Hi Sreejith,
Could you make available your manual to the JMeter community?
The JMeter Wiki would be a suitable place...
Also, are there any difference in performance results between JMeter and
Loadrunner i.e. Do they provide results that are consistent with each
other?

Subject: Re: need information about JMeter
Hi,
I had the oppertunity to use both Mercury Loadrunner and JMeter, during
different times in my career.LR is a commercial tool while JMeter is a
freeware. JMeter does most of the stuff LR does, but there is slight
learning
curve in getting it set up and run. Loadrunner gives a built-in recorder
which
can record a script and you can have placeholders for your params that
you need
to pass/receive back. JMeter uses an HTTP proxy , which has to be set up
for
this. LR has a browser simulation which is closer to the actual thing,
but in
JMeter, you need a Tree Listener , which is somewhat like a bare minimum
browser. You can do away with less of tweaking in LR but you need to
know
Regular Expressions to extract and reuse variables in JMeter. In fact,
the
better you know Regex, better mastery you have over JMeter. LR gives you
a
controller module to tun your tests where you can pick and choose your
flows.
It is easy to parameterize your scripts and to setup your runtime params
in LR
as they have GUI widgets for all this. JMeter gives you the same
functionality
but it is more of adding a listener and tweaking it. I guess I read LR
manuals
on an 'as needed' basis where I had a manual handy for JMeter. LR gives
you an
option of mix and match scripts at the same time - which is a real life
scenario. I am yet to figure out how to do this on JMeter. JMeter
integrates
well with ant, which makes it a good developer's tool. I should add that
it was
a good learning experience to work on JMeter, as you may have to
interact with
the user groups to figure out things. Also, framing of reports is much
more
intuitive in LR where as JMeter uses listeners for the same
functionality.
These are the things that are on the top of my head. Pls let me know if
you are
looking for anything specific.
regards
sreejith
