JMeter Lightning Talkby @jameseisenhauer of @hubbubhealth

QUICK & DIRTY TEST DATA GENERATION

● Don't know the Database Schema but you know the UI functionality

● Repurpose scripted performance tests to created specific data

● Point JMeter at developer workstations to help them create test data on local

DAILY BENCHMARK

● Run the same light* load test every day● Make sure you are not trending slower

CONTINUOUS INTEGRATIONJMeter Performance Pluginhttps://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Performance+Plugin

!!!! Need to switch jmeter.properties to XML format. Default was changed in newer versions to CSV

Run via the command line!jmeter -n -t JoinChallengeDailyPerformanceTest.jmx -l JoinChallengeDailyPerformanceTest.jtl -Djava.awt.headless=true

-n = Non-Gui, -t = Test File, -l = Log File

THE CLOUD

● Need some bandwidth?● Easy to set up single JMeter instance

running on EC2. For very large load tests look to BlazeMeter
