Overall Satisfaction with Apache JMeter
JMeter is used predominantly for performance and load testing purposes. As our application stack is majorly microservice-based, thousands of APIs are developed, enhanced, and maintained to enable a satisfied customer experience. To achieve this, the APIs should meet the expected performance metrics, and JMeter helps in validating them through our SDLC release cycles.
Pros
- All kinds of response formats are supported.
- JMS or message based systems can also be tested seamlessly.
- Pluggable samplers, visualization tools are helpful.
- Open source and free.
Cons
- JMeter's UI or frontend can be improved to be more lightweight.
- Not ideal for user based performance testing, since no support for final rendering.
- System resource-intensive.
- Positive impact in meeting the NFRs.
- Stable tool.
- Easily integrated into SDLC process pipelines.
BlazeMeter is a cloud offering and can be useful if you don't have dedicated system resources for doing load testing. It also avoids cases where the testing system becomes the bottleneck.
