BlazeMeter vs. TestProject

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.

We used to really love TestProject. It was easy to use, the interface was intuitive, and the customizations for test steps were great. Lately, though, in my experience, our agent has been dying, with no messaging, the support has been non-existent trying to help with these problems, and the installation was rough. I would have recommended this 6 months ago at a 9, but now, down to a two. If you can do everything yourself without support, if you have more visibility into the agent (ours is on a remote server) to see when it dies, and more, then you could use this product.

• 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.

• Integrations with other products
• Easy to use, test case creator
• Lots of plugins for more functionality

• 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.

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.

• Saved revenue by eliminating unwanted duplication of systems

• The user interface is super easy, we can generate multiple test cases quickly.
