Basic JMeter Framework Example

Below is a basic workflow for executing a JMeter test which is available on GitHub. You can paste this directly into the YAML of an existing or new test, just make sure to update the name and namespace for your environment if needed.

  • The spec.content property defines the location of the GitHub project
  • the spec.steps property defines a single step that runs the test and uploads the created reports.
