How to Get Value From JMeter & Other Open Source Tools - A 360° View

Join us for two interactive sessions on getting value from open source tools - from both an entrepreneurial and a practical performance testing perspective.

How We Built a (Profitable) Business Around Open Source Tools
Vitali Bykhovsky
6:45-7:15pm

Building a profitable business around an open source community comes with its own unique challenges - but that’s exactly what Vitali Bykhovsky took on in 2012 when he co-founded BlazeMeter.

In this talk, he will take you through the technical and business challenges, setbacks, achievements, and lessons learnt so far. He’ll be covering how and why the team:

• Developed a Minimum Viable Product (MVP)
• Built a product on top of JMeter & set differentiators
• Built a partnership with the Open Source Community (JMeter Plugins/XMPP etc.)
• Brought its offering to the enterprise
• Has now developed its own open source tool

How to Simplify Load Testing: JMeter and Beyond
Andrey Pokhilko
7:35-8:35pm
(Presentation will be in English)

Load testing with JMeter and other open source tools can be easier than you ever imagined.

In this hands-on session, JMeter expert Andrey Pokhilko (founder of JMeter-Plugins.org and core JMeter contributor) will show you how to simplify your testing processes with the new open source automation tool called “Taurus”. Join us and learn how to:

• Get a clear overview of the entire load testing process - from preparation to post-analysis
• Start with simple Taurus tests based on JMeter
• Seamlessly switch from JMeter into other tools
• Configure preferences for personal efficiency
• Obtain reliable and insightful reports
• Scale your testing and integrate it with the Jenkins CI tool
• Use modularity and extensibility - if you’re ready for it

Plus, he’ll be sharing some news first-hand from the JMeter and Plugins’ world.

Both sessions will include time for Q&A.
