Performance Test!. When we say this term, one of the first things that gets into our mind is 'Jmeter'.
Jmeter is the go-to tool for the performance testing needs in open source community. It is built completely using Java, designed to perform load test and measure performance. It can simulate load on a server, group of servers, network to check the threshold limit and analyze performance under different types of loads. Vast list of plug-ins which extends jmeter capabilities and making it handle most of the performance test requirements.
Mostly the Jmeter GUI is used to create the scripts, configure the users, capture other details and execute the scripts. But, when it comes to integrate the performance tests to code driven automation frameworks, one has to switch to Jmeter GUI to create scripts & fallback to framework to execute the jmeter scripts. In order to make the integration seamless, Jmeter scripts can be created & executed during runtime using code driven framework. Below code snippet would lead you to achieve the same.
Below snippet will let you create a jmeter script (jmx) for a webservice by adding minimal elements to test plan. Typical hierarchy of a web request in a jmx would be as below:
Test Plan à Thread Group à Sampler à Assertions à Listeners
Steps:
- Create a maven project through eclipse or any IDE.
- Add the below Jmeter dependencies in your POM file:
- ApacheJMeter_core
- ApacheJMeter_components
- ApacheJMeter_http
- jorphan
- ApacheJMeter_java
- Create a class named "APITest" and copy the below code snippet
- Change the service details & file locations accordingly.
- DONE..! You are all set to create and run the jmeter script from java.
