We have a web application from where we launch a jnlp application. This jnlp application is developed in Java and is used for image viewing. This application interacts with server.

We need to do a performance testing of this application. I tried with JMeter, it records properly the actions of web application but unable to record anything for jnlp application.

Has someone done the performance testing of jnlp application using Jmeter ? If Jmeter does not support it, is there any other tool which I can use to do the performance testing on it.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.

  • Do you have the sourcecode or know how to use the code on jar level ? Then you can use jmeter to call the code in a load test, but you have to code it: as far as I know you can't record those calls. This may have some alternatives for you: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/25801068/performance-testing-of-thick-client – Marged Nov 04 '15 at 23:44
  • I already checked those tools and none of them is able to record the jnlp application. – Naseem Nov 04 '15 at 23:50
  • But they should be able to "automate" your application for you. A quick search for webstart performance test record returned this: https://community.microfocus.com/borland/test/silk_performer_-_application_performance_testing/f/30/t/10423.aspx – Marged Nov 04 '15 at 23:52

See this answer on how to record with JMeter:

Then you will need a plugin that transforms your Requests/Responses (binary) to a readable (XML) format so that you can variabilize, asserts ... ie , make the test realistic:

You'll need this JMeter plugin:
