A Guide to Monitoring JMeter for Effective Performance Testing
Performance testing helps in in ensuring that applications can handle expected user loads without issues to make a real time simulation. Apache JMeter is one of the most popular and open source tool which is widely used to simulate user activity and measure system behavior under stress. However, running test cases alone is not enough […]
directory listing vulnerability: A Small Setting with Big Consequences
When we talk about web security, most people think about SQL Injection, XSS, or authentication bypass. But sometimes, the real danger is something very simple — directory listing vulnerability. It doesn’t need complex payloads.It doesn’t need advanced tools.Sometimes, you just type a URL… and the server shows you everything. What is Directory Listing? Directory Listing (also […]
My Experience Implementing AI in JMeter Using the Feather-Wand Plugin
When I first heard about adding AI capabilities into JMeter, I was a bit skeptical. JMeter has always been a solid tool for performance testing, but it felt very manual — scripting, correlation, parameterization… everything needed effort. So when I came across the Feather-Wand plugin, I was curious. Could AI actually simplify some of the […]
Types of Testing Explained with Examples
Manual vs Automation Fig. 1 — Manual Testing relies on human judgment. Automation relies on scripts. You need both. My first week in testing, a senior QA engineer dropped a printed sheet on my desk. Twenty-something terms, zero context. “Learn these,” he said, and walked off. So I did what any beginner would do — […]
A Step-by-Step Guide to Conducting Effective Performance Tests
Performance testing is a critical aspect of software development that determines how well a system can handle certain workloads, traffic, and user behavior. However, conducting effective performance tests is not always easy – without proper planning and execution, these tests can be inaccurate or fail to identify potential issues before they cause problems. In this […]
