+    <li>OS Tuning</li>
+    <li>Java setup: Ensure you install the last version of Java supported by JMeter</li>
+    <li><b>Correct sizing of Java Heap</b>. By default JMeter runs with a heap of 512MB, this might not be enough for your test and depends on your test plan and number of threads you want to run</li>

 Using Non-GUI mode, you can generate a CSV (or XML) file containing results and have JMeter <a href="generating-dashboard.html">generate an HTML report</a> at end of Load Test.
 JMeter will by default provide a summary of load test while it's running. <br/>
