JUnit VS Apache JMeter

Because I only wanna use the cmd java test, so I chose Junit4 which supports Plain-old JAR. I did test according to the Getting started document. But when I ran the javac -cp .:junit-4.XX.jar:hamcrest-core-1.3.jar CalculatorTest.java I got the error message CalculatorTest.java:4: error: package main does not exits. I tried to reorganize the folder and set Path according to others' experience 1, 2, but it still did not work.

Oops, another error. This is why we should read the manual 😅.

JUnit4

Delete those imports and remove the junit-jupiter-api dependency. Follow the instructions for JUnit 4.

Quite a lot of Java dependencies bring Junit 4 or Junit vintage engine as a transitive dependency.

The AHTest039.json file is the actual test. My testRunner() method (no relation to JUnit test runners) reads that JSON file, processes it, and asserts that the test passed. So my test class consists of a few Java methods, and what is essentially a list of JSON files to process.

Usually, I would let organic users be my load test. However, I am working on a project that has an anticipated load on a new-to-my-team stack, so I'm looking into ways to load test.

I've seen tools like k6 (https://k6.io/), Artillery (https://www.artillery.io), and JMeter (https://jmeter.apache.org/).

I've been using Artillery, but it's hard to visualize the results.

What do you use?

Apache JMeter: This tool is an open-source application built on Java, designed specifically to test load functionality and performance. Developed by the Apache Software Foundation, JMeter is versatile, able to simulate loads across a wide range of services and protocols such as HTTP, HTTPS, JDBC, LDAP, and SOAP. With an extensible core that can be tailored with plugins, it provides the flexibility needed for different testing scenarios. Its intuitive GUI makes it easy for testers to design test plans and visualize the results in various ways.

I'll use Apache JMeter to do this experiment:

Thanks for the tip. Hows that compare to this tool? https://jmeter.apache.org/

Apache JMeter: Download and install JMeter from the official website (https://jmeter.apache.org/). Java Development Kit (JDK): JMeter requires Java, so ensure you have the latest JDK installed on your system. Postman: Install Postman from the official website (https://www.postman.com/downloads/).

The test scenario consists of querying for descriptions of different offers. During the test, I will collect data on memory and GC parameters using jConsole. I will run the test scenario using jMeter, which additionally will allow me to measure response times.

FYI some of our people internally use Jmeter. https://jmeter.apache.org/

It's not flashy so it probably wont get the standard "we are going to milk you for data" plan

Issue #5682Pull request #717 - Open Model Thread Group: avoid skipping rows from CSV Data Set Config

Performance and load testing are essential parts of GraphQL API testing. It ensures APIs can handle expected traffic volumes and respond within acceptable timeframes. You can use tools like Apache JMeter or Gatling to generate realistic loads and evaluate the API's performance under different scenarios. Techniques like batched queries and caching can help mitigate this issue.
