A new chapter in the realm of Load Testing

Good News!! Microsoft Azure Cloud has made Azure Load Testing generally available and if don't understand what "generally available" means, then it seems to be good time brush your basics for Microsoft Azure Cloud . I can recommend and the best link for this is YouTube video series for AZ-900 by Adam Marczak

Advantages for Azure Load Testing:-

• Simplified, cloud-based load-testing service with high-fidelity support for Apache JMeter
• Comprehensive view of curated client and server metrics with actionable insights into app performance
• Integration with CI/CD workflows for automated, collaborative load testing

Assuming you've done your part, so let's continue. To load test a website using an existing JMeter script in Azure Load Testing, you need to follow these steps:

1. Create an Azure DevOps organization: If you do not have one, create one using the Azure DevOps portal.
2. Upload the JMeter script to Azure DevOps: Use the Azure DevOps Repos service to upload the script to a Git repository.
3. Create a load test project in Azure DevOps: Use the Azure Test Plans service to create a new load test project.
4. Configure the load test: In the Azure Test Plans portal, specify the details of the load test, such as the test script location, number of virtual users, and the test duration.
5. Start the load test: Use the Azure Test Plans portal to start the load test. The portal will display results and performance statistics for the website as the test runs.
6. Analyze the results: Review the performance results of the website under load, including response times, number of requests per second, and any errors or failures.

Note: Before running the load test, it is recommended to perform a dry run of the JMeter script to ensure that it runs correctly and produces the desired results.
