Reg: Testing a desktop product using JMeter

[Muthu Shanmugam <mu...@aspiresys.com>]

Hi There,

 

I am evaluating JMeter for its ability to test a desktop product. So far I
have heard that JMeter won't be able to test a desktop product. Do we have
any scope for making JMeter to test it? Please find below the product
details,

 

It is a desktop product coded in Java Swing with client and server
architecture.

Framework: Axis for web services (SOAP)

Web server: Apache and Sun Java system

DB: SQL server

Traffic between client and server: HTTP (for now), Web services (SOAP) (In
future)

 

Fyi: Looks like the tool named 'The Grinder' is capable
<http://grinder.sourceforge.net/#Key+features>  of load testing anything
that has a Java API. So, desktop products too may fall under their scope.
