I have a query.
Has anyone load tested a web application written in ATG using Jmeter?
If so kindly enlighten me on how to set values for:
Request URL
Request parameters
Thanks
ATG is now an Oracle Product.
As for the answer, as ATG is a very large product, some precisions should be given on which module is concerned.
I on my side have load tested with JMeter ATG ecommerce module, search engines and BCC.
It doesn't differ for what you ask from regular JMeter scripting, the best thing to do is to read Building a Web Test Plan and once you have done this use JMeter Proxy recording

I am a beginner working on jmeter. I am confused between the "Record and replay" method & the basic load test method (giving the url in the path and executing the test). Need help to distinguish between both - if possible with a good tutorial suggestion. Also how to do a "stress test" in the simplest way ?
The main idea behind web applications load testing is: your test must represent real user activities as close as possible.
How you implement it - it's up to you.
If you know exactly which requests you need to mimic - you're more than welcome to develop your test by manually adding HTTP Request samplers.
For those who are not very familiar with HTTP protocol it might be easier to go "record and replay" way. But remember, the chance that you will be able to successfully replay recorded test scenario is minimal, most probably your will have to perform correlation - handling dynamic request parameters.
With regards to tutorials, normally you should start with JMeter User Manual, especially pay attention to the following chapters:
Building a Web Test Plan
Building an Advanced Web Test Plan
You can also consider JMeter Academy - probably the fastest way of ramping up on JMeter
As am working in a testing industry, I need to learn bit more about JMETER load testing tool, Please provide details of JMETER load testing tool, how many users(threads), ramp up period, need to define while doing load testing ?
Refer the documentation link below for your reference:
http://jmeter.apache.org/usermanual/index.html
I am new to Jmeter. I have requirement for run load test for Infinispan distributed mode using hot rod client server on Jmeter.I have Infinispan clusted server available and running using some application. Please someone guide me to write Jmeter script for this.
Thanks in advance.

As far as I understand you shouldn't be testing Infinispan itself, I believe that it's tested by other people and considered reliable. My expectation is that you need to test an application, which is using Infinispan to implement some clustering functionality. If so and your application is web-based you can use JMeter to produce load and insert some assertions into your code to check that your test data is being correctly replicated. The best way to start with web application testing is recording your test script via JMeter HTTP Proxy server.
If I'm getting you wrong and you need to explicitly test Infinispan HotRod endpoint, JMeter doesn't support HotRod protocol out of box. You'll need to get relevant libraries (.jar files) which implement org.infinispan.client.hotrod.impl.protocol with dependencies, drop them to /lib/ext folder of your JMeter installation and after that do one of following:
Develop a custom JMeter Sampler containing protocol implementation details, arguments, entrance and exit criteria, etc.
Create a Java Request similar to option 1
Use BeanShell samplers to represent your test cases.
Hope this helps
If you want to load test Infinispan Hot Rod server, you can use some Grinder scripts I created a while back. We've got some instructions here but they're a bit outdated. Maybe you can help us update them and convert them to talking to Infinispan Server distribution and update to version 6.0? :)
Otherwise, if you want to test Infinispan embedded/library mode, we've RadarGun which is a benchmarking framework for data grids.
Is it possible to record JMeter scripts for performance testing Siebel?
Siebel uses a custom format for ENCODING its requests plus some necessary technical parameters.
So it's possible provided it's the http module but rather hard job as there are a lot of correlations to do on technical IDs.
For recording, see this:
JMeter record Siebel CRM System
You can use this commercial plugin that will do auto-correlation for you:
https://ubikloadpack.com/
Yes, it is possible to test Siebel with JMeter. I have done so for one of my projects with my client TataSky where I have used JMeters distributed testing approach for generating upto 2000 users with 4 - 5 normal desktops. Siebel uses http protocol so it is finally about understanding the requests sent by browser and responses by the web-server and correlating between them. It gets really messy though, so my suggestion is correlate parameters which are mandatory.
You can use JMeter-Siebel-plugin which provides Siebel HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder test element handy for capturing and correlating Siebel traffic.
The plugin can be installed using JMeter Plugins Manager
Check out Introducing the Siebel CRM Correlation Plugin in JMeter article for comprehensive instructions.
I've got a PHP site up and running, and the db is mysql. before launching the site, I would like to test the traffic handling. Now am assuming that there are soe softwares that would simulate the traffic and log the processes running on my site. Any recommendation of software I should use? the traffic doesn't have to be real, but nonetheless, I would like to generate a high traffic to investigate the threshold of the site.
Appreciate the help
You can use Gatling https://github.com/excilys/gatling.
It's a stress tool written in Scala which aims at being more efficient and lighter than Jmeter.
Basically you record a scenario on your website and then run it 'n' times in parallel.
Here is the wiki for more infos https://github.com/excilys/gatling/wiki/Basic-Usage
You can use Jmeter:
It's free.
it's easy to Start with lot of documentation on its Website and on internet
it has a proxy feature to easily create test plan from browser navigation
It is easy to start up processes on other machines. It remote testing, can be done from GUI or console.
The scripts can be written in beanshell, java, or any jsr223 language ( groovy, Javascript, scala, jexl ...)
it has a lot of built- in samplers and thanks to its plugin architecture it's very Easy to add new ones or use any scripting engine to do what's missing
it has great user mailing list
it has very reactive support
it's now a top Level Apache
it can run thousands of users
professional solutions exist to run it from cloud
