How many businesses or organizations actually do continuous load testing? There are typically two purposes for load tests: event-based and continuous load tests. The first is the one we normally think of: load tests that are run due to some external event. It could be a new marketing campaign that is going to drive additional volume.

This post will specifically address team support of the Jenkins-RedLine13 integration. This integration with Jenkins means that you can build, deploy and load test your project continuously with Jenkins individually or as part of a team. We call this Automated Testing with Jenkins – Team Support. We’ll then talk about how a RedLine13 customer is doing this today. Setting up your Jenkins-Redline13 Integration If you haven’t set up your Jenkins-Redline13 integration, here are the instructions toRead More →

So what if instead ofRead More →
