Azure Load Testing Series - Configure Jmeter

About this blog

Hey folks!, In tis blog we will see in detail about Apache Jmeter.

GUI walkthrough

Jmeter TestPlan

• It can visualized as a script for running tests
• It helps us to define the sequential flow of our business use case
• It is saved in form of JMX extension file which is required in Azure Load Testing framework to run tests

Jmeter ThreadGroups

• It represents the group of threads Jmeter will be using during the load test.
• It allows us to

  • Set the number of threads
    Number of users we will require for our testing

  • Set the ramp-up period
    How much time JMeter should take to start the total number of threads

  • Set the loop count
    Number of times the thread/user performs a particular test

Configure HTTP Request

• Goto ThreadGroups->Add->Sampler->HTTP Request . It will allow you to specify the endpoint that we want to test

• Provide Url in the Path to start testing

Add Listeners

• We can configure listeners on each requests that we sent as of the test plan.
• You can find the list of options on right click HTTP Request->Add->Listener

View ResultTree

• This listener will show us the response data and status of each request
• Click on Run icon to start the test
• Result tree will be updated based on the configurations you provided in the thread group
• Right now , it will execute only once as per our configurations we did earlier

View SummaryReport

• You can find details about response time , throughputs and other details in this report

Aggregate Graph

• You can visualize the average response time in graph format with this listener

Next steps

In our next blog we will see how to pass access token dynamically and execute a test plan with 10 concurrent users
