JMeter is a pure Java desktop application designed to load test functional behavior and measure performance. It may be used to test performance both on static and dynamic resources (files, Servlets, Perl scripts, Java Objects, Data Bases and Queries, FTP Servers and more). It can be used to simulate a heavy load on a server, network or object to test its strength or to analyze overall performance under different load types. 

 It could do performance test for Web application, Web services, Database, LDAP, JMS, Mail. It produces graphical analysis of test report. Test results could be cached offline. Data analysis and visualization plugins allow great extensibility.

SonarQube is the open source platform for continuous inspection of code quality. SonarQube provides the capability to not only show health of an application but also to highlight issues newly introduced. With a Quality Gate in place, you can fix the leak and therefore improve code quality systematically. Code analyzers can detect tricky issues such as null-pointers dereferences, logic errors, resource leaks.

Sonar is an open platform to manage code quality. As such, it covers the 7 axes of code quality: Design, Code duplication, Unit test, Code complexity, Potential bugs, Coding rules, Comments. It has support for multiple languages like .NET, PHP, Java etc. 

 Sonar has more than 600 coding rules, provides standard metrics like Lines of Code, Cyclomatic Complexity, Duplicated code. It provides code coverage results for associated Unit test. It has hosted online metrics for open source projets <A HREF="http://nemo.sonarsource.org/" target="_blank">http://nemo.sonarsource.org/</A>.

PMD is a source code analyzer. It finds common programming flaws like unused variables, empty catch blocks, unnecessary object creation, and so forth. It supports Java, JavaScript, Salesforce.com Apex and Visualforce, PLSQL, Apache Velocity, XML, XSL.
 
Additionally it includes CPD, the copy-paste-detector. CPD finds duplicated code in Java, C, C++, C#, Groovy, PHP, Ruby, Fortran, JavaScript, PLSQL, Apache Velocity, Scala, Objective C, Matlab, Python, Go, Swift and Salesforce.com Apex and Visualforce.

The Panopticode project provides a set of open source tools for gathering, correlating, and displaying code metrics. It evaluates software quality and ensures coding standards. It installs and configures set of tools like Emma or Cobertura for unit test code coverage, Checkstyle to validate the coding standards, JDepend to check the dependency, JavaNCSS for Cyclomatic Complexity metrics. Each tool represents its data in a proprietary format. Panopticode correlates data from different tools. It generates a report with metrics, historic data with poerful visualizations.

The Grinder is a Java load testing framework that makes it easy to run a distributed test using many load injector machines. Load test anything that has a Java API. This includes common cases such as HTTP web servers, SOAP and REST web services, and application servers (CORBA, RMI, JMS, EJBs), as well as custom protocols. 

 A graphical console allows multiple load injectors to be monitored and controlled, and provides centralised script editing and distribution. Automatic management of client connections and cookies. SSL. Proxy aware. Connection throttling. 

 The Grinder can simulate web browsers and other devices that use HTTP, and HTTPS. It can be used to test Web Service, Database, RPC, POP3, SMTP, FTP, and LDAP.

Checkstyle is a tool to help programmers write Java code that adheres to a coding standard. Checkstyle is highly configurable and can be made to support almost any coding standard. Checkstyle provides checks that find class design problems, duplicate code, or bug patterns like double checked locking. This tool could be integrated as Ant task. Plugins are available for Eclipse, Netbeans, QALab, Emacs etc.

Cobertura is a Java tool that calculates the percentage of code accessed by tests. It can be used to identify which parts of your Java program are lacking test coverage. it instruments Java bytecode after it has been compiled. Reports are generated in HTML and XML. It shows cyclomatic code complexity of each class, and the average cyclomatic code complexity for each package and for the overall product. This tool can be executed from Ant or from command line. Appfuse and other popular projects are using this tool. This tool is based on jcoverage.

EMMA is an open-source toolkit for measuring and reporting Java code coverage. EMMA can instrument classes for coverage either offline (before they are loaded) or on the fly (using an instrumenting application classloader). The coverage stats are aggregated at method, class, package, and "all classes" levels. EMMA can instrument individial class files or entire jars. It outputs the report in the form of plain text, HTML, XML.

JavaNCSS is a simple command line utility which measures two standard source code metrics for the Java programming language. The Cyclomatic Complexity metrics are collected globally, for each class or for each function. It is also integrated with Ant task. NCSS means Non Commenting Source Statements, Source code except comments will be used for metrics calculation.
