This study was conducted on the importance of performance testing of web applications and analyzing the bottleneck applications. This paper highlights performance testing based on load tests. Everyone wants the application to be very fast, at the same time, reliability of the application also plays an important role, such that user’s satisfaction is the push for performance testing of a given application. Performance testing determines a few aspects of system performance under the pre-defined workload. In this study JMeter performance testing tool was used to implement and execute the test cases. The first load test was calculated with 200 users which was increased to 500 users and their throughput, median, average response time and deviation were calculated.
