we have an application (client/server) which uses a GUI to communicates to the Tuxedo server. it uses TCP, FTP protocols for communication. can we use JMeter or any other open source tool for that?

JMeter does support both FTP and TCP protocol via FTP Request and TCP Sampler elements provided, so the answer is "yes", you can use JMeter.

You can also find How to Send Control Characters Using the JMeter TCP Sampler guide useful as it's rather common problem and frequently asked question.

However I doubt that JMeter can record TCP-based traffic types. You can try pointing your client application to server via JMeter HTTP Proxy server to see what requests it'll catch.

  • Thanks for your quick response, but the tricky point is "request is TCP and the response some times in FTP". can you please elaborate 2 things. 1. How to record TCP traffic 2. iam getting 0 bytes for TCP sampler – Zaheer May 20 '14 at 03:08
  • JMeter currently doesn't record TCP traffic, you'll need to capture it via sniffer tool or consider switching to Grinder tool which has TCP recording proxy. http://grinder.sourceforge.net/g3/tcpproxy.html – Dmitri T May 20 '14 at 07:35
