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 versus Do-it-Yourself Load Testing
