Automating jmx files in CircleCI

Question

I have couple of jmx files which I recorded and downloaded using blazemeter plugin.

I would like to know

1. How Can I integrate to CircleCI?
2. How can

Answer 1

1. When you add a CircleCI project you have a variety of languages to choose from:

   I would recommend going for Maven(Java) as JMeter Maven Plugin is the easiest option for setting up and using out of other JMeter non-GUI execution options.

2. Organise your project structure as follows:

   • yourproject
     • .circleci
       • config.yml
     • src
       • test
         • jmeter
           • test.jmx
     • pom.xml

3. Make sure that config.yml file looks as follows:

   # Java Maven CircleCI 2.0 configuration file
   #
   # Check https://circleci.com/docs/2.0/language-java/ for more details
   #
   version: 2
   jobs:
     build:
       docker:
         # specify the version you desire here
         - image: circleci/openjdk:8-jdk
   
         # Specify service dependencies here if necessary
         # CircleCI maintains a library of pre-built images
         # documented at https://circleci.com/docs/2.0/circleci-images/
         # - image: circleci/postgres:9.4
   
       working_directory: ~/repo
   
       environment:
         # Customize the JVM maximum heap limit
         MAVEN_OPTS: -Xmx3200m
   
       steps:
         - checkout
   
         # Download and cache dependencies
         - restore_cache:
             keys:
             - v1-dependencies-{{ checksum "pom.xml" }}
             # fallback to using the latest cache if no exact match is found
             - v1-dependencies-
   
         - run: mvn dependency:go-offline
   
         - save_cache:
             paths:
               - ~/.m2
             key: v1-dependencies-{{ checksum "pom.xml" }}
   
         # run tests!
         - run: mvn verify
   
         - store_artifacts:
             path: target/jmeter/reports
   

4. Make sure your pom.xml looks like:

   
   
       4.0.0
       org.jmeter
       maven
       1.0-SNAPSHOT
       
           
               
                   com.lazerycode.jmeter
                   jmeter-maven-plugin
                   2.8.0
                   
                       
                       
                           jmeter-tests
                           
                               jmeter
                           
                       
                       
                       
                           jmeter-check-results
                           
                               results
                           
                           
                               true
                           
                       
                   
               
           
       
   
   

   4. That's it, now your build will be triggered on each commit:

5. You will be able to see HTML Reporting Dashboard in build artifacts

6. Scheduling your builds is also possible via cron-like expressions
