How JProfiler is used for performance testing?
Performance Test You can download JProfiler as a standalone tool to run or download a plugin with IntelliJ which is what I have done in my case. Once you start IntelliJ for your web application either locally or remotely, you will see an icon on top right to start the JProfiler.
How do you use JProfiler?
To start JProfiler, execute bin/ jprofiler in the extracted directory. On Linux/Unix, the file jprofiler. desktop can be used to integrate the JProfiler executable into your window manager. For example, on Ubuntu you can drag the desktop file into the launcher side bar in order to create a permanent launcher item.
How does JProfiler detect memory leaks?
In JProfiler, click Heap Walker and take a snapshot. You see which objects are in the memory. Sort the objects by total size or instance count. If you have run the leaking code regions long enough before, the upper entry is probably your problem.
What is JProfiler tool?
JProfiler is a Java profiler tool and is useful for developers/testers as it can be used to analyze performance bottlenecks, memory leaks, CPU loads, and to resolve threading issues. JProfiler works both as a stand-alone application and as a plug-in for the Eclipse software development environment.
What is meant by profiling in performance testing?
Profiling is what you do when your performance testing shows a problem. It helps you identify those parts of your system that contribute the most to the performance problem and shows you where to concentrate your efforts.

- Extract the JProfiler archive (not the installer) somewhere on the remote machine.

The heap walker consists of several views that show different aspects of a selected set of objects. Right after you take the heap snapshot, you are looking at all objects on the heap. Each view has navigation actions for turning some selected objects into the current object set.
What is the use of JProfiler?
Do you need JProfiler for remote profiling?
The most demanding setup for profiling is remote profiling – the JProfiler GUI runs on your local machine and the profiled JVM on another machine. For a setup where you pass the -agentpath VM parameter to the profiled JVM, you have to install JProfiler on the remote machine and set up a remote session on your local machine.
Do you have to use JProfiler for performance testing?
If you are a developer, some point of time you will have to use JProfiler for measuring the performance of your application. Many times, this is left to specialized performance teams or developers who know the tools well, but don’t know much about the code that they are trying to measure the performance.

Why is profiling blocked at startup in JProfiler?
Blocking at startup is the default, because the profiling agent does not receive its profiling settings as command line parameters but from the JProfiler GUI or alternatively from a config file. The command line parameters are only for bootstrapping the profiling agent, telling it how to get started and for passing debug flags.
