JMeter Properties: Configurable Test Plans
Your company probably runs JMeter test plans on a regular basis. Tests constantly need to be adjusted to change settings like concurrent users or test duration. Editing the JMX is time consuming and error prone.
It's painful, especially if you run test using Continuous Integration as part of a Shift-Left strategy. Thankfully, there is a way!
Let me guide you through all the options to design flexible JMeter test plans using configurable properties.
Why Configurable Tests
JMeter performance test plans are now commonly being executed throughout the development lifecycle as part of:
- pipelines to focus on a particular service or user journey,
- Isolated component testing as part of development activities,
- And agile Shift-Left performance testing: testing earlier during the development cycle.
