About this course
Apache JMeter is an Apache project that can be used as a load testing tool for analyzing and measuring the performance of a variety of services, with a focus on web applications.
JMeter can be used as a unit-test tool for JDBC database connections,[2] FTP,[3] LDAP,[4] web services,[5] JMS,[6] HTTP,[7] generic TCP connections and OS-native processes.[8] One can also configure JMeter as a monitor,[9] although this is typically used as a basic monitoring solution rather than advanced monitoring. It can be used for some functional testing as well.[10] Additionally JMeter supports integration with Selenium, which allows it to run automation scripts alongside performance or load tests[11]

Helper application
In the context of a web browser, a helper application is a separate program—like IrfanView or Adobe Reader—that extends the functionality of a browser.[13][14] A helper application extends the functionality an application but unlike the typical plug-in that is loaded into the host application's address space, a helper application is a separate application. With a separate address space, the extension cannot crash the host application as is possible if they share an address space.[15]
