Course Summary

This intermediate course helps you make the most of BlazeMeter's assistive test data generation tool, Test Data Pro. You will learn how BlazeMeter can automatically identify hard-coded data in your scripts and generate more test data of the same type. BlazeMeter can also generate chaotic and negative test data for Data Parameters that covers well-known but easily missed corner cases. And thirdly, you will learn how to control the probabilistic distribution of randomly generated values.

Most of the Test Data Pro features shown are algorithmic or use built-in seed lists. Enterprise account members can enable additional data generators that are driven by artificial intelligence (AI).

This course assumes you understand the basics of testing in BlazeMeter, Data Entities, Data Parameters, and test parameterization that were introduced in the Test Data Fundamentals course.
