Hi, I’m in the process of defining requirements and architecture for a company-internal performance framework controller. That controller should do something like:
* Manage a number of test templates for different web services, where each test template is a parameterised something that can be instantiated and run against some specific server and using some specific configuration. * Execute test runs * Collect metrics from tested applications * Store the results for a longish time, so that we can trace performance changes We have a large number of JMeter test scripts that we’ve been using for performance testing of the various services to date, so we want to continue using them. I would like to have a fairly tight integration between the framework and a JMeter load generator, and I was thinking that it might be possible to connect to a jmeter-server process in a similar way to how the JMeter GUI/master does it. But doing it programmatically rather than using the GUI. Is that a possibility? I haven’t been able to find anything about that in the documentation, so I guess even if it may be possible, it might not be “supported behaviour” in future releases. The option of starting a remote shell and executing JMeter in headless mode feels a bit less appealing. Any ideas about this? Thanks, Petter
