JMeter Introduction

When designing a web architecture, it is crucial that the server be capable of handling heavy loads. While this is an important requirement of any web design project, it is also difficult to perform realistic testing with human users. The sheer number of users and machines needed to provide a realistic test make such manual methods prohibitive. This is where utilities such as JMeter step in, making such "load testing" possible without legions of volunteers.

RSpec for Behavior Driven Design in Ruby

RSpec is a tool produced with the intent of making use case testing simpler in Ruby. Traditional Ruby on Rails unit testing can become complicated and hard to manage when working with a large project. The harder the testing becomes, the more time that unit testing consumes. With RSpec, however, testing scenarios are put in simpler terms and the Ruby code to do the test is generated automatically. This can do wonders to simplify unit testing.

JMeter Review

Selenium for Web Application Testing

Selenium LogoSelenium is an open source project dedicated to providing a simple and flexible means of web application testing. Unlike client side load testers such as JMeter, Selenium is intended to test for correctness of presentation and functionality. As a testing tool, Selenium offers a finer level of control over the actions of virtual users. Developed as a Firefox plugin, Selenium users can quickly build complicated tests that involve navigating through several pages. This allows an engineer to create tests that mimic typical user behaviors, such as logging in and interacting with the web site.

Is JMeter the Load Testing Tool for your Website?

Websites have evolved significantly since the inception of the internet from simple pages that conveyed information to interactive entities that users can manipulate and utilize for many different purposes. As websites evolved and became more complicated so did the possible interaction between web users and websites giving websites more and more complicated programs, applications, and coding. The increased functionality of websites made them more useful for visitors but also created more ways for the new more complicated programming to fail.

Software Testing Program - Selenium Core

Selenium Core is a software testing tool for website applications. With this test program web developers can test the functionality of their website applications with a variety of browsers and under a variety of conditions simulating the different visitors that can use the web site. Selenium Core runs directly in a browser just like real users and supports different operating systems, Windows, Linux, Mac, and browsers including Internet Explorer, Mozilla and Firefox.

Apache JMeter

This open source Apache project is available at http://jakarta.apache.org/jmeter/. JMeter is a mature project with many contributers that was originally developed by Stefano Mazzocchi of Apache. It is a Java desktop application that is used to simulate a load on a web server, web application or other network resource. JMeter is an active project with 200-500 postings a month on its user mailing list and hundreds more on its developer mailing list.
