Initially, Apache JMeter had a complex configuration; its UI was tricky and required a lot of resources. Creating scripts and running tests on Apache JMeter was always confusing, but nowadays, with more documentation and UI enhancements, Apache JMeter has improved. Previously, recording and creating scripts was tricky, and you had to do it manually. Now there's a recording facility in Apache JMeter that lets you create and modify scripts and test faster, which helped improve my organization.

JMeter is basically the art of the entire performance testing process. We generate load on our application using JMeter and then monitor various metrics like CPU with different monitoring tools. It's the essential foundation for our performance testing.

JMeter helps us track response times between request and response. As we increase our workload, response times also rise, indicating potential bottlenecks. We use JMeter to gauge when we need to upgrade hardware or optimize our application for better performance. It's effective in measuring various request types and their corresponding response times, making it a valuable tool for assessing system performance.

Initially, we didn't have any tool for performance testing, particularly open source. JMeter, since it is open source, we can test our APIs pretty quickly and we can work with different teams to provide performance testing very quickly. It doesn't take up much of our time.

Test automation moves our organization close to rapidly deploying products. Unit and Integration testing is easy to automate, and most organizations perform these as part of their day-to-day operations. However, end-to-end testing, smoke testing, load testing, and performance testing are much harder to automate. Apache JMeter has aided in that challenge.

The solution is open source, so we don't have to pay for anything. That is a good thing since we can save the licensing costs, et cetera, as an organization. If you go for an expensive tool like LoadRunner or even Loyalty or Locust, you'll have to spend from your budget. JMeter has everything we need without the cost.

The tool has been a great help to our organization, which is focused more on quality testing as opposed to performance testing. It's provided a lot of insights. With the digital transformation that is currently happening, the need for that shift was rather critical.

It helps them to look into several parameters. For example, when you have certified test cases that are predominantly repeated on an application, you can execute the same thing with increased load. You can see how the application responds and if there is an impact on the response time of the application. You can confine it to certain parameter conditions and then start making changes to see how it performs. You can see where the RAM or CPUs are stagnant and not increased.

Apache JMeter provided us with the opportunity to test applications for clients who did not have the budget to employ heavy-duty tools like LoadRunner.

Additionally, due to ease of installation, it can be installed in any client network, without the requirement for port opening.
