BlazeMeter vs. TestDrive vs. TestGrid

It is well suited for applications that are mission-critical or applications that can receive high traffic/transactions at unscheduled time periods. Using the load testing feature of BlazeMeter, we can test and ascertain the capacity of the application without the drawbacks of the usual Apache JMeter load testing which depends heavily on the host system from where the load testing is performed.

The more our business grew, the more we felt the risk on the horizon in that we needed somewhere to really manage and document our testing evidence. So, TestDrive helped us through the testing phase of the project by documenting and being able to access testing results, and also we had a broader scale view around regression testing.

Easy navigation. Test Data Management. Flexible Supports for Automation Testing Sometimes it fails to connect to cloud devices or browsers

• BlazeMeter takes the .jmx script that teams had written for JMeter. The transition from JMeter to BlazeMeter was seamless.
• BlazeMeter offers its own cloud and hence we did not have to set it up on-premise.
• BlazeMeter hits our application from various geographic locations that simulates real life users.

Incentivized

• Easy automation.
• Great customer service.
• Easy script running.
• Relatively easy to implement.

Incentivized

• Low barrier to entry for beginner test engineer due to scriptless nature of test case
• Proficient test engineer could utilize CI/CD Integration
• Both Browser & Mobile Device Infrastructure Available Natively

• Blazemeter reporting is very basic and shallow. There is no way to drill down or correlate. I can get better reports by using JMeter for free.
• Blazemeter is very costly. Testing with volumes of more than 1K cu is expensive, and can be done for much cheaper if a company/team is willing to invest a bit of time to figure out how to use cloud instances and jmeter slaves, and to write a basic script to collect resulting xml output.

Incentivized

• Not suitable for small applications.

Incentivized

• Can be slow in instances where multiple scripts and requests are running on a webpage plus the docs can also be improved

Easy to setup to do API Performance Testing. Dashboard to showcase results Capability to showcase runtime results

In comparison with Blazemeter the closes competitor is JMeter but it has disadvantages like it is not a tool that can be use as a collaborative tool and works locally in a computer, Blazemeter is in the web so different people can access and run tests or collaborate do add, edit or delete the existent scripts.

We have not tried other similar products so it is difficult to say, but we definitely enjoy this product and the support team to work with

We frequently came across scenarios which were too cumbersome for manual testing & wanted an easy automation solution. We are now using TestGrid for those scenarios & are happy with the product.

• It helped positively by helping to identify the maximum capacity needed for high traffic periods
• Saved revenue by eliminating unwanted duplication of systems

Incentivized

• Thanks to TestDrive, our automation is always ready to run, and the script maintenance lag is removed, testing can go ahead, and issues are found quicker.
• We no longer worry about varying response times for the application, nor do we no need to code "timing loops" to check if the application is in the right state.

Incentivized

• we were looking for a remote infrastructure provider so that our remote team could use it for automation as well as manual testing.
