      You can import your JMeter tests to HCL OneTest™ Performance to run them as part of VU schedule.
    - Adding a JMeter test to an existing VU schedule
      You can add a JMeter test to an existing VU schedule to test the performance of both static and dynamic resources and web applications.
    - Converting JMeter tests to VU schedule
      You can convert a JMeter test to a VU schedule to load and test the performance of an application under test.
    - JMeter Performance report
      The JMeter performance report summarizes the validity of the run, shows the average sample response time for the requests in the test, and graphs the sample response time of each sample for a specified interval.
  - EGit integration
    EGit is an Eclipse plugin for the Git version control system. You can store your test assets in the Git repository and use EGit for the daily version control operations.
  - Integration with IBM® Engineering Test Management
    You can integrate IBM® Engineering Test Management (formerly known as IBM Rational® Quality Manager) with HCL OneTest™ Performance to initiate test runs from Engineering Test Management.

  - Testing with Maven
    Starting from V9.2.0, you can use the Maven plug-in that is provided with the testing product to run tests as part of your Maven build. Apache Maven is a software build tool based on the concept of a project object model (POM).
  - Integrating and running performance test scripts in Micro Focus ALM
    To obtain test result details, you must integrate and run performance test scripts in Micro Focus Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) by using a readily available template available in HCL OneTest™ Performance installation directory.

Converting JMeter tests to VU schedule

You can convert a JMeter test to a VU schedule to load and test the performance of an application under test.

About this task

HCL OneTest™ Performance analyzes the selected JMeter test to add the number of users and loop iteration count in the VU schedule. When you convert the JMeter test to a VU schedule, the following events occur:

The load information identified within the Thread Group nodes from the original JMeter test is examined to build a new VU schedule.
The content of each Thread Group node is extracted from the original JMeter test and copied into a new JMeter test.
The new JMeter test is then invoked by the VU schedule as an external test.

Note: The extracted JMeter test does not contain any load information such as the number of users and loop count, because the VU schedule manages all the information.

Remember:

The content of the original Thread Group is not considered during the conversion process. Therefore, if there are any loops in the JMeter Thread Group, those cannot convert into a loop element in the new VU schedule.
If you have a JMeter test with more than one Thread Group node, each Thread Group is extracted to separate the JMeter test.
If you have a complex JMeter test, you must extract the functionalities that are included in the Modules or Include controllers into another JMeter tests. You must then add those JMeter tests to a VU schedule to run it.

Procedure

Browse and select the JMeter test from the Test Navigator.
Right-click the selected test, and then click Convert to VU Schedule.
Verify that the name of the schedule is same as name of the JMeter test.
Click Finish.
The schedule editor opens.

What to do next

You must perform the following tasks:

Install JMeter on the remote agent machine and set the JMETER_HOME environment variable to the root installation folder to run the JMeter test as part of schedule. See Installing the JMeter.
Run the converted test assets against successive builds of the application under test. See Running a local schedule or test.
Analyze the test results that are recorded. See Running compound tests.
