Run Load Test in Half the Time With JMeter
Loadium 100% compatible with JMeter for load testing is a crucial tool that determines whether the web application under test can satisfy high load requirements or not. It also helps to analyze the overall server under heavy load.
This allows you to scale your JMeter tests to any size. Besides JMeter, Loadium works with other open-source platforms and plugins. And you can easily make testing part of your CI/CD environment with Jenkins and other platforms.
Avoiding to load test your web application can be risky. If the product is exposed to an excessive load, the entire system can fall on its knees, offering nothing but a waste of time and resources and potentially unhappy users.
That’s why load testing is one of the crucial parts of performance testing.
What is JMeter | Feature-rich. Simple Workflow. Amazing Reporting.
Apache JMeter is one of the most used performance testing tools for developers. JMeter is a test tool that is used to analyze and measure the performance of applications, different software services and products. What makes JMeter unique is that it’s highly versatile despite being open-source.
JMeter is written in Java, used to test web and FTP applications as long as the system supports a Java Virtual Machine (JVM).
Moreover, Loadium with JMeter offers software testers the opportunity to test their applications for both dynamic and static resources, such as queries, servers, logs, scripts, and files.
Apache JMeter can also simulate a heavy load on a server by creating multiple simultaneous virtual users on a web server. You can have more detail about “How to Do Load Testing Using JMeter” as starting here.
Advantages of JMeter
Open-source. JMeter is an open-source software and can be downloaded free of cost. It is also a pure Java based application. The developer use its source code, can modify and customize it as per their requirement.
User-friendly. It also provides a comprehensive GUI, which helps to create test plans and add test scenarios with few clicks.
Support. It supports non-functional tests such as Stress testing, Distributed testing and Web service testing.
Recording. It allows us to watch and record our actions on browsers and based on that create scripts, which can be rerun with a number of concurrent users.
Loadium Recorder
Loadium Recorder helps Loadium users to write fast and better-automated load tests. You can easily record, browse, upload, edit and run.
100% Compatible with Apache JMeter.
Run tests without test scripting applications.
Edit tests both locally and via Loadium.
Record all HTTP/S requests made by your browser.
Save your tests as both JSON and JMX, that can be used again later.
Comprehensive Documentation. As JMeter has been around for a long time, there is extensive documentation, that is easy to understand and setup from scratch.
Reporting. Start with engaging load testing reports that are not nice to look at, but that also makes the information easier to digest. Then, test and generate detailed graphs and see historic trends. You can learn “How to Analyze Load Test Results in JMeter” by visiting here.

Disadvantages of JMeter
Scripting. Requires someone with a deep knowledge of JMeter elements and functionality. If you need help about JMeter scripting, Loadium provides help. Get in Touch!
Protocol Support. Cannot execute JavaScript. No support for technologies that are used to build dynamic applications, like AJAX, JavaScript, Flash, etc.
Scaling Large Load Tests. Requires extensive manual work to scale out tests with a large number of users. But this is possible with Loadium. When the pandemic started, Loadium runs the e-learning platform of Ministry of Education with 1.5 Million virtual users.
JMeter Features | Effortlessly Manage Load Tests
| FEATURES | JMETER |
