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 →

  Apache JMeter offers testers a multitude of different features that we can use to create and run JMeter tests. One of these features is the ability to record JMeter scripts with a mobile device by connecting the device to a proxy that you setup inside JMeter. Once we set up this proxy, we can then connect our mobile device to it in an effort to test various iOS and Android mobile applications. We have previouslyRead More →

JMeter 3.0 is a major update from the community and one that is years in the making. For any open source project to pull off a release of this size is no easy accomplishment. Contributions from 26 individuals are mentioned and we are sure many good discussions in the forum drove ideas and collaboration. With this release, JMeter continues to solidify itself as the leader in performance testing; a workhorse that has been providing value for moreRead More →

Typically, whether we are starting a load test or developing a strategy used for load testing, we often come to wonder about the specifics of the user’s usage patterns. “What exactly are users doing once they’re on our website?”, is a very common question that we often hear. Thankfully, web server access logs can help us answer this question and others due to the fact that these logs contain a range of information like HTTP requests,Read More →

How to use the Duration Assertion to fail a test? The Apache JMeter Duration Assertion documentation http://jmeter.apache.org/usermanual/component_reference.html#Duration_Assertion  Definition: The Duration Assertion validates that each response is received within a given amount of time. Any response that takes longer than the given number of milliseconds (specified by the user) is recorded as a failed response. Parameter Usage Duration in milliseconds If the requests take longer than ms supplied, Sampler is considered failed Apply to Main and Sub-Samples Main SamplesRead More →

What are WebSockets The WebSockets specification enables Web applications to maintain bidirectional communications with server-side processes, this specification introduces the WebSocket interface. In plain words: You can maintain a persistent connection between client and server which is available for data communication anytime while the connection is open.  Some resources and tutorials include WebSockets.org HTML5Rocks Introducing WebSockets Using JMeter to Create WebSocket Requests By default, JMeter does not provide a websocket sampler. However, the JMeter community is pretty powerful.   MaciejRead More →
