BlazeMeter / JMeter Implementation for Performance Testing in GCP

A global payments services company required implementation of BlazeMeter tool in Google Cloud Platform (GCP) for effective Performance Monitoring when exerting load on its critical application with global usage.

Client Challenges and Requirements

• Client required a testing solution that can provide feedback about Performance Monitoring coupled with heavy realistic user loads on the application.
• Continuous and rapidly growing user loads.
• Comprehensive reporting of bottlenecks on the server.
• Absence of benchmark results and processes.
• Lack of awareness on client end about best practices in cloud environment.

Bitwise Solution

• Creation of a comprehensive performance test plan covering a variety of parameters.
• Generation of distributed loads using BlazeMeter / JMeter focused on different regions owing to the global presence of client.
• Scalable load patterns covering Load, Stress, Endurance and Volume.
• Disaster Recovery execution plan to leverage load shift to different servers on cloud.
• Standardization of performance cadence process across multiple teams.
• Comprehensive results documentation and verdict driven sign off.
