cloud-load-testing

Intro We can gain a lot of insight into how applications or websites perform thanks to load testing. If you’re serious about testing, running tests inside your local environment will only take you so far. Eventually you will need some kind of solution that allows you to scale. This is where cloud load testing comes into play. Before the cloud, testing was very expensive to run. The costs associated with running & maintaining the hardware neededRead More →

redline13-new-load-agent-location-manager-and-improved-spot-instance-prices

Load Agent Location Manager With our update, you can now control exactly which load agent locations you want to see and use. For example, if you only test on Virginian servers, it’d be best to only activate that load agent location, thus increasing your page’s reload time. You can also control the default subnet and security groups for all load agents: If you want to get started with the load agent location manager, begin by loggingRead More →

vredline13-aws-spot-instance-startup

We have improved the way error messages are displayed during test startup. Previously, error messages from AWS were being hidden. Rather than showing raw error from AWS, it would say “Automatically canceled due to test startup error”: The generic message was not clearly stating the issue. We’ve added two new updates that will fix this: Real-Time Pre-Test Messages First, during a test starting up with a Spot Instance request, we will show real time the messagesRead 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 →
