• headers: (Optional) HTTP headers
• body: (Optional) Request body

Example:

Create a JMeter test plan named "API Load Test" to test https://api.example.com/users with 50 threads, 30 second ramp-up, and 120 second duration. Save it to C:/tests/api-test.jmx

7. execute_distributed_test

Run distributed test across multiple servers.

Parameters:

• testPlan: Path to test plan
• resultsFile: Path for results
• remoteHosts: Array of remote server IPs
• startRemoteServers: Auto-start servers
• stopRemoteServers: Auto-stop servers

📊 Example Workflows

Basic Load Test

1. Create a test plan for https://api.example.com/products with 100 users over 60 seconds
2. Execute the test and save results to C:/results/load-test.jtl
3. Analyze the results and show me bottlenecks
4. Generate an HTML report in C:/reports/load-test

Advanced Analysis

Analyze the JMeter results from C:/results/stress-test.jtl and:
- Show me the top 5 slowest endpoints
- Identify all endpoints with error rates above 5%
- Give me recommendations for improving performance
- Show the 95th percentile response times

Distributed Testing

1. Create a test plan for https://api.example.com with 500 threads
2. Execute it as a distributed test across servers 192.168.1.10, 192.168.1.11, and 192.168.1.12
3. Analyze the combined results

🔍 Analysis Capabilities

The analyzer provides deep insights into your test results:

Performance Metrics

• Total requests and success rate
• Response time statistics (avg, median, min, max)
• Percentiles (90th, 95th, 99th)
• Throughput (requests/second)
• Bandwidth usage (sent/received)
• Latency and connection time

Bottleneck Detection

• Slow Endpoints: Identifies endpoints with high response times
• High Error Rates: Flags endpoints with frequent failures
• High Latency: Detects network or processing delays
• Severity Levels: Critical, High, Medium, Low

Error Analysis

• Groups errors by response code and message
• Shows affected endpoints per error type
• Calculates error percentages
• Identifies error patterns

Recommendations

AI-powered suggestions for:
