Run Jmeter
To start the GUI application, run jmeter from the terminal.
jmeter
or open /usr/local/bin/jmeter
Don't use GUI mode for load testing !, only for Test creation and Test debugging.
For load testing, use CLI Mode :
jmeter -n -t [jmx file] -l [results file] -e -o [Path to web report folder]
e.g.
jmeter -n -t 'x/jmeter/Voluntarily API.jmx' -l x/jmeter/results -e -o x/jmeter/webout
