JMeter for Desktop Applications?

Dear All:

Can we use JMeter for Desktop Applications? I have to perform test for 50
users on NComputing.
Please help.

If your application uses, directly, a database connection you can use
JMeter to load test it capturing the SQL queries executed on this DB and
simulating them with the JMeter's JDBC Request Sampler. You will need a
JDBC driver compatible with your DB.

If your application uses a WS/* you can capture the requests using, maybe,
SOAP UI and configure a JMeter's SOAP/XML-RPC Request Sampler.

If you really want to test using application's interface then another UI
based testing tool, like Marathon, should be used.

I don't think this jmeter is going to be a lot of use to you.  Maybe for DB load, but there are better alternatives.

For WPF testing, why wouldn't you be using MS tools for your automation?

Dear Greg:

You have to provide more information.
What type of desktop application is it?  Java Swing, .Net, MSF?
*Ans: .NET (WPF)*

Are you expecting to test the client response, the server response, the entire system?
*Ans: Entire System*

Is the server just a database, or is there a HTTP server supporting the application?
*Ans: Just a Database*

I'm new to JMeter as well.  There is a lot of information at
http://jmeter.apache.org

First, JMeter is meant to test the load on systems from multiple
threads, or users.  Since you've got a client application, it will
likely only have one user at a time.

It makes more sense, to me, that you test the database response
independent of the windows application.

JMeter can execute a load against a database ( I THINK.. again, I'm
new to JMeter also) using JDBC connections.   I searched Google for
"jmeter database load testing"  and got a lot of useful information.

Are you expecting to test the client response, the server response, the
entire system?

Is the server just a database, or is there a HTTP server supporting the
application?

No one can answer your question unless you provide more information about
the architecture of the application.

Dear Stoff:

Thanks for your reply. I will keep your suggestions in mind. Here are the
details about my application.

The application is desktop application. It is used for data entry. About
40-50 users will do data entry simultaneously using NComputing.
Please let me know if you need more information about the same.

You will find most of the users of this list in another timezone, so responses cannot be expected immediately.

You will also find that minimal questions get minimal responses.

The more information you provide, and the less work you expect us to do, the better the quality and quantity of replies.

jMeter is not traditionally associated with desktop application testing, but NComputing appears to be a virtualisation platform, so I expect it will depend on what type of application you plan to test.  More details of what you want to test might mean you will have some useful replies by morning.
