🚀 JMeter Performance Testing Project

This project uses Apache JMeter to simulate HTTP performance tests against a sample API (https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com). It's designed to demonstrate basic load testing, assertions, and report generation.

---

📦 What's Included

• ✅ Basic HTTP GET request
• ✅ Response Assertion (expects HTTP 200)
• ✅ Constant Timer (500ms delay to simulate user think time)
• ✅ HTML report generation
• ✅ CLI run support for automation
• ✅ GitHub-compatible structure for cross-platform usage

---

🧰 Requirements

• Java 8+ (JDK 17 or later recommended)
• Apache JMeter
• Git (to clone and push changes)

---

🛠 Setup Instructions

1. Clone this Repository

bash git clone https://github.com/bmensh821/jmeter-http-test.git cd jmeter-http-test

2. Open the Test Plan

Open basic_http_test.jmx in the JMeter GUI.

🧪 Run the Test in Headless Mode (CLI) jmeter -n -t basic_http_test.jmx -l results.jtl -e -o html_report

🔍 What These Flags Do

Flag	Purpose
-n	Run in non-GUI (headless) mode
-t	Path to test plan .jmx file
-l	Log file for results .jtl
-e -o	Generate HTML report in html_report/

📊 View the Report html_report/index.html

You'll see:

🟢 Response Times 🧵 Thread Counts 💥 Errors and Failures 📈 Request Throughput 🔁 Summary Stats
