JMeter properties

One area where JMeter certainly excels is in its seeming infinite extensibility, including a dizzying array of plugins and multiple scripting options on top of an already versatile test designer. Along these lines, here we will be discussing how to set properties as command line options through the Redline13 user interface.

Stopping a JMeter test

Despite our best efforts, we have all been there before. That load test that just concluded generated thousands of errors that it shouldn’t have. It could have been a miscalculation or a shifted decimal place on estimated traffic volumes; or rather it was a configuration setting on the target machines that was overlooked. Regardless, we wish we could have intercepted that test early in its execution, possibly saving valuable time, data charges, and virtual machine costs.Read More →

JMeter 5.4

When it comes to web products, load testing plays an instrumental role in analyzing and measuring the performance of the offered features (or services) under different load conditions. Consider a scenario where the application performs well under sub-optimal (and optimal) workload but its performance deteriorates when the workload is too high! Well, it could have a major impact on the user-experience since the requests might take much longer to process than expected. This is where ApacheRead More →
