In this blog post, we will run JMeter tests from code. First we will look at how we can create an IntelliJ project in Java to build a JMeter performance test. Once you understand how JMeter tests in code can be written you can start to build tests in your development code base to compliment unit tests or functional tests written by developers during the creation of application and services.

Traditionally, manual test management and automated testing generate independent quality reporting data that has to be either manually integrated in spreadsheets or programmatically via scripts and reporting tools. This process takes valuable QA time away from actual testing and can also create inconsistency and inaccuracy when reporting on release readiness due to both the lag time in combining data from both sources and general human error.

Visual regression testing is a type of regression testing to ensure that no changes to the program adversely affect the Graphical User Interface (GUI). It is also referred to as visual validation testing. Instead of focusing on the functionality of the software, it aims to validate the software’s aesthetic side. Visual regression testing verifies that all visual elements are displayed properly across all available browsers, devices, and platforms.

If you don't understand how an API works, you can't get the best out of it. That's one problem.
