Performance testing in continuous integration
Continuous integration (CI) is the practice of frequently merging working copies early in the developing process. Among a wide variety of testing disciplines, performance can boost development process as part of CI.
Performance tests consume lots of memory, CPU and the machine resources in general. By itself, performance is expensive. But, you can do much for free. By using JMeter as the main performance tool and continuously integrating everything on Jenkins, great results can be accomplished.
