  • Comparative Study of Performance Testing Tools: Apache Jmeter and HP Loadrunner
    Thesis no: MSSE-2016-16 Comparative Study of Performance Testing Tools: Apache JMeter and HP LoadRunner Rizwan Bahrawar Khan Faculty of Computing Blekinge Institute of Technology SE-371 79 Karlskrona Sweden This thesis is submitted to the Faculty of Computing at Blekinge Institute of Technology in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Software Engineering. The thesis is equivalent to 20 weeks of full time studies. Contact Information: Author: Rizwan Bahrawar Khan [email protected] University advisor: Dr. Mikeal Svahnberg School of Computing Faculty of Computing Internet : www.bth.se Blekinge Institute of Technology Phone : +46 455 38 50 00 SE-371 79 Karlskrona, Sweden Fax : +46 455 38 50 57 i i ABSTRACT Software Testing plays a key role in Software Development. There are two approaches to software testing i.e. Manual Testing and Automated Testing which are used to detect the faults. There are numbers of automated software testing tools with different purposes but it is always a problem to select a software testing tool according to the needs. In this research, the author compares two software testing tools i.e. Apache JMeter and HP LoadRunner to determine their usability and efficiency. To compare the tools, different parameters were selected which guide the tool evaluation process. To complete the objective of the research, a scenario-based survey is conducted and two different web applications were tested. From this research, it is found that Apache JMeter got an edge over HP Loadrunner in different aspects which include installation, interface and learning. Keywords: Software Testing, Automated Software Testing, Performance Testing, Web Applications ACKNOWLEDGMENT I am specially thankful to Almighty Allah who helped me to complete this thesis.

  • Performance Evaluation of Jmeter, Loadcomplete and WAPT
    International Journal of Scientific & Engineering Research, Volume 7, Issue 12, December-2016 327 ISSN 2229-5518 Performance Evaluation of JMeter, LoadComplete and WAPT Reenu Bhatia Research Scholar Department of Computer Science Himachal Pradesh University Shimla - 171005 Email : [email protected] Anita Ganpati Associate Professor Department of Computer Science Himachal Pradesh University Shimla - 171005 Email : [email protected] -------------------------------------------------------------ABSTRACT------------------------------------------------------- Load testing is used to monitor the changes in system performance with increase in load to the system. Load testing is a non functional testing which is used to understand the system behavior under a specific expected load. At present there is a huge shift towards web applications and large numbers of tools are available in the market for web application performance analysis. In this paper three load testing tools namely Apache JMeter, LoadComplete and WAPT are compared. The main focus of the study is to discuss these load testing tools and compare them on the basis of key parameter called response time. The response time of these tools is compared by varying number of concurrent users. The primary objective is to study these load testing tools and identify which one of them is better and more efficient .In this study it is concluded that in term of response time WAPT has better performance than that of Apache JMeter and LoadComplete. Keywords – Apache JMeter, LoadComplete, Load Testing Tools, Performance Testing, Response Time, WAPT. IJSER 1. Introduction Testing, Spike Testing, Endurance Testing, Volume Testing and Scalability Testing. Software testing is an important phase of software development life cycle. Any software Load testing is used to determine the changes in under development go through various types of system performance with increase in load to the testing to identify and quantify its quality.
