Overall Satisfaction with JMeter
Jmeter is used within our department for REST API Functional and non-functional test automation. It is fast and reliable and quite extensible, that's why we are using it. A single testing module can be made and very highly paramterized such that it would be executed many times with various parameters combinations. It is also easily integrated with Jenkins as a CI framework.
- REST API Functional and Non-Functional Automated Testing.
- Stress and Load Automated Testing.
- Highly Parameterized Test Modules.
- Excellent Integration with CI Frameworks such as Jenkins.
- Documentation is not user-friendly, you may need quite an extensive amount of time to resolve an issue.
- Post processing of page responses is not easy to understand and needs long time to learn, although quite powerful.
- Time invested to on-board the application and understand its power, and be able to learn it, can be long.
- Using Jmeter we were able to have an extensive reliable test suite.
- Using Jmeter and Jenkins, Our test suite guarantees reliability of our API at all times - i.e. continuously.
- Because Jmeter UI is not intuitive, not all our team members were willing to deal with it.
