I am thinking to put automated regression tests in place for page load times. We have few deployment scenarios and I think we could use jmeter with Jenkins/hudson integration, but I am not sure how to go about it and what are the best practices to implement it.

Can you suggest what could be the approach to implement such regression test?

Are there any better alternative if not jmeter?

    There was some good discussion on jmeter list, though no conclusion. http://jmeter.512774.n5.nabble.com/Any-suggestions-about-how-jmeter-can-be-used-to-do-regression-testing-for-page-load-times-td5718026.html – Manish Sapariya Aug 29 '13 at 08:38

You can do that either with JMeter or with Grinder.

Performance Plugin will do the trick for you:

You can also use Plot Plugin to visualize any data you want, for example you can define your own key performance metrics (KPIs).

You can find more details Plotting arbitrary data for repository.

  • I really want to use the Jenkins 'Performance Plugin', but after 20 performance builds, clicking the reports causes the server to hang at 100% CPU for more than 5 minutes, any suggestions? – dvtoever Jan 09 '14 at 15:51
  • I would suggest to use VisualVM in order to pin down problem in several seconds. Anyway, this is strange behaviour I've never seen. – Renat Gilmanov Jan 09 '14 at 16:04
