BlazeMeter, provider of the JMeter based load testing cloud, announced the release of a Dynamic Master-Slave feature.
The new Master-Slave configuration provides an efficient way to run several load tests in parallel, all controlled by a single ‘Master’ test and then aggregates all test runs into a single report.
The dynamic configuration allows users to define a test as a Master before and during the test, in real-time. At any point before and during the load test run, additional tests, coined ‘Slaves’ can be added or removed from the Master configuration.
The new Master-Slave feature also aggregates the results from numerous test sessions simulating different business processes into one single report. This includes the option for aggregating the results from numerous geo locations. Previously, developers were required to define a single test that encompassed all processes. BlazeMeter’s Dynamic Master-Slave configuration alleviates the need for usage of JMeter’s Include Controller in the case of multiple JMX files, further simplifying test set up.
Blazemeter Delayed Load Start Feature
Last month, Blazemeter announced the release of a delayed load start feature, designed to provider greater control over multi-server load tests. Developers can now start their load test engines without pushing the pedal to the metal, and have complete control over which servers are running and exactly when they start to run.
The new feature allows performance engineers absolute control over whether to start a test with the maximum load, or to control the amount of load in real-time.
Furthermore, for scenarios when you need to simulate flash traffic that goes from zero to 100,000 users in seconds, not minutes, you can start up all the load servers and have them ready to go and at the press of a button unleash the full fury of all your load server within a matter of seconds.
The new delayed load start feature spawns all servers at the onset of a load test run at once, while allowing users to add actual load incrementally for a wider scope of ramp up scenarios.
The delayed load start feature also provides developers more leeway at the onset of a test, and allows for adding users via ramp up which not only adds more traffic to the test, but also simulates a more precise real world scenario.
