Best Practices for your Jmeter Tests & Load Testing
What is JMeter Test? JMeter Test is the testing process performed using the Apache Jmeter...
1) Explain what is JMeter?
JMeter is a Java tool, which is used for performance Load Testing.
2) Explain how JMeter works?
JMeter acts like a group of users sending requests to a target server. It collects response from the target server and other statistics which show the performance of the application or server via graphs or tables.
3) Explain where you can use functions and variables?
Variables and functions can be written into any field of any test component
4) Mention what are regular expressions in JMeter?
Based on the pattern, a regular expression is used to search and manipulate text. JMeter is useful in interpreting forms of regular expression or patterns being used throughout a JMeter test plan.
5) Explain what is Samplers and Thread groups?
6) Whether the test plans built using JMeter are OS dependent?
Usually, Test Plan are saved in their XML format, so there is nothing to do with any particular O.S. It can be run on any OS where JMeter can run.
7) Mention what are the types of a processor in JMeter?
The types of a processor in JMeter are
8) Explain what are Pre-processor Elements? List some of the pre-processor elements?
A pre-processor is something that will happen before the sampler executes. To configure the sample request prior to its execution or to update variables that are not extracted from response text pre-processor elements are used.
Some of the pre-processor elements are
9) Mention the execution order of Test Elements?
The test plans elements execution order is
10) What does “contain” and “matches” indicates in the regular expression?
In the regular expression, contains indicates that the regular expression matched at least some part of the target. While matches mean the regular expression matched the whole target. So, ‘alphabet’ is “matched” by ‘al.*t.’
11) Explain what is the configuration elements?
A configuration element works parallel with a Sampler. To set up defaults and variables for later use by samplers configuration elements can be used. At the start of the scope, these elements are processed before any samplers in the same scope.
12) Explain what is a timer in JMeter and what are the types of it?
A JMeter thread by default will send requests continuously without any pause. To get a pause between the request, Timers are used. Some of the Timers used are Constant Timer, Gaussian Random Timer, Synchronizing Timer, Uniform Random Timer and so on.
13) Explain what is Test Fragment?
Test fragment is also a type of element like Thread Group element. The only difference is test fragment is not implemented unless it is referenced by either a Module controller or an Include controller.
14) Explain what is Assertion in JMeter? What are the types of assertion?
Assertion helps to verify that your server under test returns the expected results
Some commonly used Assertion in JMeter are
15) Explain how you can reduce the resource requirement in JMeter?
To reduce the resource requirements in JMeter
16) Explain how you can perform spike testing in JMeter?
By synchronizing, timer JMeter spike Testing can be achieved. Synchronizing timer blocks thread until a specific amount of threads has been blocked and then release them all together thus creating large instantaneous load.
17) Explain how you can capture the script of the authentication window in JMeter?
Normally, you can capture script by recording.
18) List out few JMeter Listeners?
Some of the JMeter Listeners are
19) What is distributed load testing? How can it be achieved?
Distributed load testing is the process through which numerous systems can be used for simulating a load of a large number of users. By using the master-slave configuration, JMeter can do distribute load testing.
20) In JMeter is it necessary to call embedded resources explicitly?
You can eliminate all embedded resources from being explicitly called. Requests have a checkbox at the bottom that says “retrieve embedded resources.” It would grab all CSS, JPG, etc. It is a brilliant way to find resources and broken link in a web App.
21) Explain what is the role of Timer in JMeter?
With the help of a timer, JMeter can delay the time between each request, which a thread makes. It can solve the overload problem of the server.
22) Explain what is Post-processor?
To perform any action after making a request, Post-processor is used. For example, if JMeter sends an HTTP request to the web server, and if you want JMeter to stop sending the request if the web server shows an error, then you will use post-processor to perform this action.
