JMS Topic Test Plan

Now we will write a JMeter test plan to test a JMS Provider. For this test we have to create one subscriber and one publisher.

Create JMeter Test Plan

• Go to your JMeter bin folder and double click on the ApacheJMeter.jar file to launch JMeter interface.
• Click on the Test Plan node.
• Rename this test plan node as JMS_topic_test.
• Select the JMS_topic_test node and right click on the selected item.
• Mouse hover on “Add” option, then elements list will be displayed.
• Select Threads (Users) > Thread Group.
• Rename this Thread Group element as JMS pub-sub user.
• Change the loop count to two.
• Rest of the default properties are left unaltered.

Adding JMS Subscriber and Publisher

• Select the JMS pub-sub user element (Thread Group) and right click on the selected item.
• Mouse hover on “Add” option, then elements list will be displayed.
• Select Sampler > JMS Publisher.

Set up the following fields in the JMS Publisher sampler element:

• Name – Sample Publisher
• jndi.properties file – unchecked (JMeter uses the “JNDI Initial Context Factory” and “Provider URL” fields to create the connection)
• Initial Context Factory – org.apache.activemq.jndi.Active MQ Initial Context Factory
• Provider URL – tcp://localhost:61616
• Connection Factory – Connection Factory
• Destination – dynamic Topics/My Static Topic1
• Number of samples to aggregate – 2 (Number of samples to aggregate)
• Message source – Textarea
• Message type – Text (The Message to use either for Text or Object message)
• Remaining properties are left unaltered.

Now we will add a Subscriber.

• Select the JMS pub-sub user element (Thread Group) and right click on the selected item.
• Mouse hover on “Add” option, then elements list will be displayed.
• Select Sampler > JMS Subscriber.

Set up the following fields in the JMS Subscriber sampler element:

• Name – Sample Subscriber
• jndi.properties file – unchecked (JMeter uses the “JNDI Initial Context Factory” and “Provider URL” fields to create the connection)
• Initial Context Factory – org.apache.activemq.jndi.Active MQ Initial Context Factory
• Provider URL – tcp://localhost:61616
• Connection Factory – Connection Factory
• Destination – dynamic Topics/My Static Topic1
• Number of samples to aggregate – 2 (Number of samples to aggregate)
• Store response – checked (The sampler should read the response. If not, only the response length is returned.)
• Timeout – 2000
• Remaining properties are left unaltered.


Add Listener

• Select the JMS pub-sub userelement.
• Mouse hover on “Add” option, then elements list will be displayed.
• Select Listener > View Results Tree option.



Save and Execute Test Plan

• Click on File > Save Test Plan as.
• Save the entire test plan as JMS_topic_test.jmx.



• Click on Run > Start to execute the test plan.
