'''Apache JMeter''' is an [[Apache Software Foundation|Apache]] [[project]] that can be used as a [[Software load testing|load testing]] tool for analyzing and measuring the performance of a variety of services, with a focus on [[web application]]s.

JMeter can be used as a unit-test tool for [[JDBC]] database connections,<ref>{{cite web|url= http://jmeter.apache.org/usermanual/build-db-test-plan.html |title= Apache JMeter - User's Manual: Building a Database Test Plan |publisher= jmeter.apache.org |access-date=2013-09-20}}</ref> [[FTP]],<ref>{{cite web|url=http://jmeter.apache.org/usermanual/build-ftp-test-plan.html |title= Apache JMeter - User's Manual: Building an FTP Test Plan |publisher= Jmeter.apache.org |access-date= 2013-09-20}}</ref> [[LDAP]],<ref>{{cite web|url= http://jmeter.apache.org/usermanual/build-ldap-test-plan.html |title= Apache JMeter - User's Manual: Building an LDAP Test Plan |publisher= Jmeter.apache.org |access-date= 2015-04-05}}</ref> [[web service]]s,<ref>{{cite web|url= http://jmeter.apache.org/usermanual/build-ws-test-plan.html |title= Apache JMeter - User's Manual: Building a WebService Test Plan |publisher= Jmeter.apache.org |access-date= 2013-09-20}}</ref> [[Java Message Service|JMS]],<ref>{{cite web|url= http://jmeter.apache.org/usermanual/build-jms-topic-test-plan.html |title= Apache JMeter - User's Manual: Building a JMS (Java Messaging Service) Test Plan |publisher= Jmeter.apache.org |access-date= 2013-09-20}}</ref> [[HTTP]],<ref>{{cite web|url= http://jmeter.apache.org/usermanual/build-web-test-plan.html |title= Apache JMeter - User's Manual: Building a Web Test Plan |publisher= Jmeter.apache.org |access-date= 2013-09-20}}</ref> generic [[Transmission Control Protocol|TCP]] connections and OS-native processes.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://jmeter.apache.org/usermanual/component_reference.html#OS_Process_Sampler|title=Apache JMeter - User's Manual: Component Reference|website=jmeter.apache.org|access-date=2020-01-07}}</ref> One can also configure JMeter as a monitor,<ref>{{cite web|url= http://jmeter.apache.org/usermanual/build-monitor-test-plan.html |title= Apache JMeter - User's Manual: Building a Monitor Test Plan |publisher= Jmeter.apache.org |access-date= 2013-09-20}}</ref> although this is typically used as a basic monitoring solution rather than advanced monitoring.

JMeter supports variable parameterization, assertions (response validation), per-thread cookies, configuration variables and a variety of reports.

JMeter architecture is based on [[plug-in (computing)|plugins]]. Most of its "out of the box" features are implemented with plugins

== JMeter Plugins ==
JMeter Plugins is an independent project for Apache JMeter. Each plugin serves a different purpose while expediting the process of creating and executing JMeter Test Plan. Users can install plugins via the Plugin Manager.
