Load Testing - Jmeter Vs Siege(转载)

- Jmeter comes with a GUI to create/run load tests, while Siege is command line tool

- Jmeter has tons for features that can be used while testing an entire website - with muliple pages, while Siege has limited options to be used

- Siege is fast to setup and run while Jmeter takes time to setup as it involves multiple steps 

- Jmeter is faster to run for n concurrent users than Seige

- Jmeter has broad set of options for results analysis while Siege has one summary of results

- Seige is good for a quick load testing of a webpage while Jmeter is good for a wide variety of tests to be run at a single time

- Jmeter has several plugins to enhance its load testing features and analysis while Siege lacks in plugins

- Sometimes, Siege can give false results thinking better performance while Jmeter is quite accurate in its results

Hence, I prefer Jmeter in most of the load testing requirements, while I use Siege for a quick load test.
