We will start the journey of JMeter discovery from here.
This article will talk about JMeter installation-related knowledge …
What is JMeter
JMeter is one of the open-source software in the Apache Software Foundation.
It is originally designed to do the performance testing for the web application based on HTTP/HTTPS protocol.

As its developing, now it has been extended to do more types of testing, such as below:

Path: .;%JAVA_HOME%\bin;%JAVA_HOME%\jre\bin
CLASSPATH: .;%JAVA_HOME%\lib;%JAVA_HOME%\lib\tools.jar;
