Now that we prepare to enter winter, our developers do not need an excuse to stay at home and code new features. Plus since the weather is cool here they will not be distracted by snow. Which is why even though our latest post about new features was just 6 weeks ago, here we are again with a new batch. Oh and don't worry for them, as long as we pay them 1€ at the end of each month; it's technically not slavery!
E-commerce growth predictions estimate that the market size will likely double and even triple between 2014 and 2021. This translates to a constant need to improve user experience and performances. Privalia as a company is particularly aware of this situation.
Founded in 2006, Privalia holds short brand oriented flash sales on several markets like Brazil, Mexico, Spain and Italy. Privalia belongs to the vente-privee Group, creator and worldwide leader of flash sales concept.
There are many performance testing tools available on the market. That's great!
But, i'm sure you agree it's difficult which tool best suits your needs:
What if you could get a complete picture of all free load testing tools in one single guide?
Today, I have something that will make you feel like you have Load Testing Superpowers: 20+ Reviews of the Best Open-Source Load Testing Tools.
This blog post aims to be a collection of sample JSR223, Beanshell and other useful reusable scripts. Use them freely in your JMeter projects to leverage the power of JMeter! Reuse them in JSR223 samplers directly as is, or modify them to fit your needs.

You may have recognized the famous indie game Factorio used as the picture for this article. Factorio is best described as:
Factorio is a game in which you build and maintain factories. You will be mining resources, researching technologies, building infrastructure, automating production and fighting enemies.
Basically the goal of this game is to build a fully automated supply chain to produce a rocket to escape an hostile planet where you crashed. We may find similarities in software development. When you are a small team facing huge challenges, you know your time is precious.
At OctoPerf, we strongly believe the more you automate, the more time you can spend on tasks that really need your attention. We try to automate every single thing we can. From building cloud images to deploying a version, from testing the software to checking the code quality. This is how a compact team can have a huge throughput: delegate part of your work to routines executed by a machine.
Saving time is not the only reason to automate workflows: automation also prevents human errors. Try this yourself: make a paper ball and try to throw it in the recycle bin from 2m distance. I'm pretty sure you won't succeed all the time.
In the next coming sections, i'm going to explain the different problems we have faced and how we try to automate as much as possible.
