The Complete Guide of JMeter Controllers

In this blog post we are going to look at several JMeter Controllers, specifically: This is not an exhaustive list of controllers that JMeter offers but these once will give you a clear insight into how controllers are integral in defining load testing scenarios and how without them you will struggle to build complex and indicative load tests.

OctoPerf v12.2 - Flexible license sharing, improved VU validation, XPath and JQuery

We’ve been working a lot behind the scenes for this release because we wanted to address the license sharing issue. Up until today it was only possible to ask us to share the license for you and sharing could only share every license you own. We had to completely refactor the way we handle licenses to allow you to decide on your own to share all or a fraction of your subscriptions. But that’s not all, we also worked on a VU validation with multiple iterations.

Troubleshoot your tests

Preparing resilient tests can be a challenging process when you do not know where to start. We will cover this in this guide, from the virtual user validation to smoke testing. And then analyzing the most common errors and how to fix them. Note that we also recommend reading this other guide, it can greatly help understand the analysis and report engine of OctoPerf.

Performance Regression being a subset of regression testing as a discipline is therefore ensuring that previously developed and tested continues to meet its performance criteria after a change.
