Steps to follow:
This is all about the introduction of Jmeter. If you have any doubt please let me know in comments section and I will definitely try to help you :)
In my next post, we will discuss about how to set up a web test plan and details of each test element.

HOW JMETER WORKS:
Jmeter has a feature to generate number of virtual users who sends requests to target server concurrently. During the test, Jmeter simulates multiples users to send multiple requests to server.

It displays the statistics in graphical and tabular forms using the output features it has
