How to load test OpenID/OAUTH

Performance testing scripts need to go through authentication in order to access target services with the right authorization. They also need to validate that the authentication servers are able to handle the target load. OpenID Connect(OIDC) has become a popular authentication and authorization protocol for securing web applications. This article will present the OIDC protocol and how to implement a JMeter script to performance test it.

JMeter language support

In this blog post we are going to discuss using JMeter localised to a language other than English. We are not discussing computer languages that are supported. We will look at currently supported languages and how to change your local instance to use these languages. We will also look at how you can submit a language translation if you would like to and have the ability to.

JMeter ForEach Controller

Among the many elements JMeter offers for creating test scenarios, the ForEach loop stands out as an efficient way of browsing and processing data. The ForEach loop in JMeter is a controller that allows you to cycle through the elements of a list or variable, executing the test samples included in the loop for each element iteratively. This is particularly useful when you need to perform tests with dynamic data, or when you want to repeat a sequence of samples for different values.

Tracing Slow Performance

You have built your performance test and executed the tests under load and your tests do not meet your requirements in terms of response times. Or you are unable to execute your tests with the number of concurrent users required. In this post we will give some insights into where you might want to start looking for the root cause of your performance issues.

Performance Testing and ChatGPT

Performance testing applications requires a set of skill that are build and gathered over many years of studying and using the various techniques and tools that are required to make sure the application you are testing is fit for production. Now we have all heard of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the many tools and companies that now exist in the AI space. Based on a quick look on the internet there are around 15,000 AI startups in the United States alone.

Performance Testing in a Scrum Framework

Agile development teams generally follow the principles of Scrum where individual teams work together to manage their workload through a set of values, principles, and practises. From a development perspective this gives a team which comprises a Product Owner, Scrum Master, and Development team the autonomy to work and deliver in an environment that suits their needs and helps them develop change for the organisation in a way that maximises efficiencies.
