Postman Load Test

Postman, the popular tool used for building, testing, and delivering API’s, is now compatible with RedLine13 to run a Postman load test. We’ve integrated Postman as a means to run any Postman collection inside RedLine13 as a performance test.  The project is available on github. Postman Collections In Postman, a collection is used to allow you to bundle many different requests into one group. Collections are a great way to organize requests so that they “accurately mirrorRead More →

ubik-video-streaming-sampler-3-0-0-redline13-1

UBIK Load Pack Video Streaming Plugin 3.0.0 Our friends at UBIK-Ingénierie have recently updated their video streaming plugin. With the launch of version 3.0.0, UBIK has renamed the HLS Plugin to “UBIK Load Pack Video Streaming Plugin”. Prior to the launch of the original HLS plugin, there wasn’t really an easy or efficient means to test video streaming inside of Apache JMeter. So the UBIK team created the HLS Plugin as a means to do so. HLS, orRead More →

graph-update-users-running

We have updated the Overview Graphs by adding the ability to see the exact number of virtual users currently running at that time period. To support this change, we modified simple and custom languages tests to report when a user starts after the ramp up period: Now with our update, graphs will now give more accurate views of when a virtual user starts the test script:Read More →

In our most recent webinar we talk with Shantonu Sarker, a senior full stack software performance & automation engineer in test from Luxoft. Shantonu has nearly 10 years of experience in the industry and writes for his website “A Test Developer’s Blog“. He’s going to take us through the basics of performance monitoring when it comes to testing. We would like to again thank Shantonu for hosting this webinar with us, and look forward to futureRead More →

EC2 Update

We’ve recently added EC2 region support for Ohio, and RedLine13 users now have access to even more servers on the East Coast of the United States. Amazon added the new server locations in Ohio in 2016, offering users more flexibility when it comes to EC2 instances. With this new addition, RedLine13 users can now run tests on servers in: Virginia (us-east-1) Ohio (us-east-2) California (us-west-1) Oregon (us-west-2) Ireland (eu-west-1) Frankfurt, Germany (eu-central-1) Sao Paolo, Brazil (sa-east-1)Read More →

AWS Update

We are always looking for ways to make load testing even cheaper. Many of our frequent users are running larger and longer load tests as they progress through integrating performance testing into the software development lifecycle.  With that growth, each load agent could potentially generate logs or .jtl files which are multiple gigabytes per load agent. As a post-test process, we merge JMeter JTL files with the generated Apache JMeter Dashboard Report (similar is done for theRead More →

AWS Update

A user recently reached out to us and asked: We have some feedback regarding the ability to shutdown any instance in AWS. We perceive the “Show All Servers” with the ability to shut them down as a dangerous option. People who normally do not have access to terminate EC2 instances all of the sudden gain those privileges once they are given access to RedLine13. Someone could by mistake terminate an important instance. It is possible to removeRead More →

RedLine13 Webinar Performance Testing a healthcare application with HL7 & JMeter

In our past webinar, we had a discussion with Janesh Kodikara of Pragmatic Test Labs, a software testing and quality assurance consulting firm that offers testing services, training, consultation, software development, and more. Back in 2013, one of their clients required their healthcare application tested on an enterprise level. The app was an ICU dashboard that helped monitor patient’s vital signs, and Pragmatic Test Labs needed a way to test it. With a combination of HL7, Apache JMeter,Read More →

We have recently implemented a new update that now displays your tests in your respective time zone.
