# jmeter vs spring-boot

jmeter and spring-boot share 6 technologies: jakarta.jms:jakarta.jms-api, Neo4j, org.freemarker:freemarker, org.apache.logging.log4j:log4j-api, org.slf4j:slf4j-api, and org.apache.logging.log4j:log4j-core. Both are written in Java.

- [apache/jmeter](https://seerepo.com/r/apache/jmeter): Apache JMeter open-source load testing tool for analyzing and measuring the performance of a variety of services
- [spring-projects/spring-boot](https://seerepo.com/r/spring-projects/spring-boot): Spring Boot helps you to create Spring-powered, production-grade applications and services with absolute minimum fuss.

- Who writes it: A commit counts as AI's when it carries its signature: a Co-Authored-By line, its author name or the merge of its branch.
- Activity: From GitHub and its history, on the day SeeRepo read it.
- Tests: The files that test the code, and the share of code files a test imports.
