NAME

       jmeter - Apache JMeter - Load testing tool

SYNOPSIS

       jmeter [options]

DESCRIPTION

       Apache  JMeter is a Java application designed to load test functional behavior and measure
       performance. It was originally  designed  for  testing  Web  Applications  but  has  since
       expanded to other test functions.

       Apache JMeter may be used to test performance both on static and dynamic resources (files,
       Servlets, Perl scripts, Java Objects, Data Bases and Queries, FTP Servers  and  more).  It
       can  be  used to simulate a heavy load on a server, network or object to test its strength
       or to analyze overall performance under different load types. You can use  it  to  make  a
       graphical  analysis  of  performance  or  to test your server/script/object behavior under
       heavy concurrent load.

EXAMPLES

       Run Apache JMeter in GUI mode:

              jmeter [-p property-file]

       Run Apache JMeter in NON_GUI mode:

              jmeter -n -t test-file [-p property-file] [-l log-file]

       Tell Apache JMeter to use a proxy server:

              jmeter -H [your.proxy.server] -P [your proxy server port]

       Run Apache JMeter in server mode:

              jmeter -s

       or     jmeter-server
