JMX Import Made Complete with Scenario Configuration
When migrating from JMeter to OctoPerf, teams have always appreciated how smoothly their JMX files import into our platform. But there was one piece missing: the runtime configuration. Until now, you had to manually recreate your load profiles and scenarios after importing your scripts.
Today, we're excited to announce a feature that makes JMeter migration even smoother: the Import Scenario option. Now you can import not only your Virtual Users (the design part) but also your complete runtime configuration directly from your JMX Thread Groups.
What's New?
Previously, when you imported a JMX file into OctoPerf, only the test design was imported: HTTP requests, extractors, assertions, and all the elements that define your virtual user behavior. The runtime configuration - how many users, ramp-up periods, duration - had to be configured manually in OctoPerf's scenario editor.
The new Import Scenario option bridges this gap. Enable it during import, and OctoPerf will automatically:
- Create dedicated User Profiles for each Thread Group,
- Generate a complete scenario with all your load profiles,
- Convert Thread Group configurations into OctoPerf runtime settings,
- Apply smart defaults for geographical distribution.
