You have just planned to use JMeter for your load testing, well you made the right decision. You are now wondering how to install it in quick and painless way. Chill, I have a straightforward guide for you where the installation is going to be quick and JMeter will work beautifully.
JMeter is free and open source tool from Apache. You can record certain amount of actions in your application and then rerun them and test performance. Testing can be done on both static and dynamic resources. It is completely up to you what type of load you want to simulate on your server.
ruby -e “$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)” < /dev/null 2> /dev/null
brew install jmeter –with-plugins
jmeter
Voila, JMeter is up and running! Now, there is one step more which will allow you to record tests.
For the next step I will use the Firefox browser, but you can use any other if it suits your needs better.
There are two things you should configure:
Open Menu (Top-right hamburger button) -> Preferences -> Advanced -> Network -> Settings
