Test Java class with JMeter

It is quite easy to test API or Website using JMeter 

but you may come across situation when you have to load test java class directly. 

This post described how a java class can be load tested. 

We will write a java program and use JMeter Java Sampler to load test it -


  • Set up a maven selenium project. If you are new to java and maven then you may like to check my java tutorials

  • Add following dependencies to your maven project (find out latest versions by searching https://search.maven.org/) - 

<dependency>

   <groupId>org.apache.jmeter</groupId>

   <artifactId>ApacheJMeter_core</artifactId>

   <version>3.1</version>

</dependency>

<dependency>

   <groupId>org.apache.jmeter</groupId>

   <artifactId>ApacheJMeter_java</artifactId>

   <version>3.0</version>

</dependency>

 

  • Let's write a java program to add numbers - 

public class AddNumbers {

   public int addTwoNumbers(int a,int b) {

       return a+b;

   }

}


  • And a test program which we would use in JMeter later on.

  • Implement interface JavaSamplerClient or extend AbstractSamplerClient.

  • You can leave other methods empty and would have to implement runTest and getDefaultParameters. The test class would look as -


public class AddNumberTest implements JavaSamplerClient {

   @Override public void setupTest(JavaSamplerContext javaSamplerContext) {

   }

   @Override

   public SampleResult runTest(JavaSamplerContext javaSamplerContext) {

       String var1 = javaSamplerContext.getParameter("var1");

       String var2 = javaSamplerContext.getParameter("var2");

       SampleResult result = new SampleResult();

       result.sampleStart();

       result.setSampleLabel("Test Sample");

       // Test Code

       AddNumbers addNumbers = new AddNumbers();

       if(addNumbers.addTwoNumbers(Integer.valueOf(var1), Integer.valueOf(var2))==2) {

           result.sampleEnd();

           result.setResponseCode("200");

           result.setResponseMessage("OK");

           result.setSuccessful(true);

       } else {

           result.sampleEnd();

           result.setResponseCode("500");

           result.setResponseMessage("NOK");

           result.setSuccessful(false);

       }

       return result;

   }

   @Override public void teardownTest(JavaSamplerContext javaSamplerContext) {

   }

   @Override public Arguments getDefaultParameters() {

       Arguments defaultParameters = new Arguments();

       defaultParameters.addArgument("var1","1");

       defaultParameters.addArgument("var2","2");

       return defaultParameters;

   }

  • getDefaultParameters has the parameters with default values. This values would appear on Java Sampler which we

  • would see later on. runTest method uses the parameters supplied from getDefaultParameters. runTest is quiet simple, it adds given numbers, if sum is equal to 2 then it is a success else failures.

  • Now package your project using mvn package and place the generated jar file in JMeter's following directory -

  • ~/apache-jmeter-3.0/lib/ext/

  • Now open JMeter and add Java sampler and select classname as AddNumberTest -





If you are new to JMeter then you can follow my JMeter training videos

 Lets run the test with default variables and you will see it fails since 1+2 is not equal to 2

 


Let's change default values to 1


Let's run test again and it is green now -

 



Now you can set up your test with required thread, duration and other parameters :)

** When you create new jar then you should restart JMeter. I did not see JMeter picking changes after placing new jar in /lib/ext/ directory and not restarting the JMeter

Selenium Tutorial: Ant Build for Selenium Java project

Ant is a build tool which could be used to have your tests running either from command line or from Hudson CI tool. There is detailed documentation available for ant here but probably you need to know only a little part of it for you selenium tests. The essentials which are needed to know are: Project Target (ant execution point and collection of tasks) Tasks (could be as simple as compilation) And there would usually be following targets for Selenium tools - setClassPath - so that ant knows where you jar files are loadTestNG - so that you could use testng task in ant and use it to execute testng tests from ant init - created the build file clean - delete the build file compile - compiles the selenium tests run - executes the selenium tests Here is my project set up for ant -

Verify email confirmation using Selenium

Note: If you are new to java and selenium then start with selenium java training videos .     Email confirmation seems to be integral part of any registration process. I came across an application which lets you provide your email address. You can follow the sign up link in you mail and then complete the registration process. Lets consider we provide GMail address for it. Now if were to use only Selenium then we would have to follow following steps - Launch GMail using Selenium; Some how search for new mail in the list of available mails; Some how click on it; Parse the mail message; Get the registration link; Follow up with registration process What do you think of an approach in which you can

Real Time JMeter Result Using Backend Listener

Since JMeter 2.13 Backend Listener has been available to create real time graph of JMeter Test. Following tutorial explain the entire process in detail. At the end of this tutorial you would be able to create JMeter Live Test Result dashboard similar to following - This tutorial borrows information from many sources and my own experiments with JMeter live reporting dashboard. I have added source of information wherever applicable But before we can build such a snazzy JMeter Live Reporting dashboard we need to understand two more components - influxDB (a time series database) and Grafana Dashboard This is a big tutorial, so take deep breath :-) and follow on. Once you complete set up specified in this tutorial then you can watch JMeter Training Video Tutorial to watch this in action. What is Time Series Database? A time series is a sequence of data points , typically consisting of successive measurements made over a time interval . Examples of time ...
