Question 1

How do I add my own JMeter test script to this framework?

Accepted Answer

Modify your JMeter script by adding the JSR223 Listener and Backend Listener from the demo scenario, as described in the README, to ensure compatibility with error tracing and metrics storage in InfluxDB.

Question 2

Performance testing framework vs k6 – which is better for load testing?

Accepted Answer

This framework is ideal for integrated, containerized environments with real-time Grafana dashboards, while k6 is lighter and script-based in JavaScript, better for cloud-native or CI/CD pipelines without Docker overhead.

Question 3

Can I use this framework without Jenkins for CI/CD integration?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but Jenkins is pre-configured and integral for job execution; you'd need to manually manage test runs and metrics collection, reducing the out-of-box automation benefits.

Question 4

How to customize the Grafana dashboards for new metrics?

Accepted Answer

Access Grafana at localhost:8857, edit the existing dashboards or create new ones using data from InfluxDB or Graphite, referencing the templating and variables setup outlined in the README.

Question 5

Is this framework suitable for testing mobile application performance?

Accepted Answer

Primarily designed for web applications; frontend testing uses sitespeed.io and WebPageTest for browsers, so mobile testing would require additional tools or modifications to the setup.

Question 6

What are the system requirements to run this framework smoothly?

Accepted Answer

Requires Docker installed with sufficient RAM and CPU to run multiple containers (e.g., Jenkins, Grafana, InfluxDB), and specific Windows configurations as noted in the prerequisites section.
