JMeter is a widely used open source software that can be used not only for performance testing but also for interface automation testing. Here are some advantages and disadvantages of using JMeter for interface automation testing:

advantage：

1. Ease of use：JMeter is easy to use, most operations have corresponding components to help complete, it is open source and has high community acceptance.
2. flexibility: Provides BeanShell scripting capabilities, allowing custom extension of new protocol support, such as the JMeter plug-in for the Dubbo protocol.
3. Support multiple protocols: In addition to HTTP, it also supports JDBC, etc., and can store test results in the database for verification.
4. Interface performance reuse: Well-written interface tests can be easily used for performance testing.
5. Community Improvement: Provides rich protocol support and testing components.
6. No reliance on interface: You can add test cases and execute tests without interface interaction.
7. Test scripts are easy to maintain: You can copy the test script and save a part of it separately.

shortcoming：

1. Scripting flexibility: JMeter's scripting flexibility is limited compared to using a programming language directly.
2. Reporting capabilities: Although it provides HTML reports, it is mainly used for performance testing, with complex configuration and inconvenient sharing.
3. Continuous Integration: The integration configuration process with Jenkins and other tools is complex, and there is insufficient support for automated testing environment management.
4. Test script and results management
