mode)}

Once Java is installed, go to the Apache JMeter’s download page and download the latest stable version of Apache JMeter. Use the following command. 

^{[root@linuxhelp1 ~]# wget http://www.gtlib.gatech.edu/pub/apache//jmeter/binaries/apache-jmeter-3.1.tgz --2016-12-23 15:23:52-- http://www.gtlib.gatech.edu/pub/apache//jmeter/binaries/apache-jmeter-3.1.tgz Resolving www.gtlib.gatech.edu (www.gtlib.gatech.edu)... 128.61.111.7, 128.61.111.9, 128.61.111.8, ...

Once the file is downloaded, extract its content with the help of the following command. 

^{[root@linuxhelp1 ~]# tar -xf apache-jmeter-3.1.tgz}

Change directory to apache-jmeterxxx > bin by running the following command. 

^{[root@linuxhelp1 ~]# cd apache-jmeter-3.1/bin/}

Now is the time to install JMeter with the help of the following command. 

^{[root@linuxhelp1 bin]# ./jmeter Writing log file to: /root/apache-jmeter-3.1/bin/jmeter.log ================================================================================ Don't use GUI mode for load testing, only for Test creation and Test debugging ! For load testing, use NON GUI Mode & adapt Java Heap to your test requirements ================================================================================ Dec 23, 2016 4:21:14 PM java.util.prefs.FileSystemPreferences$1 run INFO: Created user preferences directory.}

Once Apache JMeter is launched, you can use it for testing. 

Wasn't the installation quite simple? Apache JMeter may be used to test performance both on static and dynamic resources. JMeter can be used to simulate a heavy load on a server, group of servers, network or object to test its strength or to analyze overall performance under different load types.

Take a look at the following figure that depicts how JMeter works −

System Requirement

Jmeter as a performance Tool:

Jmeter have the ability to run performance tests due to the configuration of the multi threading of many users running on the system with definition of numbers of the Threads(Users)/Duration(Sec)/Ramp-Up(window time for action).

also you can run in loop the set of actions or even

PSB Example For VF Creation on SDC:

Summery(TBD):

Tool advantages(TBD):

• Have the ability to run multi threded controled Actions.

• Have Fregments configuration in order to use on several tests that implament the same action step.

• Have ability to simulate user intrection during a day flow on the APP/System(gaussian bell).

Tool Disadvantages(TBD):
