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.

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.

Selenium is a suite of tools such as Selenium IDE, Selenium Remote Control and Selenium Grid to test the web application. Selenium IDE is an integrated development environment for Selenium scripts. It is implemented as a Firefox extension, and allows you to record, edit, and debug tests. It supports record and playback. 
 Selenium Remote Control (RC) is a test tool that allows you to write automated web application UI tests in any programming language against any HTTP website using any mainstream JavaScript-enabled browser. It is great for testing complex AJAX-based web user interfaces under a Continuous Integration system. Selenium Grid transparently distribute your tests on multiple machines so that you can run your tests in parallel. <img src="/AppImages/Article/selenium-ide.gif" alt="" class="float-center">
