Apache JMeter is an Apache project that can be used as a load testing tool for analyzing and measuring the performance of a variety of services, with a focus on web applications.

JMeter can be used as a unit test tool for JDBC database connections,[1] FTP,[2] LDAP,[3] Webservices,[4] JMS,[5] HTTP,[6] generic TCP connections and OS Native processes. JMeter can also be configured as a monitor,[7] although this is typically considered an ad hoc solution in lieu of advanced monitoring solutions. It can be used for some functional testing as well.[8]

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

JMeter architecture is based on plugins. Most of its "out of the box" features are implemented with plugins. Off-site developers can easily extend JMeter with custom plugins.
