XL Release BlazeMeter Plugin

Preface

This document describes the functionality provide by the xlr-blazemeter-plugin

Overview

This module offers a basic interface to BlazeMeter functionality.

XL Release Scenario

BlazeMeter markets a commercial, self-service load testing platform as a service (PaaS), which is compatible with open-source Apache JMeter, the performance testing framework from the Apache Software Foundation. BlazeMeter comes with a well documented API layer with integration into a number of testing frameworks, incl. JMeter, Gatling, Selenium and Taurus. Therefore this plugin is focused on a narrow use case: single JMeter test that are specified inline the XLR task.

Design decisions on plugin scope

The current version ONLY supports a single Test run. The other type of test that is not supported currently is called a Multi Test. A Multi Test is used for distributed load testing.

Installation

1. Copy the plugin JAR file into the SERVER_HOME/plugins directory of XL Release.
2. Configure your BlazeMeter URL and API Key in Shared Configuration.

Available Tasks

Run BlazeMeter Test Case

The BlazeMeter: Run a Test task type runs a preconfigured load test. It requires you to specify the following information:

• The Api Key which identifies the user 'id:secret' associated with the project / workspace.
• The Test ID to identify the test.
• The Workspace ID for the tests / reports
• The desired polling interval to check for updates

[Optional] You can also capture the session ID for debugging purposes. This can be used to retrieve all assets remotely.
