Many companies are struggling with the need for comprehensive load testing, the cost of load testing and limited budgets. This post will tell you about something you may not have considered: Load Testing with AWS Spot vs On-Demand Instances. To begin with, RedLine13 understands the high cost of load testing. If you don’t know the RedLine13 story, that’s what led us to create RedLine13 for our own testing. There are many different types of load testingRead More →
JMeter tests running on RedLine13 with multiple load generators have visibility to the server “index” number as a JMeter property. One of our customers was running large scale load tests across multiple servers. They needed a way to correlate test plans running on individual server machines, something akin to the example described below. Sometimes useful features come from our customers solving real-world issues, and this is an example of one such case. This property – rl13_agentindexRead More →
When we think of performance testing, often the first thing that comes to mind are highly scaled systems generating as much traffic as possible. This is done because we consider the most extreme conditions a production environment will encounter is when many users (or a coordinated attack) converge at once. However, extreme conditions can also be encountered at the other end of the spectrum with poor quality network connections. For example, a RedLine13 customer discovered thatRead More →
