uTest and BlazeMeter have formed a partnership to offer expertise and ease in executing, monitoring and interpreting performance tests using the open source testing framework, Apache JMeter.
BlazeMeter gains access to uTest's global community of performance engineers, making it even easier to adopt agile performance testing into any dev lifecycle. While uTest gains access to BlazeMeter's Apache JMeter-compatible performance testing infrastructure, which provides the scalability for companies to execute load tests on-demand.
Companies can now utilize the combination of uTest and BlazeMeter capabilities to receive a fully managed, end-to-end load testing solution that includes:
- Apache JMeter tests developed and maintained using uTest expertise - uTest's expert performance engineers work closely with customers to build high-quality load tests that accurately evaluate an app performance, and offer insights into how it can be improved
- BlazeMeter's optimized load testing platform - Massively scalable and on-demand, BlazeMeter’s Apache JMeter compatible cloud-based platform easily enables users to simulate traffic of ANY scale within minutes. No need to coordinate or provision resources in advance.
- Access to current and archived Apache JMeter load test results - Customers retain full access to archived tests for use or comparison with past test results.
- Freedom from expensive proprietary technology - Using Apache JMeter, companies avoid getting locked into a proprietary technology. This enables customers to maintain flexibility and control their load testing as their needs and applications change, and BlazeMeter is fully compatible for use with any Apache JMeter script or plugin as-is. No modifications, hardware or downloads needed.
“Customers have been asking uTest to bring the same fully managed, open approach to load testing that has made our functional testing business so successful,” said uTest CEO Doron Reuveni. “When we evaluated the landscape of load tools players -- and spoke with industry analysts and customers -- it became clear that BlazeMeter was the right partner. This agreement enables customers to have any web or mobile application load-tested quickly and affordably, regardless of their in-house expertise. Whether they need load testing before a big launch, the holidays, a major ad campaign, or on an ongoing basis, effective, open load testing has never been more accessible.”
For example, any company needing to simulate browser load capacity on a regular basis or simply before a traffic surge, like the upcoming Black Friday-Cyber Monday retail extravaganza, can use uTest's performance experts to create load scripts using Apache JMeter and then deploy those scripts on BlazeMeter's cloud-based performance testing platform. Companies can then assess how many visitors or just how much traffic their apps can handle, pinpoint site bottlenecks, fix and retest, and be advised by uTest's experts how to best address future problems.

Like most digital transformation shifts, organizations often prioritize productivity and leave security and observability to keep pace. This usually translates to both the mass implementation of new technology and fragmented monitoring and observability (M&O) tooling. In the era of AI and varied cloud architecture, a disparate observability function can be dangerous. IT teams will lack a complete picture of their IT environment, making it harder to diagnose issues while slowing down mean time to resolve (MTTR). In fact, according to recent data from the SolarWinds State of Monitoring & Observability Report, 77% of IT personnel said the lack of visibility across their on-prem and cloud architecture was an issue ...
In MEAN TIME TO INSIGHT Episode 23, Shamus McGillicuddy, VP of Research, Network Infrastructure and Operations, at EMA discusses the NetOps labor shortage ...
Technology management is evolving, and in turn, so is the scope of FinOps. The FinOps Foundation recently updated their mission statement from "advancing the people who manage the value of cloud" to "advancing the people who manage the value of technology." This seemingly small change solidifies a larger evolution: FinOps practitioners have organically expanded to be focused on more than just cloud cost optimization. Today, FinOps teams are largely — and quickly — expanding their job descriptions, evolving into a critical function for managing the full value of technology ...
Enterprises are under pressure to scale AI quickly. Yet despite considerable investment, adoption continues to stall. One of the most overlooked reasons is vendor sprawl ... In reality, no organization deliberately sets out to create sprawling vendor ecosystems. More often, complexity accumulates over time through well-intentioned initiatives, such as enterprise-wide digital transformation efforts, point solutions, or decentralized sourcing strategies ...
Nearly every conversation about AI eventually circles back to compute. GPUs dominate the headlines while cloud platforms compete for workloads and model benchmarks drive investment decisions. But underneath that noise, a quieter infrastructure challenge is taking shape. The real bottleneck in enterprise AI is not processing power, it is the ability to store, manage and retrieve the relentless volumes of data that AI systems generate, consume and multiply ...
The 2026 Observability Survey from Grafana Labs paints a vivid picture of an industry maturing fast, where AI is welcomed with careful conditions, SaaS economics are reshaping spending decisions, complexity remains a defining challenge, and open standards continue to underpin it all ...
The observability industry has an evolving relationship with AI. We're not skeptics, but it's clear that trust in AI must be earned ... In Grafana Labs' annual Observability Survey, 92% said they see real value in AI surfacing anomalies before they cause downtime. Another 91% endorsed AI for forecasting and root cause analysis. So while the demand is there, customers need it to be trustworthy, as the survey also found that the practitioners most enthusiastic about AI are also the most insistent on explainability ...
In the modern enterprise, the conversation around AI has moved past skepticism toward a stage of active adoption. According to our 2026 State of IT Trends Report: The Human Side of Autonomous AI, nearly 90% of IT professionals view AI as a net positive, and this optimism is well-founded. We are seeing agentic AI move beyond simple automation to actively streamlining complex data insights and eliminating the manual toil that has long hindered innovation. However, as we integrate these autonomous agents into our ecosystems, the fundamental DNA of the IT role is evolving ...
AI workloads require an enormous amount of computing power ... What's also becoming abundantly clear is just how quickly AI's computing needs are leading to enterprise systems failure. According to Cockroach Labs' State of AI Infrastructure 2026 report, enterprise systems are much closer to failure than their organizations realize. The report ... suggests AI scale could cause widespread failures in as little as one year — making it a clear risk for business performance and reliability.
The quietest week your engineering team has ever had might also be its best. No alarms going off. No escalations. No frantic Teams or Slack threads at 2 a.m. Everything humming along exactly as it should. And somewhere in a leadership meeting, someone looks at the metrics dashboard, sees a flat line of incidents and says: "Seems like things are pretty calm over there. Do we really need all those people?" ... I've spent many years in engineering, and this pattern keeps repeating ...
