5 minutes readKey takeaways Calling the API from Bitbucket Pipelines makes performance a build step rather than a manual task. Store credentials as repository variables, never in the pipeline file. Gate on a threshold so a regression stops the build. Understanding Performance Testing in Modern CI/CD Pipelines What is CI/CD Performance Testing? CI/CD performance testing seamlessly integrates… Read more »
4 minutes readKey takeaways Use __UUID() when you need uniqueness, and a Counter when you need a predictable sequence. Unique data per virtual user avoids the false speed that comes from hitting the same cached record. JSR223 with Groovy handles anything the built-in functions cannot, at some CPU cost. In JMeter, generating dynamic IDs that can be… Read more »
3 minutes readKey takeaways Slow JMeter runs are usually the test plan, not the server: listeners, assertions and excess samplers. Remove requests that do not contribute to the scenario you are measuring. Run non-GUI. The GUI itself consumes the resources you wanted for load. Welcome to the world of JMeter! Are you aiming to boost the speed… Read more »
7 minutes readKey takeaways PHP scales by process, so the worker pool usually caps you before the code does. Check opcache and database connections first; both are common invisible ceilings. Test with a warm cache and a cold one, because the difference is often large. Overview Hey there! Ever had a website crash on you during a… Read more »
3 minutes readKey takeaways Start with the objective: a target user count and an acceptable response time. Test the journey that makes money before anything else. Run a small test first to validate the setup, then scale up. Here are some easy steps to follow in order to sucessfully do a load testing session for your newly… Read more »
3 minutes readKey takeaways Notes capture why a run looked the way it did, which raw metrics never record. Write the note at the time. The context is gone within a week. They make historical comparison useful, since you know what changed between runs. We’ve added the functionality to add notes to your load test results. This… Read more »
4 minutes readKey takeaways Setting a baseline turns each run into a regression check instead of a standalone number. Update the baseline deliberately when performance genuinely improves. Compare full results, not just the summary, since averages hide a worse tail. The load test comparison feature build-in to LoadFocus Results allows you to compare the results of two… Read more »
