Looking for tool to do performance testing for desktop application.
I was trying to use Jmeter for performance testing but since my application uses UDP protocol so i think i cannot use jmeter record and replay functionality.
How can i record and replay desktop application which uses UDP using JMeter?
You need to add UDP Request plugin
This plugin adds UDP protocol support to JMeter. With this plugin you can load test DNS, NTP, TFTP, Boot servers
JMeter can record and replay only HTTP and HTTPS traffic (both are using TCP protocol as underlying transport) with its HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder therefore you will not be able to record the traffic using JMeter.
So I would recommend capturing raw UDP datagrams using a sniffer tool like Wireshark and building the JMeter test plan by manually adding and populating appropriate UDP Sampler requests. Check out Load Testing UDP - The Ultimate Guide article for detailed information.
