Apache JMeter

JMeter is a free and open source testing tool. It is a completely Java-based application for load and performance testing. JMeter is a tool for analysing and measuring the performance and load functional behaviour of web applications and other services.

JMeter is a graphical Java desktop application that uses the Swing graphical API. As a result, it can run on any environment or workstation that accepts a Java virtual machine, such as Windows, Linux, or Mac.

JMeter was one of the first tools introduced to the performance testing market compared to other performance and load testing tools and solutions that you see in the market today, which is why it is still well-liked and used today.
