How to Generate Jmeter Report Dashboard

Apache JMeter is an open source performance tool which is helpful in testing load test for

WebApplications and WebServices,REST API services.In latest JMeter 3.0 version apache

software included Generate Jmeter Report Dashboard using APDEX(Application

Performance Index).

How to Generate JMeter Report Dashboard

What is APDEX?
APDEX is an open standard which is developed by an alliance companies.APDEX which is

useful in measure user satisfaction with the help of response time of applications and

Services(WebServices/REST API).APDEX measures average time with the help of response

time of application under test whether it could be web applications or WebServices.APDEX

measure application response time with three levels,those are

1.Satisfied.

2.Toleration Threshold.

3.Frustration Threshold.
How to Generate JMeter Report Dashboard
Please follow below steps to Generate JMeter report dashboards for a test plan.

1. Download Apache JMeter 3.0 from Apache Software Foundation website.

2. Unzip the file.

3. Open Jmeter GUI using jmeter.bat file from Apache Jmeter3.0/bin folder.

4. Create Test plan for Web Applications or Web-Services.

5. Add Summary Report, Simple Data Writer from Listeners.

 Number of Thread(Users) - 5

 Ramp Up Period - 2

 Loop Count Foreve

 Duration in Scheduler - 300

 StartUp Delay - 0

Record Script in Jmeter

Run test plan untill specified Time.

Note:

Please don't create any CSV file before running your Test Plan ,with the help of

Simple Data Writer Test Result file automatically created in specified location.

Simple Data Writer Configuration:

Before Running your test plan we should configure below fields in Simple Data Writer

window panel, those are

1. timeStamp

2. elapsed

3. label

4. responseCode

5. responseMessage

6. threadName

7. dataType

8. success

9. failureMessage
 10. bytes

11. grpThreads

12. allThreads

13. Latency

14. IdleTime

Just click on Configure button in Simple Data Writer window panel then it will open Simple

Result Save Configuration window then you have to select above checkboxes ,please see

below screenshot.

Once everything is done just click on Done button and save your Test Plan script.

Jmeter Report Generation Configuration

that file it will display all report generation configuration details, simply copy

those jmeter.reportgenerator configuration in User Properties file as below.

Copy SAVE Service configurations also in User Properties file.

Test Results - CSV file:
Before generating the script, run your Test Plan as specified time interval and once all

threads are completed then simple data Writer generates Test Results file as specified

location as below screenshot. Now run Test plan up-to 300 seconds i.e 5 Minutes, results file

will generate from Simple Data Writer, here i am saving test result file in CSV file.

Now open Command Prompt.

Go to ApacheJmeter3.0/bin path as below

Enter below command to generate the reports as per test results csv file.

jmeter -g E:\JMETER_Tutorials\Software-Testing.csv -o E:\

JMETER_Tutorials\HTMLReports
 How to Generate JMeter Report Dashboard

Press Enter, it will display in case any errors present in generated CSV file other wise it will

generate Apache Jmeter Report Dashboard in specified folder.

Go to HTMLReports folder and it will display below folders and index.html file

1. Content

2. sbadmin2-1.0.7

3. index.html

4. README
Now open index.html in chrome browser and it will display Apache Report Dashboard as

below.
