The interface test is mainly used to detect the interaction points between the external system and the system as well as between the internal subsystems . The focus of the test is to check the exchange of data , Transfer and control the management process , And the mutual logical dependence between systems . An easy-to-use interface testing tool can help testers achieve twice the result with half the effort . therefore , Today, let's compare the two testing tools Eolink And JMeter Advantages between .

Eolink :

advantage ：

1、 It is better than JMeter More convenient . Eolink Provide Web Services . Open a web page to use , It can realize installation free operation on all platforms .

2、 Verifiable JS Program . Eolink Support JS verification , and JMeter Can't verify JS Program .

3、 Support multiple protocols . Eolink Support is like HTTP( S ) 、 Websocket ( s )、 TCP 、 UDP 、 SOAP 、 HSF And other commonly used protocols .

4、 It can be managed online . Eolink Scripts and test reports can be managed online and shared with collaboration members .

5、 Report focus API . Eolink The test can simulate the existence of the backend , The test report results can feed back the normal test results of the front end under normal conditions .

6、 You can learn API Running results . Eolink You can know the running status of the program directly through the running results and reports .

7、 Multiple use cases can be saved . Eolink You can create multiple use cases , And you can quickly save the current test as a new use case in the test process .

Insufficient ：

1、 No stress testing ability .

2、 The function provides customized parts , A certain learning cost is needed .

JMeter：

advantage ：

1、 Provides BeanShell Programming ability .

2、 The test report is mainly used for performance testing . Its script for function test can also be used for performance test , It can reverse the results of performance .

Insufficient ：

1、 High service conditions . Although there is no need to install , But need to be in JDK Environmental use .

2、 Can't verify JS Program , Unable to validate page , Manual verification is required . By contrast , Eolink Support JS verification , And it can realize automatic verification .

3、 Cannot support multiple protocols . JMeter Support only HTTTP(S) 、 SOAP Network protocol , Not comprehensive enough .

4、 The configuration is troublesome . JMeter You need to continuously test integration through third-party plug-ins , And insufficient support for automatic test environment management , Configuration trouble .

5、 Not suitable for multiplayer performance script development , The output result is not good .

6、 Cannot save multiple use cases . JMeter Script maintenance needs to be saved as a local file , Each script file can only save one test case , Not conducive to script maintenance .

After the above comparison , The two interface testing tools have their own advantages . JMeter Performance testing is more prominent , and Eolink The function of is relatively comprehensive . You can choose different tools according to your use scenarios or needs .

Although with JMeter There are still some deficiencies , but Eolink As a domestic emerging API Testing tools , Not only can API test , And support API management 、 API Automatic testing and other functions . You can try it yourself if you are interested ：www.eolink.com
