Apache JMeter is a Java application designed to test server applications.
It can be used to:
    * generate test loads
    * test functional behavior
    * measure performance.
It includes support for protocols such as HTTP(S), JDBC, JMS, FTP, and 
others.
It can also be extended with user-written code.
