OctoPerf Maven Plugin

The OctoPerf Maven Plugin let's you run JMeter JMX scripts at scale on OctoPerf Saas or On-Premise platform.

OctoPerf Maven plugin has multiple advantages:

CI Integration: most Continuous Integration servers (like Jenkins, Bamboo or TravisCI just to name a few) fully support Maven,
Versioning: version your JMeter scripts (like Github), and run them directly from your CI server.

The maven plugin is distributed via OctoPerf Maven Repository hosted on GitHub.

Current version: 2.3.0

Goals Overview

The OctoPerf plugin has the following goals:

octoperf:wipe-project: Deletes all virtual users, files and scenarios within the project,
octoperf:import-jmx: Imports JMeter JMX Project along with resource files (like csvs etc.) on OctoPerf platform,
octoperf:import-scenario: Imports scenario.json on OctoPerf platform,
octoperf:execute-scenario: Executes the scenario with the specified name (or the previously imported scenario if no name specified).

System Requirements

The following specifies the minimum requirements to run this Maven plugin:

Name	Description
Maven	3.0
JDK	11
Memory	No minimum requirement.
Disk Space	No minimum requirement.

Mandatory Parameters

There are a number of things you need before getting started:

Name	Description
OctoPerf API Key	Login on OctoPerf `Account > Profile`, and copy the API key.
Workspace Name	Name of the workspace where to run the test.
Project Name	Name of an empty project where to run the test.

Depending on the goal you plan to use, additional parameters may be required.

Other Examples

Import and Execute JMX

To import and run a JMX script, you need to provide:

The JMX script,
The resource files,
The scenario.json containing the scenario to execute.

Then run the command:

mvn octoperf:wipe-project octoperf:import-jmx octoperf:import-scenario octoperf:execute-scenario

This will:

Wipe the project virtual users, resource files, http servers and scenarios,
Import the JMX and resource files which in turn creates the virtual user scripts on the platform,
Import the scenario JMX which defines the virtual user scripts to run,
Launch the scenario previously imported.
