Advice for testing Jmeter

[Angus Ferguson]

I have a document with some non-functional requirements, I never have done this before. I have been asked for create a jmx file
but I am a little bit lost I don't from where start.

I am using jmx.2.1, and Jmeter. I have found an example like this:


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<jmeterTestPlan version="1.2" properties="2.3" jmeter="2.8 r1393162">
<hashTree>
<TestPlan guiclass="TestPlanGui" testclass="TestPlan" testname="Test Plan" enabled="true">
<stringProp name="TestPlan.comments"></stringProp>
<boolProp name="TestPlan.functional_mode">false</boolProp>
<boolProp name="TestPlan.serialize_threadgroups">false</boolProp>
<elementProp name="TestPlan.user_defined_variables" elementType="Arguments" guiclass="ArgumentsPanel" testclass="Arguments" testname="User Defined Variables" enabled="true">
<collectionProp name="Arguments.arguments"/>
</elementProp>
<stringProp name="TestPlan.user_define_classpath"></stringProp>
</TestPlan>
<hashTree>
<Arguments guiclass="ArgumentsPanel" testclass="Arguments" testname="User Defined Variables" enabled="true">
<collectionProp name="Arguments.arguments">
<elementProp name="SOAP_REQUEST_URL" elementType="Argument">
<stringProp name="Argument.name">SOAP_REQUEST_URL</stringProp>
<stringProp name="Argument.value">http://serverX:xxxx/name/bl</stringProp>
<stringProp name="Argument.desc">Desc URL</stringProp>
<stringProp name="Argument.metadata">=</stringProp>
</elementProp>






I need test things like: "Baseline performance tests ","Stress tests ","100 User concurrent user test ".

Could anyone give any advice or clue please?

Thanks
