Performance testing of Dockerized application hosted on Kubernetes
JMeter doesn't know anything about the underlying technologies used at the backend, it just sends requests via Samplers, waits for responses and measures the elapsed time of the request and some other performance metrics. Later on you can generate HTML Reporting Dashboard to visualize the results
So your goal is to:
- Identify the business use cases you need to implement for the performance testing
- Identify network protocols which are being used under the hood of these business use cases
- Create a JMeter Test Plan to precisely mimic the real user (or other application) accessing your system and doing what it supposed to be doing
