LOAD
Testing
Load Testing is a type of Performance Testing that
determines the performance of a system, software
product, or software application under real-life based
load conditions. Basically, load testing determines the
behavior of the application when multiple users use it at
the same time. It is the response of the system measured
under varying load conditions. The load testing is carried
out for normal and extreme load conditions.

Objectives of Load Testing
• To maximize the operating capacity of a software application.
• To determine whether the latest infrastructure is capable to
run the software application or not.
• To determine the sustainability of application with respect to
extreme user load.
• To find out the total count of users that can access the
application at the same time.
• To determine scalability of the application.
• To allow more users to access the application.

Load Testing Tools JMeter
The Apache JMeterTM is pure Java open source software,
which was first developed by Stefano Mazzocchi of the
Apache Software Foundation, designed to load test
functional behavior and measure performance. You can use
JMeter to analyze and measure the performance of web
application or a variety of services. Performance Testing
means testing a web application against heavy load,
multiple and concurrent user traffic. JMeter originally is
used for testing Web Application or FTP application.

What is Test Plan Test Group
Load Testing Tools
A Test Plan can be viewed as a container for running tests. It Thread Groups is a collection of Threads. Each thread represents one
defines what to test and how to go about it. A complete test user using the application under test. Basically, each Thread simulates
plan consists of one or more elements such as thread one real user request to the server. The controls for a thread group
groups, logic controllers, sample-generating controllers, allow you to Set the number of threads for each group.
listeners, timers, assertions, and configuration elements. A
test plan must have at least one thread group. Samplers
Samplers in JMeter are added as a child of Thread Groups. These are
used to send different types of requests to the server. Once, the
sampler request is processed by the server, its response is returned to
JMeter and the same can be viewed and analyzed in terms of different
performance parameters like response time, Hits per second,
throughput, etc.
Different Types of Samplers
Let’s now see the different types of Sampler provided by JMeter. Some
of the most widely used Sampler in JMeter is-
• HTTP Request – Used to send HTTP/HTTPS requests to server. This
is the most widely used sampler for testing Web-based applications.
• JDBC Request – Used to send SQL queries to a database server.
• SOAP/XML-RPC Request – Used to send SOAP requests to a SOAP
web service.
• Test Action – This is a special type of Sampler, which doesn’t send a
request to the server instead it is used to introduce pauses in a test.
• FTP Request – Used to send file put and get requests to an FTP
server.

•Add a Thread Group:
•TestPlan->Add-> Threads->Thread Group
•Add a HTTP Request:
•Thread Group->Add->Sampler->HTTP Request
•Rename the HTTP Request name
•Fill-up the following properties
•Protocol: http or https
•Server Name or IP: demoqa.com
•Port Number: 80 or 443
•Method: GET
•Path: /BookStore/v1/Books

JMeter Technical Term
Load Testing Tools • Response Time: Client is sending request to server and the
server processed the request and send back again to
client.
• Latency: Latency is the duration that a request is waiting to
be handled.
Mathematical Explanation:
Client request to server = it takes 1 sec
Server Process the Requests= it takes 2 sec
Latency = 1 sec + 2 sec-> = 3 sec is Latency
Response Time= 1 sec + 2 sec + back to Client -> 2 sec = total 5 sec (Round Trip
time)
Latency also called as Network Latency or Network Delay
• Throughput: The amount of request server is processing in
Per Second is called Throughput.
