Non-interactive performance tests and reporting with JMeter

Once you have modelled your stress tests with JMeter (that's another story that deserves its own post), maybe you want to launch them in a non-interactive way from your continuous integration server.

For doing so, you just need to launch JMeter with the non-interactive mode:

./apache-jmeter-2.6/bin/jmeter.sh -t my-test-plan.jmx -l my-test-plan-2012-16-09.jtl -n

This commands launch the test plans, but the output file is XML. How could I send this as a report to the QA team or the management people?

Just launch:
xsltproc ./apache-jmeter-2.6/extras/jmeter-results-report_21.xsl my-test-plan-2012-16-09.jtl > report-2012-16-09.html

The result will be an HTML file which is rendered as the image attached.

For real time reporting and distributed jmeter tests across the globe we'd love you to try gridinit.com

After I initially left a comment I seem to have clicked on the -Notify me when
new comments are added- checkbox and now whenever a comment
is added I get four emails with the exact same comment. Perhaps there is a
means you are able to remove me from that service?

Kudos!
