JMeter was used as an Apache project that can be used as a load testing tool for analyzing and measuring the performance of Bahmni (https://jmeter.apache.org/)
Blazemeter as a load testing platform as a service, which is compatible with open-source Apache JMeter (https://www.blazemeter.com/)
The performance environment was running on a on-prem Virtual Machine
CPU: 8 CPU(s)
RAM 16GB
Hard Disk 1: 100GB
Hard Disk 2: 100GB
The performance environment was running on a Virtual Machine
For performing the tests, as previously mentioned a VM was used. Therefore, BlazeMeter as well is installed in Chrome there. After recording the script itself we need to export it as a JMX file because JMeter consumes such file as a basis for then conducting the test.
Thus, please follow the below-listed steps:
Open a Gmail account to log in to Chrome
Install BlazeMeter as a Google Extension: https://support.google.com/chrome_webstore/answer/2664769?hl=en
Log in BlazeMeter (because can't export a recording as a JMX without being logged in) with the Chrome account.
Record a scenario in Bahmni with BlazeMeter (e.g. Logging in and starting a new visit). After finishing the recording we can export the file as JMX *Example on how to record a script: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GSIiaH334Lo
Before installing JMeter we have to install Java SDK since Java was not installed. How to install Java: https://youtu.be/MxjjRmm0k-I After Java is installed, we are set to install JMeter. How to install JMeter: https://youtu.be/rV3H-ZFHz2g
note: make sure to convert it to .jmx if you want to test it out with JMeter
Important testing variables:
The scenario has a "Think Time" attached to it, as recommended here. Constant delay is set to 200ms, and Random Delay Max. is set to 500ms.
The scenario has a 0ms ramp-up time, meaning all of the threads will try to become active instantaneously. This is not representative of a real-life scenario but rather of an absolute worst-case one

The latter one is probably due to a previous timed-out request
