We have web performance tests (scripts) developed in Visual Studio 2017 for load testing. Now the requirement has come to replace VSTS and have JMeter for load testing.
I want to avoid developing scripts in JMeter from scratch and for that I'm looking for a way to convert VS web tests to JMeter scripts. Even if it's converting to other extension like .har and then to .jmx (JMeter), that's fine. There are online tools from BlazeMeter and others but our scripts are confidential and that's why I'm looking for a desktop solution.
I read somewhere that fiddler exports to .jmx, but I couldn't find that.
Converting VSTS web tests to JMeter scripts
If you are looking for a simple solution that is free to converte web tests to JMeter scripts, you can record the scripts by using JMeter's HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder:
Check the answer in this thread for some more details.
Besides, Shravan Akula provided a project to convert http/html scripts to jmeter:

If possible, you can check if it works for you.
Hope this helps.

Just want to understand how can we integrated our selenium scripts using cucumber can be integrated in Jmeter?
or any other way we can add any Jmeter plugin to our selenium scripts or some extra configuration is required, so while running automation scripts the Jmeter report is also generated.
Cucumber has many faces so you need to be more specific regarding the programming language you used for your tests.
For example if it is Java and JUnit - you can easily integrate your tests via JUnit Request sampler by compiling your tests into a .jar file and dropping it to "lib/junit" folder of your JMeter installation. Of course you will need to have the necessary Selenium libraries in JMeter Classpath.
If your tests are in Ruby:
Download JRuby jar and drop it to lib folder of your JMeter installation
Install WebDriver Sampler plugin using JMeter Plugins Manager
Open JMeter and add WebDriver Sampler to your Test Plan
Select ruby from language dropdown and transfer your existing Ruby code into "script" area (i.e. copy and paste)
Be aware that real browser based performance tests are very resource consuming so consider converting your Selenium tests into "pure" JMeter tests instead of running them in multithreaded manner.
We can generate JMeter .jmx files from JMeter Java APIs.
Is there any way via which we can convert per-recorded .jmx file into corresponding java code?
This can be useful for comparing changes between jmx files versions.
As of today (October 2018) there is no such tool and I doubt there will be as the JMeter XML is not really a contract and building a tool on it would be very fragile.
XML is not supposed to be used when using XML, the GUI is the way to use JMeter for scripting and the CLI (NON GUI mode) for load testing.
I need to produce a number of component integration tests to fit into an existing framework composed of Jmeter and run via Bamboo.
My problem is that I know nothing of Bamboo.
Working in a Linux environment.
Does anyone have any recommendations for either basic tutorials for Bamboo, or links to existing questions on here which would form a good start point for me?
Any help greatly appreciated.
The main idea of adding a JMeter test under continuous integration system control is having unattended JMeter test executions basing on triggers (on version control system commit, periodically, on-demand, whatever).
There are several ways of running a JMeter test via Bamboo, the easiest would be either running a shell Script or Custom Command Executable.
The results can be viewed and analysed using JMeter Aggregator plugin.
See How to Run JMeter in a Continuous Integration Environment With Bamboo for step-by-step configuration instructions and examples.
Is it possible to use JMeter with a software versioning tool such as Git, so the test cases for a larger project can be done by a team ?
Also are there any other tools that can provide the same functionality that SVN gives but to JMeter test scripts
JMeter JMX tests are basically XML files, as XML is basically a textual format it is version-control-system friendly so it should not be a problem to store them under SVN, Git, Mercurial, whatever.
Also if you work in a team you can additionally consider implementing high-level test architecture based on Test Fragments which can be used in the main Test Plan via Module Controllers. See How to Manage Large JMeter Scripts With JMeter Test Fragments article for mode details on the approach.
VisualSVN is free. You can also create a previate repo in GitHub (not FREE)
If more than 1 person is working on JMeter script, then I would suggest you to check this in creating a modular / reusable modules in JMeter.

You can use any version control tool. Git work very well with it.
I'm interested in using the Lightweight Testing Automation Framework (LTAF) to create integration tests for my web application. However, I need it to be run on the build server. Does anyone know if this can set up to do this?
There does not seem to be a whole lot of information on the web on this right now :-)
There's a blog post (Lightweight Test Automation Framework – Automated Build Support) that describes how to implement the runner as a console application, it can then be integrated into a build server fairly simply by redirecting the build output and setting the return code appropriately.
The author posted the code used in the article, you can download it from here.
I don't have experience with LTAF, but found this nice article:
First steps with Lightweight Test Automation Framework
Quoting the author (Steve Sanderson, from the comments):
Lightweight Test Automation Framework
can be invoked with query string
parameters (to specify which tests to
run) and can emit a log of the results
to a text file, so it would be
possible to integrate it. However,
this is certainly not as easy as using
Selenium RC which as you say works
through a traditional test runner.
