I'm thinking on using Jmeter for django applications. I basically wanted to carry out the following tests on my django application.

1) Performance testing 2) Load testing 3) Capacity testing 4) Stress testing

Will I be able to carry out all the testing methods in jmeter for my django app? I'm new here and yet to acquire basic knowledge on jmeter application.

you can use JMeter for your requirements. Start learning the product here jmeter.apache.org. It has decent documentation. If you come across any specific issues, you can post the question. FYI, SO is not the place to teach whole subject by Q & A – Naveen Kumar R B
I din't expect whole subject. But just wanted to have a clarity on whether django apps can be tested in jmeter application. – NAVEEN PRASATH VELLINGIRI
From my knowledge, JMeter can be used to test any web application irrespective of the programming language/framework that is used to built (you deal with HTTP packets). So, I strongly assume even the web application built using django also supported. please refer What can I do with it? section here jmeter.apache.org – Naveen Kumar R B
Will refer. Thanks – NAVEEN PRASATH VELLINGIRI

First of all, performance testing is a testing practice, load, capacity and stress testing are lesser subsets of performance testing.

When in comes to JMeter testing of web - JMeter acts on HTTP protocol level so it doesn't know anything about underlying technology of the web application so from JMeter point of view there is no difference what is under the hood: plain HTML, ASP.NET, Java, Django, PHP, whatever so tread Django web application as "normal" web application and refer the following material:

The only point you can face is that Django web applications normally implement CSRF protection via so called csrf_token so most likely you won't be able to record and replay your test scenario without modification (known as "correlation". See How to Load Test CSRF-Protected Web Sites guide for details on how it can be bypassed
