Jmeter : Stress test configuration with multiple user systems pointed to enterprise application

Question

We have 2 applications: 1. A standalone application(java application) running on user system 2. Web-application

To create a stress test script as in real-production scenario. I would like to clone multiple user-system's which would communicate with the web-application.

Is there any way I could to that with Jmeter or any other tool.

I am new to Jmeter & stress-testing as I am a developer. So I apologize for naive questions.

You can setup jmeter in distributed environment. follow the steps in the document shared below.

https://jmeter.apache.org/usermanual/jmeter_distributed_testing_step_by_step.pdf

In order to test the standalone Java application, you can do one of the following: 1. you can make a jar of your application 2. if your application accepts arguments, your can use OS sampler to call your jar with arguments. 3. otherwise, you can copy the jar to lib/ext folder of jmeter and use Beanshell sampler to import your lib/jar and create the test by calling all the methods.

hope this will help.
