Apache Jmeter is a JAVA based tool and just like me, many QA professionals use JAVA for programming so it becomes very easy to create load tests in Jmeter and since it is JAVA based it is a platform-independent tool. Also, one of the best things about this tool is that is an open-source tool.

Also, the Apache JAVA community is so huge that all my queries get resolved in very less time once I post them in the community group. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
