Apache JMeter Tutorial: Load Testing, Stress Testing & Soak Testing (ITT440 Assignment)
In this hands-on Apache JMeter tutorial, I demonstrate how to perform Load Testing, Stress Testing, and Soak Testing on the popular demo e-commerce website demoblaze.com.
This is my individual assignment for ITT440 (Performance Testing / Software Testing course), where I built a complete JMeter test plan (.jmx) simulating real user behavior:
Browse homepage
Fetch product list via API
View specific product (Xiaomi 17 Pro)
Add item to cart (POST request)
Test configurations included:
Load Test: 100 concurrent users, ramp-up 100s, duration 10 minutes
Stress Test: 500 concurrent users, ramp-up 300s, duration 10 minutes (to find breaking point)
Soak Test: 80 users sustained over 30 minutes (to check stability over time)
You'll see the full setup: HTTP Request Defaults, Cookie & Header Managers, Thread Groups, Constant Timers, and listeners (Summary Report, Aggregate Report, Graph Results).
Perfect for beginners learning JMeter, performance testing concepts, or students working on similar assignments!
