No Automated Testing

Just use https://jmeter.apache.org/usermanual/curl.html and no JMeter proxy etc needed : )   Though it is quite east to convert curl requests to corresponding JMeter request. At times you might be stuck with issue like I faced when uploading a file with  JMeter HTTP request In a gist I kept getting 404 error when using REStful service to upload a file. After days of investigations I found it that I should be using HTTP request implementation java and not HttpClient4. JMeter HTTPs Test Script recorder was of great help to debug this issue. This post describes the process of recording curl request through JMeter HTTPs Test Script recorder. If you have never used JMeter HTTPs Test Script recorder then create a new JMeter Plan and under WorkBench > Add > Non Test Element > HTTP(s) Test Script Recorder.  Specify Global Setting > Port as 8090 If we were using browser to record web application then we would configure its proxy to 127.0.0.1 (Since http...

I was using PATCH request with JMeter and I get following error - ######################################################## j ava.net.ProtocolException: Invalid HTTP method: PATCH at java.net.HttpURLConnection.setRequestMethod(HttpURLConnection.java:428) at sun.net.www.protocol.https.HttpsURLConnectionImpl.setRequestMethod(HttpsURLConnectionImpl.java:374) ### ### ### ### ### ### ### ### ### ### ### ### ### ### ### ### ### ### ### The problem lies with HTTP Request implementation being used here. Java implementation of HTTP request does not support PATH request and you should be using HTTPClient 4 implementation to get rid of this error

Having posted elaborately on how to carry out JMeter distributed and using Jmeter Backend listener to plot live graph of running test. I have been disappointed with entire approach. And my disappointment is not limited to just JMeter as any other performance testing tool would suffer from similar factors. Distributed test itself results in lower throughput than what you can achieve from test running from independent machine. This is described on http://www.http503.com/2012/jmeter-ec2/ (unfortunately web site is down for quite some time). I am pasting the reasoning here - If you want to use your local machine to control the test you have to navigate the joyous process of getting RMI to work over multiple subnets and firewalls to allow your local machine to control multiple remote (EC2) slaves – you can do this by tunnelling RMI communication and patching JMeter, it’s messy though. To workaround this issue you have to use a remote Master as well as remote Slaves. Even then...

Questions to ask Have performance test workflow(s) been identified? Has sanity functional tests been successful. You would not want to carry out performance tests on an application which is functionally broken. What does the target system (hardware) look like (specify all server and network appliance configurations)?. Monitor load average, cpu, memory etc on all servers. These can be easily monitored using top command on unix system. Don’t forget to monitor health of test agents. load average, cpu utilization, IO, Memory usage are the least you should monitor on test agent. Many a times you would encounter that you hit system limit on load test agent which degrades test results. Is test environment same as live environment else test results would have to be extrapolated Has benchmarking been done ? (The objective of Benchmark tests is to determine end-to-end timing of various critical business processes and transactions while the system is under low...

Since JMeter 2.13 Backend Listener has been available to create real time graph of JMeter Test. Following tutorial explain the entire process in detail. At the end of this tutorial you would be able to create JMeter Live Test Result dashboard similar to following - This tutorial borrows information from many sources and my own experiments with JMeter live reporting dashboard. I have added source of information wherever applicable But before we can build such a snazzy JMeter Live Reporting dashboard we need to understand two more components - influxDB (a time series database) and Grafana Dashboard This is a big tutorial, so take deep breath :-) and follow on. Once you complete set up specified in this tutorial then you can watch JMeter Training Video Tutorial to watch this in action. What is Time Series Database? A time series is a sequence of data points , typically consisting of successive measurements made over a time interval . Examples of time ...
