Symbol tables are an important data structure created and maintained by compilers to store information associated with identifiers . A simplified representation of a symbol table entry (or simply, a symbol) in Java has the following format:

Advances in the performance and capability of Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithms has led to a significant increase in adoption in recent years. In a February 2021 report by IDC, they estimate that world-wide revenues from AI will grow by 16.4% in 2021 to USD $327 billion. Furthermore, AI adoption is becoming increasingly widespread and not just concentrated within a small number of organisations.
In my main position, as a data scientist at SIL International, I work on expanding language possibilities with AI. Practically this includes applying recent advances in Natural Language Processing (NLP) to low resource and multilingual contexts. We work on things like spoken language identification, multilingual dialogue systems, machine translation, and translation quality estimation.
This post does not look at a particular aspect of JMeter nor does it give a detailed overview of how to use a particular tool that will compliment your performance testing with JMeter. What it is about is the principles of push to production pipelines and performance testing and while I have stated that this post is not specifically about JMeter in my experience JMeter is one of the best performance testing tools for this type of pipeline integration.
In this post we are going to look at WebSockets, specifically how JMeter can be used to test them. Web Sockets are not supported natively by JMeter but there are a couple of Plugins that you can use that work very nicely. One of them is called JMeter WebSocket Sampler by Maciej Zaleski and information on the library can be found here. The second and the one we will use for our post is also called JMeter WebSocket Sampler and is by Peter Doornbosch, more information on this Plugin can be found here.
There are many samplers that JMeter provides but I am willing to bet that the HTTP Request samplers is the most frequently used and, in this Blog Post, we are going to look at how this works and how it can be configured.
