In this chapter, we have learned some helpful tips that are essential to making testing with JMeter more efficient. We have covered variables, functions, regular expression testers, and timers, to name a few. Along the way, we covered some additional helpful components provided by the excellent JMeter plugin extensions. We barely scratched the surface of the additional components it provides. We looked at JSON Path Extractor and Dummy Sampler to name a few. For a full list of all components, we will encourage you to read up on their website at https://code.google.com/p/jmeter-plugins/. Finally, we looked at how JMeter can help us work with the database and REST web services.
We hope by now you know enough about JMeter to become proficient and attain your testing goals. In just a short time, you have grown from novice to pro. Though we couldn't cover all JMeter has to offer, we hope we have covered enough to make you see it as a valuable tool of choice when embarking on your next performance...
