Loadtest Bamboo deploy package on Atlassian Marketplace
This package has been tested with Bamboo version 6.8.
Overview
The LTP Atlassian Bamboo plugin makes it possible to run automatic load tests as part of a build process. It starts and monitors a load test from start to finish and presents some statistics at the end.
The plugin can be executed against the ALT Enterprise (Production) environment.
You will need the following elements:
- your ALT API auth key (available from ALT)
- a loadtest preset
- a load test script name such as “myscenario.class” or “myfile.zip”
