# Collaborative JMeter Testing

Performance Tester Teams struggle to share their work when using JMeter. 
Sharing JMeter projects can be a tedious task. 
**OctoPerf solves this issue by allowing Teams to share their load tests**.

**Workspaces** allow teams to share JMeter projects (Virtual Users, Scenarios and test reports). 
A Workspace is a collection of projects accessible by one or more people with different rights.

Workspace members have different rights depending on their role:

* _Administrators_ has access to everything,
* _Testers_ can do anything except managing the workspace members,
* _Viewers_ can only view the content of a workspace.

OctoPerf becomes a **JMeter Performance Center** for QA Testing Teams who want to scale.



## Configuring Workspaces

Workspaces are accessible by using the drop-down menu located on the upper right corner.

Simply switch from one workspace to another by selecting it. 
One user can be member of multiple workspaces, like a Team manager who needs to keep an eye on his teammates work.

## Create a Workspace

Once on the Administration page, **adding a workspace is straightforward**. 
Click on the big _+_ button, give it a name and a description, then click on _Save_.

## Configuring Members

To add a workspace member:

**Enter the email address of one of your colleagues in the _Add member_ field**, then click on the _+_ button. 
Only existing user accounts can be invited as member of the workspace. 
Each member has a defined role.

## Conclusion
 
Workspaces makes it easier for QA teams to share their performance tests. 
In our continuous effort to democratize performance testing and make it affordable, we always seek to deliver **enterprise grade features** asked by prospects and customers at **bargain price**!
