Comparative Study of Testing Tools Blazemeter and Apache Jmeter

Abstract

Automated Testing plays a vital role in the entire development of software. Due to growing requirements of an automated testing diverse range of testing tools are available. From literature , it is observed that a number of automated testing tools are studied and compared. However , this is the first time that Apache JMeter and BlazeMeter are compared. The objective of this paper is to compare load testing tools: Apache JMeter and BlazeMeter based on the criteria such as performance, latency, size, error percent, duration count, number of hits and response time. This paper focuses on the analysis of the performance and functionality that minimizes the software cost and resources. After performing experiments, it is proved that the performance of BlazeMeter is better than Apache JMeter with respect to all parameters.

Quality Assurance of Academic Websites using Performance Testing Tools

“…To run performance tests on web application, API, or service, planning and designing tests in JMeter entails developing a clear and concise test plan. The steps that need to be followed in order to efficiently plan and create tests in JMeter include (1) Determine the test objectives (establish the precise goals for performance tests), (2) Identify test scenarios (the many situations want to test should be defined), (3) Make a plan, (4) Add test elements, (5) Configure samplers, (6) Add assertions, (7) Integrate logic controllers, (8) Set up listeners, (9) Add pre-processors and post-processors, configure thread group and test plan setting, (10) Validation and interative testing, and (11) Analyze result (utilize the different listeners to examine test results, spot performance issues, and make the required adjustments to application).…”

“…( 6) Examine the outcomes, to find any serious performance issues that can be affecting the website or web server, examine the test logs and graphs. (7) Test it one more, repeat the test, if necessary, with various scenarios or setups to learn more about the web server's performance.…”

“…The Web Server Stress Tool is a tool created specifically to evaluate a web server's durability and functionality by placing a heavy demand on it. Open-source software called Apache JMeter [5] can be used to evaluate the functionality, load, and performance of both static and dynamic resources [6], [7]. It is possible to simulate user load levels and the system's reaction to such levels thanks to the tool's many capabilities.…”
