Is there a way to automate Jmeter to run a number of test-plans? Suppose I want to perform an experiment and run same test with single varying field one after the another, and reports saves for every test individually.
For example: perform a number of tests by varying the ramp-up time
so that I start it once and leave its for hours
and comeback to see the whole experiment is performed.
I read somewhere that ANT can be used.
I'd extract relevant variables to .properties files and execute tests passing different cfg file name every time. Jmeter.properties, user.properties, system.properties and similar are what you are looking for.
