We know it's unhealthy to compare yourself to others.
In particular since it is the time for new year's resolutions and this looks like a good candidate.
There's even a famous quote that states:
Comparison is the thief of joy.
- Theodore Roosevelt
But sadly, tests results in OctoPerf won't get this chance.
Now you can compare up to 4 test results in OctoPerf!
We've also improved our UI again to make a better use of the space available.
When running a protocol based load test with JMeter, it is always a challenge to make sure the server responses are correct.
The default validation is only done on HTTP response codes based on their value:
OK < 400 <= KO
And since 4XX and 5XX HTTP response codes are error messages it makes sense.
But it's easy to understand why this is not enough.
Before revealing the secrets behind every successful business idea to you, let's first dive into the story of some of the most successful business men who bootstraped their companies.
Philip Knight, originating from Oregon, is a runner. He deeply embraces this sport since he is young. Running six miles a day, he enjoys the relaxation you feel when completing a new milestone. The endorphins build up in your body, giving you this joyful sensation of being completely relaxed and safe. Philip is the creator of Nike, one of the most successful sports shoe (and now sportswear) company.
Philip is a shoe dog: someone who is literally obsessed by shoes. His coach Bowerman, who cofounded Nike, formerly Blue Ribbon, with him is also a shoe dog. Bowerman likes to spend countless hours designing and improving existing shoes to improve his runners performances. As Philip is a runner, and Bowerman a runner coach, both are deeply connected to the runners world. They know the pain it can be to run with inappropriate shoes.
Philip later went to Japan, after backpacking around the world for more than a year, to visit a Japanese factory located in Onitsuka. He discovered there, in Kobe, one of the most advanced japanese running shoe, named the Tiger. He decides to talk to the factory owner about importing those shoes to the United-States. Nike is now a 30 billion dollars business.
Do you see where we are heading to? Probably not yet, but you're already half on the way. Let's talk about smaller success story.
