Apache JMeter is a Java application designed to load test functional behavior and measure performance. It can be used to test performance on a wide variety of services, including static and dynamic resources. It provides a complete GUI to build test plans and visualize results.
Key Features:
  • Full multithreading framework allowing concurrent sampling
  • GUI for building test plans and analyzing performance
  • Extensible via plugins for protocols and functions
  • Supports recording HTTP/HTTPS traffic via proxy
  • Distributed testing capabilities
Use Cases:
  • Load testing web applications to determine performance under stress
  • Simulating heavy user loads to identify system bottlenecks
  • Testing API performance and response times
Alternatives:
  • k6 – Modern, developer-centric load testing tool using JavaScript/Go scripts
  • Locust – Python-based, distributed load testing with code-defined user behavior
  • Gatling – Scala-based tool with high performance and excellent HTML reports
