jMeter Setup

Why Remote testing is required?

1. To simulate user load which JMeter client machine is not able to handle due to infrastructure or hardware limitations
2. To generate user load from different geographies to get realistic result parameters - response time

Architecture of Remote testing:

Works on master slave mechanism

Prerequisites:

1. Master and slave machines must have JMeter installed on them(Similar version)
2. Master and slave machines must have Java installed on them(Prefer to use similar version)
3. Master and slave machines must connect to each other(same subnet)

Configurations Remote testing:

Step 1:

• Navigate to JMeter/bin folder
• Open jmeter properties file
• provide the IP address of remote hosts in JMeter properties file

Step 2:

• Navigate to JMeter/bin folder
• Run create-rmi-keystore file and provide answer to the questions
• rmi_keystore.jks file will be created
• paste this file to remote hosts JMeter/bin folder

Step 3:

• Navigate to JMeter/bin folder
• Run jmeter-server file
