Why JMeter?
it's a powerful tool with enormous testing capabilities.
ex:
one day, your boss asks you to do performance testing of www.google.com for 100 users. What would you do?
It’s not feasible to arrange 100 people with PC and internet access simultaneously accessing google.com Think of the infrastructure requirement when you test for 10000 users (a small number for a site like google). Hence you need a software tool like JMeter that will simulate real-user behaviors and performance/load test your site.
