Load testing using a URL-based test and Apache JMeter

Once we have deployed our application in Azure App Services successfully, we can perform load testing on Azure App Service or Azure Web Apps. Let's see how we can use VSTS to perform testing.

URL-based test

In the top menu bar, click on Test and then click on Load tests. Let's create our first test in VSTS and execute it:

 

1. Click on +New and select URL based test:

2. Verify the HTTP method and URL:

3. Click on Settings and provide inputs in different parameters based on need:

4. Click on Save and click on Run test:

5. Load testing is in progress:

6. Verify the complete test data as and when it is available in the VSTS portal:

7. Verify the final summary of URL-based test execution in VSTS:

8. We will also get the Performance and Throughput charts after the test execution in VSTS:

9. Verify Tests and Errors related details too:

We have seen how the URL-based test can be performed on Azure web application. In the next section, we will cover how to use Apache JMeter for load...
