Apache JMeter
Apache JMeter is an open source pure Java desktop 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. It may be used as a highly portable server
benchmark as well as multiclient load generator.
It may be used to test performance both on static and dynamic
resources such as static files, Java Servlets, CGI scripts, Java
objects, databases , FTP servers, and more. JMeter 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.
JMeter can also assist regression testing applications by
letting you create test scripts with assertions to validate that your
application is returning the results you expect. JMeter supports
variable parameterization, assertions (response validation), per thread
cookies, configuration Variables and a variety of reports.
JMeter architecture is based on plugins.

Features include:
- Load and performance test many different server types:
- Mail - SMTP(S), POP3(S) and IMAP(S)
- Native commands or shell scripts
- Complete portability and 100% Java purity
- Full multithreading framework allows concurrent sampling by
many threads and simultaneous sampling of different functions by
separate thread groups
- GUI design allows faster operation and more precise
timings
- Caching and offline analysis/replaying of test results
- Highly Extensible:
- Pluggable Samplers allow unlimited testing capabilities
- Several load statistics may be choosen with pluggable
timers
- Data analysis and visualization plugins allow great
extensibility as well as personalization
- Functions can be used to provide dynamic input to a test
or provide data manipulation
- Scriptable Samplers (BeanShell is fully supported; and
there is a sampler which supports BSF-compatible languages)
