Naga,

I recommend The Art of Application Performance Testing by Ian Molyneaux as a good place to start understanding what performance testing is and how to go about it.  It does not discuss the use of specific tools, but it will help you set expectations with your boss and your customers.  He also gives an excellent grounding in test design.

The book is available from O'Reilly and has ISBN 978-0-596-52066-3.

Hi Naga,

To my knowledge there is only one book regarding JMeter and I did not find
it useful.  Here is one link that may help and when I have time I will
search my bookmarks for additional links.  Honestly your best bet is to
follow the examples on the JMeter home site.

Tutorial:
http://www.testingminded.com/2009/01/tutorial-on-testing-webservices-with.ht
ml

I have some older posts on my blog that might help.

Best of luck!

I am going to apologize in advance because these comments may seem rude.

You really need to put in some effort to study the concepts of performance
testing and not rely on this great forum to teach you.

The great folks of this forum are more than accommodating, but lately there
have been numerous posts on very fundamental test questions that are not
necessarily JMeter centric.

There are numerous resources where you could use web searches to find.
There are many published books.

Please do your homework and ask technical questions regarding JMeter on how
the tool can support your testing efforts.  More importantly the JMeter home
pages provide almost everything you need.

Finally as suggested

 - use Bad Boy or the JMeter proxy recordings.
-  Record some actions for your target website.
-  Execute 5 threads for 2 minutes.
-  Inspect the data.
-  Research the meaning of the data.

Cheers!
