What Do Software Testers need to know about BlazeMeter?
As a cross-platform and portable performance testing tool, Apache JMeter helps testers to assess performance of various applications, servers, and protocols by simulating varying user load. The testers even have option to extend the core functionality of JMeter by integrating it with compatible software testing tools and frameworks. BlazeMeter provides cloud-based performance testing solutions which are fully compatible with JMeter.
The testers can use BlazeMeter as a load testing platform as a service (PaaS). They can even integrate BlazeMeter with JMeter to create large-scale user loads and conduct performance testing in the cloud. The features provided by BlazeMeter further helps testing professionals to measure performance of web applications, web services, mobile apps, and database applications by simulating a large number of concurrent users simultaneously.
Und Understandi erstanding ng Imp Important ortant F Fea eatures tures of of Blaz BlazeMeter eMeter FULLY COMPATIBLE WITH JMETER JMeter is currently one of the most widely used performance testing tools. It further supports functional testing and distributed testing. But JMeter was originally developed as a performance testing tool for web applications. It lacks the capability to render HTML or interpret JavaScript. Also, it consumes additional resources and memory. Hence, the testers have to follow several best practices and use third-party plug-ins to overcome the shortcomings of JMeter. BlazeMeter is 100% compatible with JMeter. Hence, the testers can integrate BlazeMeter with JMeter to overcome these shortcomings and accelerate performance testing.
MEASURE PERFORMANCE OF VARYING SOFTWARE JMeter enables testers to measure performance of various applications, servers, and protocols. The testers can use BlazeMeter to measure performance programming interfaces (APIs) and mobile apps, in additional to web applications and database applications. They even have option to reuse and execute the existing JMeter test scripts as functional API tests. BlazeMeter further enables testers to measure the performance of the software more efficiently in the cloud. of application
CONTROL VARIOUS ASPECTS OF THE TEST The testers can integrate BlazeMeter seamlessly with widely used software testing tools like Selenium, Grinder, Locust and Gatling. They even have option to unify multiple tests and run them as a single test while maintaining granular reporting. At the same time, BlazeMeter allows testers to control various aspects of a test – threads, arrival rate, hits per second and test scenarios – in real time. Hence, it becomes easier for testing professionals to produce more accurate and reliable performance testing results.
RECORD REAL TRAFFIC FROM VARIOUS DEVICES The features provided by BlazeMeter make it easier for testers to real-time traffic from various devices. The testers can use the secure proxy provided by the tool to capture all requests coming to the JMeter script. They can even use a Chrome extension to record browser actions to the JMeter script. The automatic script converted provided by BlazeMeter simplifies the process of converting existing test scripts into new files and scripts. These options help testers to measure the performance of web applications and mobile apps across multiple devices.
