JMeter Maven Plugin
This is a Maven 3 plugin that allows you to run JMeter tests as part of the build.
Install the Plugin
This plugin is available from the maven central repository, as long as you have a working install of maven you only need to create a valid pom.xml that references this plugin.
Basic Configuration
- Create a src/test/jmeter directory, and place your JMeter load tests there.
Add the plugin to your pom.xml

This is a Maven 2 plugin that allows you to run JMeter tests as part of the build. I am using this with \[http://jchav.blogspot.com/ JChav\] and \[http://maven.apache.org/continuum/ Continuum\] to automate the running of a suite of JMeter load tests, and publish the results to a web page. Sorry this is not more polished. It could use some TLC to make it more user-friendly to actually plug it into a project. I just thought I'd stick the code out there as quickly as possible and see if anyone is interested in it before I went any further with it. |
To build and use the plugin:
- Create a local Maven repository, if you don't already have one.
Wiki Markup Drop in the attached \[^jmeter-2.2.jar JMeter jar\] and \[^jmeter-2.2.pom POM\]. You do not need to have JMeter separately installed.
- Add the jar files that are referenced in the JMeter POM to your local repository, if they are not on ibiblio.
Wiki Markup Download the attached \[^maven-jmeter-plugin-src.tar.gz Maven JMeter Plugin source tarball\]. Untar it.
- Run "mvn install" to build and install the plugin.
- In your project's pom.xml, add a dependency on this plugin:
No Format <dependency> <groupId>org.apache.jmeter</groupId> <artifactId>maven-jmeter-plugin</artifactId> <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version> <type>plugin</type> </dependency>
- Create a src/test/jmeter directory, and place your JMeter load tests there.
- Create a jmeter.properties file in src/test/jmeter. It's fine to just copy the default properties file from the JMeter install if you want.
- Optionally configure includes and excludes in your pom.xml for which tests to run. If you don't, it will just run **/*.jmx. For example:
No Format <build> <plugins> <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.jmeter</groupId> <artifactId>maven<id>jmeter-jmetercheck-plugin<results</artifactId> id> <configuration> <goals> <includes> <include>myTest1.jmx<<goal>results</include>goal> <include>myTest2jmx</include> </goals> </includes>execution> </configuration>executions> </plugin> </plugins> </pluginManagement> </build> [...] </project> +---+
Executing the Plugin
- Run "mvn org.apache.jmeter:maven-jmeter-plugin:jmeter" to run the tests.
...
- clean verify" to run the tests (Best practice would be to assign the JMeter tests to a specific profile so that they only run when invoking that profile).
