Apache JMeter features and uses:
Apache JMeter is a performance tool developed in Java.
Supports both load and performance tests,
Supports different applications/server/protocol types,
Web – HTTP, HTTPS – i.e application made in Java, NodeJS, PHP, ASP.NET etc
SOAP / REST Webservices, FTP , LDAP & TCP etc.
Additionally it supports Database via JDBC, Message-oriented middleware via JMS, Mail – SMTP(S), POP3(S) and IMAP(S), also Native commands or shell scripts & Java Objects
LoadRunner version 12.53
I am yet to try the trial version of LoadRunner 12.53, However I read the following are some of the features shall be available for users
Git integration in VuGen
REST step builder editor in VuGen
64-bit replay support in various Java protocols and C Vuser protocol
New PCoIP remote access protocol
Enhanced SAPUI5 recording in TruClient
HTTP Video Streaming (HTML5, HLS) support
JSON manipulation APIs
Web – HTTP/HTML and Mobile Application – HTTP/HTML protocol unification
Linux load generator improvements
Enhancements to Java-based protocols etc are main features that I would like to try..
Monitors function to monitor the performance bottlenecks. Controller section shows the monitor
Load balance testing. Load balancing is a method of balancing the network traffic to make sure network transactions are distributed across all the servers. for e.g if a server fails during heavy applied in them, load balancer will redirect the transactions to remaining servers. Basically Load balance acts as a reverse proxy. During performance testing this feature is tested usually.
Vuser generator – used for generating Scripts
Controller – used for creating and executing scenarios
Analyzer – used for analyzing results
Functions in recording the pre-operations or initialization operations before the actual application is run.
Monitors Functions to monitor the performance bottlenecks. Controller section shows the monitor
Rendezvous point is Synchronization or Wait point. Rendezvous points makes Vusers to wait during test execution and multiple Vusers will simultaneously perform a task.
Rendezvous is mainly used to emulate heavy load on a particular scenario/ transaction to test the application behavior.
Correlation is used to manage dynamic values like session ids which cause failure during script playback. Correlation makes sure dynamic values are not hardcoded.
Note1 : In loadrunner Manual Correlation uses a function named Web_reg_save_param() in code to handle the issue.
Note2 : In Jmeter Regular expression extractor is used to handle this where server response will be parsed by Regular expression extractor
