Hi, I use JMeter as part of the deployment to assert performance and functionality. We are failing builds based on a predefined performance thresholds and error rates.
Basically we are parsing the summary report generated by the JMeterPluginsCMD to determine that. I don't get the claims of people here about JMeter is good for load testing but not for single user tests. If you don't trust JMeter with the results of a single user, how can you trust the results of a load test which runs multiple? As you understand how web applications work and how JMeter interact with them and you are aware of the limits, than single user tests are possible, efficient and make sense. More over, I also use JMeter for synthetic monitoring of applications with Beatsoo.org. Feel free to read more on how JMeter can be used in different scenarios: http://blog.beatsoo.org/2013/01/application-performance-management.html Best, Shmuel Krakower. www.Beatsoo.org - re-use your jmeter scripts for application performance monitoring from worldwide locations for free.
