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 →
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 →

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 →
