Given below is the description of the JMeter directories and its importance JMeter directory contains many files and directory
  • /bin: Contains JMeter script file for starting JMeter
  • /docs: JMeter documentation files
  • /extras: ant related extra files
  • /lib/: Contains the required Java library for JMeter
  • /lib/ext: contains the core jar files for JMeter and the protocols
  • /lib/junit: Junit library used for JMeter
  • /printable_docs:

Step 4) Launch JMeter

You can start JMeter in 3 modes
  • GUI Mode
  • Server Mode
  • Command Line Mode

Start JMeter in GUI Mode

If you are using Window, just run the file /bin/jmeter.bat to start JMeter in GUI mode as shown below

The following figure annotates the various components in the JMeter GUI

How to run JMeter in Non-GUI Mode

Start JMeter in Server Mode

Server mode is used for distributed testing. This Testing works as a client-server model. In this model, JMeter runs on a server computer in server mode. On a client computer, JMeter runs in GUI mode.
To start the server mode, you run the bat file bin\jmeter-server.bat as below figure

Start JMeter in command line mode

JMeter in GUI mode consumes much computer memory. For saving the resource, you may choose to run JMeter without the GUI. To do so, use the following command options

This is a command line example
$jmeter -n -t testPlan.jmx - l log.jtl -H 127.0.0.1 -P 8000

Additional Packages

Based on your requirement, you will need one or more optional packages listed below.
  • Java Compiler
Java Compiler allows developers to build JMeter source code and other JMeter plugins
  • SAX XML parser
SAX is the Simple API for XML, originally a Java-only API. You can use SAX XML parser as an alternative to XML parser in JMeter
  • Email Support
JMeter has extensive Email capabilities. It can send email based on test results and has a POP3(S)/IMAP(S) sampler. It also has an SMTP sampler.
  • JDBC driver
If you want to test database server, you have to install JDBC driver

Use JMeter in Linux

  • Using JMeter in Linux is the same as in Window; you simply run the following shell script.
  • Run the script file jmeter (This file has no extension)- run JMeter (in GUI mode by default).
You can run the script using "sh jmeter.sh" command from Terminal. Please go to the directory where jmeter.sh file exist from terminal and then execute the command. You can find this in bin directory.
  • Run the script file jmeter-server - start JMeter in server mode (calls JMeter script with appropriate parameters)
  • jmeter.sh - very basic JMeter script with no JVM options specified.
  • mirror-server.sh - runs the JMeter Mirror Server in non-GUI mode
  • shutdown.sh - Run the Shutdown client to stop a non-GUI instance gracefully
  • stoptest.sh - Run the Shutdown client to stop a non-GUI instance abruptly

REST API Test using Rest Assured This test will hit a simple Restful web service. Details of the Restful Web service are mentioned in the below table:   Endpoint   http://restapi.demoqa.com/utilities/weather/city/<City> HTTP method type :   GET   Comments :   Here  <City>  means the city for which we are trying to retrieve the weather data. For e.g. if you want to know the weather conditions of Hyderabad, you would simple replace the  <City>  text with  Hyderabad.  The Restful resource URL for Hyderabad becomes:  http://restapi.demoqa.com/utilities/weather/city/Hyderabad   Response { “City”: “Hyderabad”, “Temperature”: “31.49 Degree celsius”, “Humidity”: “62 Percent”, “Weather Description”: “scattered clouds”, “Wind Speed”: “3.6 Km per hour”, “Wind Direction degree”: “270 Degree” } Why not just try to open  http://restapi.demoqa.com/utilities/weather/city/Hyderabad ...
