JMeter Load Testing Features

Apache JMeter is a powerful tool for both performance and functional testing of static and dynamic resources, including files, Servlets, Perl scripts, Java objects, databases, queries, FTP servers, and more.

It can simulate heavy user loads on servers, networks, or applications to assess their stability, scalability, and overall performance under varying conditions. JMeter is also effective for functional testing of websites, databases, LDAP services, web services, and other applications, ensuring they operate correctly across different scenarios.
