1.0 Overview
When using JMeter you will usually follow this process:
1.0.1 Test plan building
To do that, you will run JMeter in GUI Mode.
Then you can either choose to record the application from a browser, or native application.
You can use for that the menu File → Templates... → Recording
Note you can also manually build your plan. Ensure you read this documentation to understand major concepts.
You will also debug it using one of these options:
- Run → Start no pauses
- Run → Start
- Validate on Thread Group
and View Results Tree renderers or Testers (CSS/JQUERY, JSON, Regexp, XPath).
Ensure you follow best-practices when building your Test Plan.
