Previously Loadero had the same amount of compute power assigned to each participant in every test, but applications that our customers test are different and have different demands for end user machine resources. That is why we added compute units to give our customers better flexibility in test creation. This also allows to run much larger load tests as well as optimize cost of running the tests for the applications that don’t use much compute power.
Leaving movie quotes aside, load testing helps you understand how your application behaves under both normal and peak conditions, and discover what is causing the degradation. But truly, the main goal of load testing is not to lose customers. You don’t do load testing for the sake of doing load testing.
It’s so easy to record a load test for your website, just add to Chrome Browser the JMeter in the Cloud Chrome Extension and you’ll be able to record and run a load in less than 60 seconds. Let’s have a deeper look how to do this. This is it, less than 60 seconds to record a load test. Now you can: More detail can be found in this video. Written by Bogdan Vazzolla.
If you need to run a JMeter Load Test and it’s a burden to download Apache JMeter locally on your machine, open it and manually create your JMeter test file, now there is a much easier way to record browser interactions with JMeter. The LoadFocus | JMeter Load Testing in the Cloud Chrome Extension for recording JMeter test script files (.JMX files) from LoadFocus is a free tool to easily record and run load tests in the cloud.
Regression Testing, as all Quality Assurance professionals know, is ensuring that previously developed and tested software continues to operate after a change. 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.
v0.29.0 contained a lot of interesting features. Have a look at the release notes for details! gRPC is a light-weight open-source RPC framework. It was originally developed by Google, with 1.0 being released in August 2016. Since then, it's gained a lot of attention as well as a wide adoption. In comparison to JSON, which is transmitted as human-readable text, gRPC is binary, making it both faster to transmit and more compact.
This release contains the work of over 10 contributors split over more than 100 commits. v0.29.0 contains a whole bunch of new, exciting features. We hope that you'll enjoy it as much as we do! Read the full release notes here.
