Introduction
JMeter is open source software, designed to load test functional behavior and measure performance. You can integrate the execution of JMeter load tests directly into your experiments.
Details
To use JMeter you need to upload your JMeter-Test-File. This can be done simply by adding a step of type "Loadtest", choose "JMeter" as Loadtest-Type and use the provided File-Upload.
Within the JMeter load test you have access to your provided parameters. You can use them in the script via e.g. ${__P(TARGET)} as shown in the attached example.jmx. The parameter DURATION is always accessible in your script, it contains the estimated total duration of your experiment, based on the duration of the other steps in seconds.
If you don't know where to start, feel free to use our example.jmx. It is a very basic script and will just perform some HTTP-Calls on a specified endpoint.

Report
If your script contains a JMeter-Listener writing a log-file, we will transfer it to the steadybit platform after the execution.
We will override the file-name to result.jtl.
Step result / Assertions
You can use jmeter assertions to control the loadtest-step-result in the platform.
We will scan the report for non empty <failureMessage>-Tags and let the step fail if there are any.
