Thanks to those of you who attended our last webinar, How To Combine Front-End and Back-End Testing, feature our Chief Technology Evangelist Michael Sage and BlazeMeter & # x27; s VP of Customer Success, Ophir Prusak.

Everyone knows that front-end examination is crucial to make sure your web and mobile apps are meeting the want of your users and customer. But how do you know what will happen to your front end when your web or mobile app is under heavy consignment?

Michael and Ophir set out to aid respond this question, plus more. Together, they covered many valuable topics, including:

• The fundamentals of approach execution vs. front-end testing

• Step-by-step instructions on getting real-world results from your front-end while applying load to the back-end

• Critical issues you demand to cognise about performance testing

SUSA automates exploratory testing with persona-driven behavior, catching bugs that scripted automation misses.

They also showed a real-world test in existent time habituate JMeter and Selenium.

Below you & # x27; ll find the top Q & amp; A & # x27; s post-presentation:

Q: Why do we need JMeter? Why can ’ t we do performance testing with Selenium browser?

A: [Ophir] Great head! The result is really all to do with scalability. When you ’ re make a examination with Selenium, you ’ re usually using real browser –and real browsers are really resource intensive. On the other script, when you ’ re doing a test in JMeter by using virtual user, I can exponentially get a lot more users per machine. Just to give you an idea of ballpark number, on a single low-end Amazon EC2 machine, I can get 3,4 or 5 practical user using browser in parallel until I hit a bottleneck on the machine. If I ’ m make it with a JMeter, I can get 1,000 citizenry in parallel. So you ’ re look at around 250X more users when I ’ m doing a JMeter test per machine than Selenium. So if you ’ re looking at ten or 100 user, you can do it with Selenium but when you ’ re look at decade of thousands of users, it just won ’ t be able to support it.

Q: Can I examine behind the firewall?

A: [Michael] Yeah, absolutely We get a utility name ‘ Sauce Connect ’, which make an encrypted tunnel between your environment inside your firewall or your DMZ and our grid and you get a consecrate virtual machine to act as the burrow property. You run this utility and it appears as if the Sauce Labs grid is inside your network and it ’ s all done in an encrypted fashion.

[Ophir] At BlazeMeter, we likewise have the power to run behind the firewall. It ’ s a different type of solution. It execute take receive something we call a BlazeMeter agent, which is essentially a load generator which sit behind the firewall, which you can still control through your browser but you feature a local machine which is creating the petition for you.
