JMeter

Overview

JMeter is a popular for performance testing but it is also a great tool to test other application areas like APIs, FTP servers, database performance, etc. It helps to measure and analyze the performance of web applications and other variety of services. Let's see what all is needed to integrate pCloudy with JMeter

1. Configuration of perl:

  • Download the active state Perl (https://www.activestate.com/products/perl/downloads/)
  • Install Perl in the system.

2. Saving the necessary files in the location:

  • Download the sample project for JMeter from here
  • create a jar file from this project
  • Download the jmx file (JMeter_Integration.jmx) by which we will execute the jar
  • Copy the jar file in “apache-jmeter-5.2.1\lib\ext” location
  • Add the jar path in the jmeter test plan under library
    • 1

3. Configuration of Jmeter:

  • Download latest version of java (pre-requisite for apache jmeter)
  • Download apache jmeter binaries zip file(http://jmeter.apache.org/download_jmeter.cgi)
