Mock Services and API monitoring help us reduce cycle times, but MQ protocol and JDBC are needed

One problem, while we are executing a test, is that it will take some time to download data. Let's say I'm performance testing with a high-end load configuration. It takes a minimum of three minutes or so to start the test itself. That's the bad part of the performance testing. I don't think they can reduce that time because that's the functionality they have implemented in our BlazeMeter performance testing. But it's a pain point whenever we are running performance testing in a call or a demo, as well as in our live testing when all the business people are there. The first time I run a given test, if it takes three minutes to download onto my server that's understandable. But every time I rerun the same test, it is downloaded again, because once the test is completed the files that were downloaded are removed. That means I have to wait for three to four minutes again. We also had a call last week regarding secret keys. In JMX we have some Backend Listeners, such as Kibana, and there are usernames and passwords for them that we have to manually enter. When we upload the JMX file into BlazeMeter for performance testing, the usernames and passwords are viewable. Anyone who has access to BlazeMeter can download the JMX file and the usernames and passwords are visible to all those people. That's an issue with the performance testing. Also, all the competitors have MQ protocol support, which is lacking in BlazeMeter's Mock Services. Having MQ protocol support in the Mock Services would be great for us. JDBC, the database communication, is also lacking. If we had those things, we would be completely satisfied with BlazeMeter's Mock Services. And for the API monitoring, we are missing a data-driven approach. If, for a single API call, we have 50 to 100 test cases, there should be no need for us to create multiple steps or to duplicate the test steps. Instead, if we had a data-driven approach available, we could directly add the test data into an Excel sheet and call it into the single test steps and achieve what we need to do. We have raised this concern to the Perforce team as well, and they said they are working on it.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"It supports any number of features and has a lot of tutorials."

"The orchestration feature is the most valuable. It's like the tourist backend component of BlazeMeter. It allows me to essentially give BlazeMeter multiple JMeter scripts and a YAML file, and it will orchestrate and execute that load test and all those scripts as I define them."

"Using cloud-based load generators is highly valuable to us, as we can test from outside our network and increase load generation without having to upscale our hardware as much. The cloud load generator is there when we need it and is the feature we leverage the most."

"I really like the recording because when I use the JMeter the scripting a lot of recording it takes me a lot of time to get used to. The BlazeMeter the recording is quick."

"They have good support documentation and when we have contacted them, they helped to guide us."

"For me, the best part is that we can graphically see the test result at runtime. It helps us understand the behavior of the application during all stages of the test."

"The solution offers flexibility with its configurations."

"BlazeMeter can be used for both API and performance testing, it is a multi-facility tool."

More BlazeMeter pros

"I am impressed with the product's script test."

"The tool's most valuable feature is Tosca Commander."

"What I find valuable is that Tricentis is always refining the test methodology. They listen to feedback from the analysts about what the testing tool should do, and then Tricentis always implements it. So all the necessary testing functions are already implemented in their tools."

"We can also create customized functions. For example, if something isn't supported in Tricentis Tosca Commander, we can create our own function to integrate it with Tosca Commander, so we can utilize it and integrate with the macros."

"The automation engine is very strong, and it is very competitive in the market in terms of features. They develop a lot of features."

"Tricentis Tosca is well integrated with other products like Jira."

"The reporting is really nice."

"The most valuable features of Tricentis Tosca are the ease of use, you do not need to program if you do not want to."

More Tricentis Tosca pros

Cons

"We encountered some minor bugs, and I would like to have the ability to add load generators to workspaces without having to use APIs. We can't do that now, so we're beholden to the APIs."

"Having more options for customization would be helpful."

"From a performance perspective, BlazeMeter needs to be improved...BlazeMeter has not found the extensions for WebSockets or Java Applet."

"Version controlling of the test cases and the information, the ability to compare the current version and the previous version within Runscope would be really nice. The history shows who made the changes, but it doesn't compare the changes."

"BlazeMeter has room for improvement in terms of its integration with GitLab, particularly in the context of CI/CD processes. While it has multiple integrations available, the level of integration with GitLab may need further enhancements. It is known to work well with Git and Jenkins, although the extent of compatibility with GitLab is uncertain."

"BlazeMeter needs more granular access control. Currently, BlazeMeter controls everything at a workspace level, so a user can view or modify anything inside that workspace depending on their role. It would be nice if there was a more granular control where you could say, "This person can only do A, B, and C," or, "This user only has access to functional testing. This user only has access to mock services." That feature set doesn't currently exist."

"The only downside of BlazeMeter is that it is a bit expensive."

"The seamless integration with mobiles could be improved."

More BlazeMeter cons

"The product needs to improve its pricing. It also needs to improve the infrastructure and DEX agent setup."

"In Tosca, I see that there are no user guides."

"The reporting function was lacking in usability and detail."

"The document object model or some aspects of it has a bit of a learning curve."

"The Test Management options are still weak - improvement is outlined, but not yet visible. I"

"There have been some setbacks because of upgrades. While Tosca has been around for a while, Tricentis has catered to smaller clients and I don't think they have done such a large, at-scale transition or transformation before or worked with a company like ours, which is doing an enterprise-wide transformation. When we go to their customer advisory-board meetings, upgrades have been an issue. They have been working a lot to make upgrades seamless."

"The source controls that are in Tricentis Tosca have some problems. For example, if you use Selenium or use Java-based application, it's easy to match code from two developers. However, if you're a developer and going to look at Tricentis Tosca, it's very difficult to use the source control measure."

"While the initial setup was straightforward, we required assistance with the configuration to ensure that everything was done correctly."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"When compared with the cost of the licenses of other tools, BlazeMeter's license price is good."

"My company has opted for a pay-as-you-go model, so we don't make use of the free version of the product."

"It is an averagely priced product."

"It's consumption-based pricing but with a ceiling. They're called CVUs, or consumption variable units. We can use API testing, GUI testing, and test data, but everything gets converted into CVUs, so we are free to use the platform in its entirety without getting bogged down by a license for certain testing areas. We know for sure how much we are going to spend."

"The licensing fees are billed on a monthly basis and they cost approximately $100 for the basic plan."

"The overall product is less costly than our past solutions, so we've absolutely saved money."

"The solution is free and open source."

"The pricing is manageable. It is not that big. Big companies won't mind the licensing costs."

More BlazeMeter pricing and cost advice

"I give the cost of Tricentis Tosca a six out of seven."

"Tricentis Tosca is an expensive solution and there is an annual license required. The whole licensing process is confusing and it could be made easier."

"The pricing is high, but altogether it offers you the ability to automate all sorts of applications: desktop, web, mobile, etc."

"Pricing could be better."

"We have around 200 [concurrent] licenses and the cost around $1.4 million a year."

"The price of Tricentis Tosca is approximately Є10,000 for one license. However, it used to be much cheaper, but they changed their license structure. It used to be a structure where if you bought a license you would receive one year of free support and maintenance. Now they only have a yearly license, and that is expensive."

"I am satisfied with the cost."

"The licensing cost for Tricentis Tosca is expensive. It has multiple features, but to use all of its features, you have to pay for additional licenses."
