Test Types with Jenkins and RedLine13

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 →

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 →

We keep working on releases and updates based completely on user feedback, so keep it coming and hopefully we can continue to make load testing simple and affordable together. Gatling.io Update Multiple Feeder files – no longer only one file for Gatling load tests, now Gatling is supported on par with Apache JMeter. Split – Any text file can be split across multiple servers.   A 10,000 line csv file called users.csv run with 10 servers will be split evenly across 10Read More →

We roll these out as we develop them – a number of them free like Jenkins, Gatling and JMeter  support, and some of them reserved for our Professional version. Here is a recap of all of the features (and pointers to the documentation) we are offering for only $30 per month and UNLIMITED use: Clone Test A one click mechanism to re-run a previousRead More →

Rich and Bob decided to attend AWS re:Invent and demonstrate the fruits of a bunch of work Rich has done to create a more pluggable architecture.  Namely: Load Testing for Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery with Jenkins Plug-In Simple Scalability with JMeter   If you look at our architecture, Rich added plug-ability to our our core web service via an API that Jenkins could communicate with and control, and the load agent so that it couldRead More →

Load testing has always been too expensive to make it a part of your Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment process. That changes with RedLine13, since all you are paying for are your AWS costs – which RedLine13 minimizes by deploying spot instances and managing them for you by spinning them up and bringing them down automatically. RedLine13 makes it simple to set up with Jenkins.  Download and install the Jenkins Plug In, and then configure theRead More →

RedLine recently passed the stringent requirements of the CloudBees Technology Partner Program. You can see an overview as well as a detailed integration write-up. One of the main benefits is that as developers use CloudBees to develop-test-deploy their app there is now a very low cost way to estimate the proper configuration.  And with CloudBees you can either set-up Autoscaling or tune your configuration to the size that you need. Since the cost of running loadRead More →
