\u201cIf your page does not load within 5 seconds, 50% of customers abandon your site.\u201d That statement speaks a lot about customers’ increasing need for high-speed access to web applications. With mobile web also causing significant traffic to websites and web applications, checking your web application’s performance is essential.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n With the need to analyze the performance of your web application increasing, it is a good idea to evaluate some of the popular open-source performance testing tools. We will talk about why you should use an Open source performance test tool for your Performance testing needs and give an overview of some of the popular Open source performance test tools.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Why choose Open Source Performance Test tool:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Some of the Popular Open Source Performance Test tools:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Apache J Meter<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Apache <\/span>J Meter<\/span><\/a> is an open-source load testing tool built on the Java Platform. This testing tool is developed to test load test functional behavior and performance testing. It supports testing static and dynamic resources such as Servlets, Java Objects, Perl Scripts, FTP servers, databases, etc. It requires JVM 1.4 or higher to perform. Although initially designed to test web applications, today, its scope has widened to other test areas.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n With a vast user community and an ever-expanding list of Plugins, JMeter is a favorite for many organizations when it comes to Performance, stress, and load testing.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Load UI<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Load UI<\/span><\/a> is a viral open-source stress tool for performance testing web applications.

Testers use this GUI-based testing tool for load analysis and load testing. This complex testing tool is known to perform heavy test loads for scripted HTTP and HTTPS. The tests are conducted using simple scripts and recordings, and various results and statistics are taken into account. During load tests, Open STA graphs resource utilization information from application servers, web servers, operating platforms, and database servers that help in further analysis.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n THE GRINDER \u2013 GENERIC JYTHON LOAD TESTER<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n
