Many of our frequent users are running larger and longer load tests as they progress through integrating performance testing into the software development lifecycle.  With that growth, each load agent could potentially generate logs or .jtl files which are multiple gigabytes per load agent. As a post-test process, we merge JMeter JTL files with the generated Apache JMeter Dashboard Report (similar is done for theRead More →

We are now seeing a new use case for cloud performance testing emerge, not simply a means to validate scale, but as a service to validate deployment options based on size, scale, and cost: load testing for capacity planning. This trend is a sign that the power of pricing/performance has shifted from operations teams to development andRead More →
