Apache JMeter - Test Automation Tool
Software testing is a vital part of the software development process and
this phase takes increasingly more importance as the target system gets
more complex and large. The EDMS/MTF system currently stores data on
more than 800,000 documents and 1,000,000 pieces of equipment. It allows
a wide range of functionality from creation and distribution of
documents to registration and maintenance of equipment.
Testing a system with such dimensions makes manual testing virtually
impossible and therefore demands the use of test automation tools. The
chosen test tool for EDMS/MTF system testing was Apache JMeter, a pure
Java desktop application designed to load test functional behavior and
measure performance. It was originally designed for testing Web
Applications but has since expanded to other test functions.
During this presentation, the JMeter test tool will be presented along
with complementary tools such as BadBoy, used for test scenario
creation. JMeter's main functionalities will be discussed with
particular focus on Web Application testing applied to EDMS/MTF testing.
A tutorial on test scenario creation will be given to better show the
tool's capabilities and its usefulness in software testing in various
domains.
