Sass is a meta-language on top of CSS that’s used to describe the style of a document cleanly and structurally, with more power than flat CSS allows. Sass both provides a simpler, more elegant syntax for CSS and implements various features that are useful for creating manageable stylesheets.

The Apache JMeter™ desktop application is open source software, a 100% pure Java application designed to load test functional behavior and measure performance. It was originally designed for testing Web Applications but has since expanded to other test functions.
What can I do with it?
Apache JMeter may be used to test performance both on static and dynamic resources (files, Servlets, Perl scripts, Java Objects, Data Bases and Queries, FTP Servers and more). It can be used to simulate a heavy load on a server, network or object to test its strength or to analyze overall performance under different load types. You can use it to make a graphical analysis of performance or to test your server/script/object behavior under heavy concurrent load.

Using JMeter for a Simple Test:

Can use for the following testing:
- Check for race condition
Comet is a web application model in which a long-held HTTP request allows a web server to push data to a browser, without the browser explicitly requesting it.
- On frontend (default theme):
modify app/design/frontend/default/default/layout/page.xml
add line <action method=”addJs”><script>jquery/jquery.min.js</script></action> to block with name “head”
- On backend (default theme):
modify app/design/adminhtml/default/default/layout/main.xml
those layout files include javascript to every page header.
- Add these line to (default template) head.phtml
<script type=”text/javascript”>
$.noConflict();
</script>
- Lastly, when doing a JQuery code use this:
jQuery('...').doSomething();
Instead of:$('...').doSomething();
