Great teacher, great video! Also, glad you fixed all the microphone issues from the old videos of JMeter. Thank you very much!

[@RaghavPal]

Great to hear.

[@techwitheds]

Thanks for taking your time to explain this. I am about to create a new video where I analyze the impact of infrastructure on latency and your video really help me get up to speed into load testing. Now that I watched everything, I can now build on top of it. Thanks again for saving me time of frustration I would be facing if I had to read the documentation.

[@RaghavPal]

Most welcome

[@madirajuchaitanya]

Raghav Sir, thanks a lot for creating an excellent video on JMeter. It is a MUST-WATCH for people who are beginners on JMeter and also for experienced people for brushing up their basics. Thank you.

[@RaghavPal]

So happy to hear this Madiraju.. keep learning

[@DGlobal_Analyst]

Oh just seeing this. So happy for this, you are a great mentor and tutor I must say. Thank for all you have done so far in the testing world. Ever since I started my testing journey, I have never joke with any of your videos. Thanks for putting this together I believe more update are coming from your end

[@D_Newbie]

I agree with you @DGlobal_analyst. I wish there is a channel like this for Devops. I really want to explore that niche Does anyone has an idea for devops?

Hello Raghav Sir, here in performance testing we use threads as users who will be hitting the website and test it in that way, but let there is only one user who has thousands of records for a particular website and when retrieving the data for that particular user, it takes huge load of time, how and what approach we can go with to test the process please? For e.g. A single amazon customer has thousands of orders and want to retrieve them all or a Pluralsight user who has ran through thousands of courses and want to render them all once.

[@RaghavPal]

Ashish To test a scenario where a single user retrieves a large amount of data in JMeter, follow these steps: Set Up a Thread Group: Create a Thread Group with one thread (representing one user). Set an appropriate ramp-up period. Define the Test Scenario: Use HTTP Request samplers to define the requests for fetching data (e.g., orders or courses). Parameterize Requests: Use a CSV Data Set Config if needed to simulate different requests based on the user's data. Add Listeners: Include listeners like "View Results Tree" or "Aggregate Report" to collect and analyze results. Run in Non-GUI Mode: Execute the test in non-GUI mode to handle larger loads efficiently. Monitor Performance: Observe resource usage during the test to identify performance bottlenecks. Analyze Results: Review response times, throughput, and errors to assess system performance under load This approach will help you effectively evaluate how well the application performs when a single user retrieves extensive datasets -

[@sobhanakumar9170]

Thank you Raghav. I am currently running my tests in my machine (Client). How can I montior the server performance from the client machine from Jmeter GUI mode and CLI mode?

[@RaghavPal]

Sobhana To monitor server performance from a client machine using JMeter, you can use the PerfMon plugin. Here’s a simple step-by-step guide for both GUI and CLI modes: 1. Setup PerfMon Server Agent Download the Server Agent: Get the PerfMon Server Agent from the JMeter Plugins website Extract Files: Unzip the downloaded file on the server you want to monitor. Run the Agent: For Windows, run startAgent.bat. For Linux/Mac, run startAgent.sh. Check Connectivity: Ensure the agent is running and listening on the default port (4444). You can test this using telnet or netcat 2. Configure JMeter in GUI Mode Open JMeter: Start JMeter on your client machine. Install PerfMon Metrics Collector: Go to Plugins Manager and install the PerfMon Metrics Collector. Add Listener: Right-click on your Thread Group > Add > Listener > jp@gc - PerfMon Metrics Collector. Configure Metrics: Click Add Row in the listener to specify the server's IP, port (default 4444), and the metrics you want to monitor (e.g., CPU, Memory). Run Your Test: Start your test, and you will see real-time metrics in the listener 3. Configure JMeter in CLI Mode Prepare Your Test Plan: Ensure your JMeter test plan is ready and saved as a .jmx file. Run JMeter in CLI Mode: Use the following command to start the test: jmeter -n -t your_test_plan.jmx -R server_ip Monitor Results: The metrics will be collected and can be viewed in the specified output files or through the listener if configured. 4. Post-Test Analysis View Results: After the test completes, you can analyze the collected metrics in JMeter or export them for further analysis. Check Logs: Review the logs for any issues or performance bottlenecks This setup allows you to effectively monitor server performance during your load tests using JMeter -

[@bcoleone1]

hi mate great lecture, am still not clear on how to organise a suite of tests that cover the different types of testing ie load,stress,spike how do you structure your framework? also when executing are we running in a cloud machine or a local laptop?

[@RaghavPal]

To organize your JMeter test suite for load, stress, and spike testing, follow this structure: Test Plan Structure Separate Test Plans: Create individual test plans for each type (e.g., Load_Testing.jmx, Stress_Testing.jmx, Spike_Testing.jmx). Folder Organization: Load Testing/ - Load_Testing.jmx - Load_Testing_Results.jtl Stress Testing/ - Stress_Testing.jmx - Stress_Testing_Results.jtl Spike Testing/ - Spike_Testing.jmx - Spike_Testing_Results.jtl Execution Options Local Laptop: Pros: Easy setup, no costs. Cons: Limited resources, may not reflect real-world scenarios. Cloud Machine: Pros: Scalable resources, better simulation of real-world conditions. Cons: Additional costs, more setup required. Example Test Plan Snippet # Load Testing Test Plan ## Thread Group - Threads: 100 - Ramp-up: 10 min - Loop count: 1 ## HTTP Request Defaults - Server: example.com - Protocol: http - Method: GET - Path: / ## Listener - Results file: Load_Testing_Results.jtl -

[@RaghavPal]

Nahas Here's a concise comparison of your options: Cypress Pros: Fast execution, real-time reloading, user-friendly, JavaScript-focused Cons: Limited to Chromium-based browsers, only supports JavaScript Playwright Pros: Multi-language support (Java, JavaScript, Python), cross-browser testing, fast execution, modern API Cons: Newer tool, smaller community than Selenium Selenium with C# Pros: Familiar framework, multi-language support. Cons: Smaller job market, more setup required for C# In general I will suggest you can plan to learn all these to increase the chances of jobs -

@RaghavPal 33 age mech engineer. Worked in non it. Can switch in IT. Plss suggest. Is right or not.

[@RaghavPal]

1. Yes, it's possible: Age is not a barrier if you're willing to learn. 2. Start with basics: Learn a high-demand IT skill like software testing, data analytics, or programming (Python, SQL). 3. Pick a path: QA testing, cloud computing, or automation are great for beginners. 4. Certifications: Earn certifications (e.g., ISTQB for QA, AWS for cloud). 5. Show transferable skills: Highlight problem-solving, teamwork, and project management from your non-IT experience. 6. Entry-level roles: Look for internships or junior roles to start. It's a good decision if you're committed! 😊
