Import tests instead of making duplicate copies

[Prateek Asthana <pa...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

Currently, as part of running the performance test *suite*, we are creating
a copy of the original perf *test* and placing it into the perf suite. This
is leading to redundant copies of a single perf test.

Example: We recently created a new perf test titled SingleTest.jmx to test
a new endpoint. A copy of this new test was placed in out test suite:
AllTests.jmx.

I was wondering if jmeter provides a way to import the tests instead of we
making redundant copies leading to maintenance issues.

Thanks,

Prateek

There are a few things you need in order to do what you want...

1) test fragments - test fragments are a special kind of controller designed to allow you to include external test procedures into your test plan.

2) the "include" controller - you use an "include" controller to add a test fragment stored in an external file into your test plan.

3) the "module" controller - once you include an external test fragment into your test plan, you can use it multiple times in your test plan with a "module" controller.

Read the documentation on these three things, and you should be able to get what you want.

If you want to execute the tests as part of the same test run, then look at:

http://jmeter.apache.org/usermanual/component_reference.html#Include_Controller

Otherwise, it's probably best to schedule your tests using external facilities.
