Apache JMeter Compatibility with Uniface

Hi,

I wonder if you could help.

I am considering using Apache JMeter as a performance measuring tool within my business. I am trying to determine whether it is compatible with the Uniface programming language. One of the applications I intend to monitor has a desktop application written in Uniface.

Thanks

John

    JMeter is network-protocol based testing tool, it cannot interact with desktop applications. If you'er looking for free desktop automation tools I would recommend looking into Sikuli or LDTP.

    However if your Unicef application does network communications and you want to simulate traffic between the application and some sort of server, it can be done using JMeter. You can record requests which are being sent by the application via JMeter HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder which can act as HTTP Proxy and replay them by required number of virtual users adding necessary assertions and correlation if needed.

    See Load Testing Mobile Apps. But Made Easy guide for implementation details. You'll just need to substitute mobile device with Unicef application.

    Hope this helps.
