## What is it?
-Apache JMeter is a 100% pure Java application designed to test
-and measure performance. It may be used as a highly portable
-server benchmark as well as multi-client load generator.
+Apache JMeter may be used to test performance both on static and dynamic
resources, Web dynamic applications.
+It can be used to simulate a heavy load on a server, group of servers, network
or object to test its strength or to analyze overall performance under
different load types.
Apache JMeter features include:
-Ability to load and performance test many different server/protocol types:
- - Web - HTTP, HTTPS
- - SOAP / REST
+Ability to load and performance test many different
applications/server/protocol types:
+ - Web - HTTP, HTTPS (Java, NodeJS, PHP, ASP.NET,...)
+ - SOAP / REST Webservices
- FTP
- Database via JDBC
- LDAP
