Overall Satisfaction with Apache JMeter
Apache JMeter helps ensure our performance targets are met for release, and quantifies changes we make in the name of performance. Without it, we end up with custom code written by system testers or QA that don't always fully understand how code evolves, and then inevitably we have to throw it away in a year. Apache JMeter allows developers to run standardized performance tests ahead of QA.
- Easy to get started with
- Good, straightforward UI
- Deep options for fine tweaking under uncommon scenarios
- Some options are arcane and misleading
- Results are too easily skewed by poor methodology
- Open source
- Apache license
- Broadly used
- It is a almost-standard tool we use in presenting release checkpoints
- It probably saves multiple days per release of validation efforts
- It has helped developers get unstuck (perhaps saving them 2-3 days)
