Okay!! Lets roll out

What is Jmeter?

Performance testing application

Built using Java

Recording

CLI

Multiple plugins

Setting Up Jmeter

Make sure java is installed in your system

Download jmeter: https://jmeter.apache.org/download_jmeter.cgi

As I was using linux https://linuxhint.com/install_apache_jmeter_ubuntu/ this helped me but the article was kinda outdated

Okay Now lets move on to how to create Jmeter test. I'll write whatever I found easy for me :)

1. Start Jmeter
2. Create a test plan
3. Create a thread group (Users) : This means you need to add number of virtual users for the load test or performance test. They'll execute the same scenario. Here's the link which I think was the good one https://www.redline13.com/blog/2018/05/guide-jmeter-thread-groups/
4. Add a sampler (HTTP): There are numbers of samplers available. By right clicking the thread groups you can add the samplers.https://www.toolsqa.com/jmeter/samplers/. I'm using Zero Web App security that I used while learning cypress http://zero.webappsecurity.com/
5. Add Listeners: To view the result/report we use listeners
6. Run the test
