jmeter-load-testing

Overview

Apache JMeter is the long-running JVM-native load-testing tool. Tests are XML .jmx files authored in JMeter's GUI; CI runs them headless via the jmeter CLI (jmeter-getstarted).

The official guidance is explicit:

"GUI mode should only be used for creating the test script, CLI mode (NON GUI) must be used for load testing." (jmeter-getstarted)

This skill covers the CLI / CI side. Authoring is GUI-driven and out of scope here - see the JMeter user manual for the Thread Group / HTTP Sampler / Assertion authoring flow.
