Es wäre nett, wenn Sie mir ein paar kurze Informationen über JMeter bezüglich:

- Was kann während des Testes monitored werden
- Preisspanne

The JMeter Wiki would be a suitable place...

Hi,
I had the oppertunity to use both Mercury Loadrunner and JMeter, during
different times in my career.LR is a commercial tool while JMeter is a
freeware. JMeter does most of the stuff LR does, but there is slight learning
curve in getting it set up and run. Loadrunner gives a built-in recorder which
can record a script and you can have placeholders for your params that you need
to pass/receive back. JMeter uses an HTTP proxy , which has to be set up for
this. LR has a browser simulation which is closer to the actual thing, but in
JMeter, you need a Tree Listener , which is somewhat like a bare minimum
browser. You can do away with less of tweaking in LR but you need to know
Regular Expressions to extract and reuse variables in JMeter. In fact, the
better you know Regex, better mastery you have over JMeter. LR gives you a
controller module to tun your tests where you can pick and choose your flows.
It is easy to parameterize your scripts and to setup your runtime params in LR
as they have GUI widgets for all this. JMeter gives you the same functionality
but it is more of adding a listener and tweaking it. I guess I read LR manuals
on an 'as needed' basis where I had a manual handy for JMeter. LR gives you an
option of mix and match scripts at the same time - which is a real life
scenario. I am yet to figure out how to do this on JMeter. JMeter integrates
well with ant, which makes it a good developer's tool. I should add that it was
a good learning experience to work on JMeter, as you may have to interact with
the user groups to figure out things. Also, framing of reports is much more
intuitive in LR where as JMeter uses listeners for the same functionality.
These are the things that are on the top of my head. Pls let me know if you are
looking for anything specific.
regards
sreejith

Hi Phillip,
I´m a rather new user with JMeter but I would advise:
Looking at this: http://jakarta.apache.org/jmeter/usermanual/
Then reading this: http://www.slash7.com/pages/vampires
For any remaining questions before doing anything checking this:
http://www.google.de/search?q=jmeter+etwas
Regards,
Andy
PS It´s a few years old, but this link I found yesterday by way of
another JMeter user might be useful for you too:
