JMeter logs uploaded throughout test run 

For easier debugging and faster understanding of the issues in the test, we now upload JMeter log files periodically during the test

Compare report now supports two resolutions

You’ve asked for it, and we’ve added support for both 1 sec and 1 min resolutions on the compare report.

Schedule tests directly from the UI

We have now brought the scheduling capability to UI, allowing users to schedule their tests directly & simply from UI. If you need advanced configuration, you can set a cron syntax in under the advanced section.

 

 

Control your proxy authentication configuration

The BlazeMeter Proxy Recorder now supports port 80 as well as random ports. iOS users can now use the Proxy Recorder for recordings by choosing the random port option.

 

Debug mode UI upgraded

Now, users will see a blue “Debug Run” stripe in the Original Test Configuration tab.

 

Workspace search UI improved

Now, the workspaces navigation dropdown supports inline search for workspaces. Instead of very long scrolling, users can now search to speed/simplify the effort.

 

Smart Java version selector

The JMeter Properties section in the New Test Create will show users only the java versions that are relevant to their selected JMeter version.

New “Environment” page

The new environment page can be found in the account’s settings section, enabling users to configure a local plugins repository. At the moment, this page will be shown only for accounts with Private Locations and it includes the local JMeter repository configuration.

 

 

Navigate to the executive report directly from results email

 

We’ve added the option to view your executive summary report directly from your report notification email. 

 

Here is what’s new with the November 18th release:

• Add a test to a Multi-Test (NTC) that’s already running
• Improved JMX Converter at converter.blazemeter.com
• Enhanced TeamCity plugin (version 2.3)

 

Add a test to a Multi-Test (NTC) that’s already running

One of the features long-time BlazeMeter power users love is the ability to add additional load or entirely new test logic to a large test that’s already running. No need to stop, reconfigure and re-launch: Just launch an additional test and join it to the Multi-Test in progress.  This feature is now live in New Test Create (NTC), also known as BlazeMeter “V4”.

 

Read Add Load/Logic Mid-Test in the Knowledge Base article for Multi-Test (NTC) to learn more.

 

 

 

Improved JMX Converter at converter.blazemeter.com

• End User Experience Monitoring: multi-step scenarios
• JMeter 5.0, Java 11 and Taurus 13.1 now supported
• New setting in NTC: delay between requests
• Usage Report CSV: “Test Ended” column added

 

New Test Create (NTC) Multi-Test Is Here!

 

The New Test Create (NTC) Multi-Test is here.  It’s never been easier to create multiple test collections that launch and report as a single test. Simply type a few characters to find the tests you want and add them.  Visualize the combined result, make local overrides and launch!

 

 

End User Experience Monitoring: multi-step scenarios

 

Need to monitor more than simple URLs - e.g. a page with login? Just upload one or more Selenium scripts recorded in Taurus YAML by the updated Chrome extension, enable End User Experience Monitoring and we’ll capture real-browser journeys throughout your load test.

 

 

JMeter 5.0, Java 11 and Taurus 13.1 now supported

 

We’ve upgraded our engine images to support:

• JMeter 5.0
• Java 11
• Taurus 13.1

 

New setting in NTC: delay between requests

 

When entering multiple URL/API requests in New Test Create (NTC), you can now add a delay between them by clicking on the “Scenario Definition” block:

 

 

Usage Report CSV: “Test Ended” column added

 

 

The Usage Report download CSV now includes a “Test Ended” column. Access the Usage Report in Settings > Account and Settings > Workspace (requires you to be an account admin or workspace manager, respectively).

Don’t miss these new features we have recently taken live:

 

• Chrome Extension: Record JMeter and Selenium Simultaneously
• Jenkins Plugin: Push Latest Test Files to BlazeMeter
• Jenkins Plugin: Push Auto-Generated Test Data to BlazeMeter

 

Chrome Extension: Record JMeter and Selenium Simultaneously

BlazeMeter’s Chrome extension now allows you to record both JMeter and Selenium scripts in a single session. You can edit and debug Selenium scripts directly in the browser, run the recorded scripts on BlazeMeter or export scripts in JMeter (JMX) or Taurus YAML formats. It’s the perfect way to create End User Experience Monitoring journeys for real-browser performance during load tests. We have even more Chrome Extension features coming soon!

 

Jenkins Plugin: Push Latest Test Files to BlazeMeter

 

Use BlazeMeter’s Jenkins plugin to automatically update your test scripts before each run from your version control system (Git, GitHub, Bitbucket,...).

 

 

Jenkins Plugin: Push Auto-Generated Test Data to BlazeMeter

Also you can use the same setup (BlazeMeter’s Jenkins plugin and version control system) to dynamically push fresh test data to your BlazeMeter tests. Just generate the data, output it to your source control system or Jenkins workspace and let the updated BlazeMeter Jenkins Plugin push the updated data into your test configuration on each run.
