JMeter in the Cloud is a performance & load-testing platform available as a service over the Internet. It allows you to create and execute test scripts in the cloud using the popular JMeter tool. This service enables the running of load tests (consisting of thousands of concurrent virtual users) with no setup requirements. All of the included software and hardware comes pre-configured. The user is able to access and control the JMeter console from their own PC while all of the testing resources run from the cloud. The actual load will originate from numerous locations around the world (US, EU, and Asia).
JMeter in the Cloud is able to generate a variety of rich graphical reports in real-time so you can analyze and pinpoint network trouble spots. An example of a live reporting screen can be viewed in our demo section.

Pricing
JMeter in the Cloud pricing is per instance-hour from the time an instance is launched until it is terminated. Each partial instance-hour consumed will be billed as a full hour.
Each test includes a JMeter console and numerous JMeterEngine(s). A JMeter console runs on a dedicated server. A single server is used to run either one or two JMeterEngine(s), depending on the test configuration.
For example, let's consider a one hour test of 1,200 concurrent users. This test will require four JMeterEngine(s) and one console for one hour. This test is actually using five Computing Hours. The cost of this testing hour is between 15 USD to 30 USD pending on the package you have purchased.
We provide three pre-paid Computing Hours packages. Prices varies according to the number of Computing Hours included with-in each package.
| Computing Hours Package |
Price
|
|---|---|
| 20 | 120 USD |
| 100 | 500 USD |
| 500 | 1,500 USD |
After you have created an account you are required to purchase credits before running any tests. Use Buy Credits on the right hand menu to make your purchase. Once approved, these credits will appear in your account.
