A little preparation will save us tons of time later when everything changes. And everything is always certain to change.
After the fun excitement of the first tutorial in which we made our very first API call with JMeter, we are going step back and do some very boring preparation for the future. One thing we can be certain of is that changes happen in software projects. A small amount of effort put in early in a project can greatly help reduce the headache of updates and maintenance later down the timeline.
