Do-it-Yourself JMeter Testing

JMeter is one of the most popular load testing frameworks. However, to use JMeter at scale requires supporting infrastructure. In this post, we will be comparing and contrasting do-it-yourself JMeter testing versus managed JMeter load testing. With the rise of cloud computing architectures, it has become increasingly the standard to test using cloud-based resources. This means writing scripts to provision servers, coordinate load generators, and handle data collection.  Load testers using JMeter have two general options.Read More →

RedLine13 offers users the ability to scale out custom python load tests in their own AWS environment. In this video, we demonstrate uploading and running a simple python test on RedLine13, showing how simple and cost-effective it is to run python load tests with RedLine13. Getting Started When running a custom python load test on RedLine13, we begin by logging into our account, hitting “Start Test”, and then navigating to the “Custom Test” tab.

  Based on feedback that we have been hearing from our users, we have recently created a node version manager plugin. With this new plugin, RedLine13 now supports pretty much any version of Node.JS which makes it easier to run custom load tests. Instead of having to use command line prompts for node version manager, users are now able to easily access almost every version of Node.JS.

We have made writing and running custom load tests easier by opening up our test harnesses for building both Node.JS and PHP tests. Users can now run custom load tests on your local machine before deploying them at scale. You can modify the loadtest.ini file with your own custom parameters. To see the full documentation on these updates, visit our GitHub: Load Harness – Custom PHP Tests git clone https://github.com/redline13/harness-custom-test-php.git cd harness-custom-test-php.git php runLoadTest.php ExampleTest Then substitute inRead More →
