I'm new to Jenkins (Hudson Build).

I don't have any Idea how to integrate the Jmeter script with Jenkins installed over Ubuntu .

I researched a lot, but I could find only the GUI based steps for Jenkins.

Can any one please help me with Command line steps to integrate Jmeter with Jenkins? I need to integrate the Jmeter as a sepearte task .

I'm using EC2 instance through Putty and Winscp .

JMeter has at least 3 options on how non-GUI execution, all of them are supported by Jenkins:

  1. JMeter Ant Task
  2. JMeter Maven Plugin
  3. Command line non-GUI launch option

Feel free to choose the one, you're most comfortable with.

The last one is bundled and doesn't require any 3rd party software or extra configuration.

Just execute JMeter as follows:

./jmeter.sh -n -t ${path to your .jmx script} -l ${path to your results file}

Just in case - full command line options:

    -h, --help
            print usage information and exit
    -v, --version
            print the version information and exit
    -p, --propfile <argument>
            the jmeter property file to use
    -q, --addprop <argument>
            additional JMeter property file(s)
    -t, --testfile <argument>

    -D, --systemproperty <argument>=<value>

Depended on what you want to test. If you want to have a stress test, there is a jenkins plugin for JMeter If you make functional test, just run JMeter script in CLI mode.

  • The plug-in now known as 'Performance plugin'. The only purpose of this plugin is to generate performance stats from jmeter reports. – rogue lad Feb 27 '14 at 07:32
  • Due to the new ability of this plugin of handling junit reports as well as jmeter ones, JMeter-plugin has been renamed to Performance plugin. – Kayvan Tehrani Sep 01 '15 at 14:30
