Comparison

Highlights
 JMeter - Does not have great support for CI/CD systems like Jenkins, Bamboo, Azure DevOps.
 Gatling- Gatling was built with modern CI/CD systems support.
 JMeter allows live test run monitoring. The same is not available for Gatling.
 Gatling- Gatling tests are code, and keeping track of code is easy with tools like Git, SVN, and
Helix Core.
 JMeter- doesn’t fit well with source control systems like Git/SVN.
 JMeter, it is harder to create reusable testing components. (Will get stuck in copy/paste
situations if the same logic in multiple places.)
 Gatling- Component reuse is easier in the case of Gatling because it is entirely coded. Can use
programming principles such as Object-Oriented Programming in test code to make it easily
maintainable and robust.
