We integrated it with CI/CD pipeline for automation testing with every build. It has best GUI one can learn and implement the test script easily. It allows us create multiple project on console based on our requirements. We are also using this for functional testing. we have seet alert and trigger report to specific group on completion of testing. We can also fetch historical test report from It's report section.

Pros

  • Load Testing -> Comparing API response in old server and new server
  • Functional testing
  • Integration with Jenkins so It will trigger automatically with CI/CD pipeline
  • We get email about test reports which shows API response details.

Cons

  • It required good knowledge to analyze BlazeMeter report.

Pros

  • 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.

Cons

  • BlazeMeter should not require the purchase of 2 dedicated IPs for each suite of performance tests.
  • BlazeMeter should make custom packages cheaper than they are today when purchased for an enterprise and should include dedicated IPs in the package.
  • BlazeMerer should have integration with Jenkins Pipeline 2.0.

Return on Investment

  • BlazeMerter helped performance tests run on their cloud, thereby diminishing our on-prem setup costs tremendously.
  • BlazeMeter pings our application from several geographical locations, thereby simulating real life users.
  • BlazeMeter offers dedicated IPs so that firewall issues can be bypassed.
