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. It could be a new version of software and wanting to make sure that it will handle the volume. OrRead More →
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 →
Three members of the JMeter project team have written a new JMeter Ebook titled Master Apache JMeter From load testing to DevOps.” The authors are also experts in the performance field. They say that you “will deeply understand how to get the most out of it, be more productive & integrate it into your Agile/DevOps processes.” All new RedLine13 customers get a free copy of the JMeter Ebook. The authors are Antonio Gomes Rodrigues, Philippe Mouawad, and Milamber. They coverRead More →
You can already see real-time metrics of your tests. An API retrieves Live Load Test Metrics? Why would you want an API that does that while a load test is running? A RedLine13 customer asked for it and it became clear what the benefits would be. This means that while a load test is running, you can be monitoring the test with an API and initiating actions as soon as some event occurs. Which means youRead More →
This blog will be a deeper dive into Jenkins and RedLine13 and look at executing different test types with Jenkins and RedLine13. Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) is a convenient way to build and test your application. Jenkins, one of the most popular open source tool used to perform CI/CD tasks, can also be used to schedule load tests on RedLine13. If you haven’t configured Jenkins with RedLine13, follow this article. You can execute theRead More →
Jenkins is one of the most popular open source CI/CD tool used to build, deploy and test your project continuously. RedLine13 supports integration with Jenkins and means you can build, deploy and load test your project continuously with Jenkins. Load test plans can be executed directly from Jenkins. Here are the details for setting up Jenkins-Redline13 integration. Follow the instructions below to build, deploy and load test your project continuously with Jenkins. Before we begin, firstRead More →
Codeship provides Basic and Pro. For Codeship Basic integration, read Load Testing on Codeship with Redline13 – it just makes sense. With Basic you can run any command. Pro is a fully customizable Continuous Integration Platform with native Docker support. To integrate with Codeship Pro we have used Encrypted environment variables Service definition in codeship-services.yml Build steps defined in codeship-steps.yml 1 – Make your RedLine13 API Key available as an encrypted environment variable Get your RedLine13Read More →
Introduction When it comes to performance and load testing, it’s not uncommon that engineers/QA teams wait until the end of a product development lifecycle to start testing. Theoretically, this makes sense, as you can’t test an incomplete project, right? Well, maybe that’s not the case. As Agile software development has become a popular way many companies approach engineering, this fast-paced environment can put pressure on testers, especially when there are strict deadlines. So what if instead ofRead More →

From the Open Source Load Testing presentation http://www.slideshare.net/richardfriedman/open-source-load-testing Perhaps in a perfect world, every time code is submitted and reviewed, a Jenkins job kicks off a load test against your specific change. However, in reality, this has quite a few issues: Too early. Load testing too early in your process is noise Time. Realistically, most projects are not scoped with time for this Scope. Changing a readme file should not generate a load test For me, I have foundRead More →
