  • 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.
