Advanced Search

BlazeMeter lets you search for performance tests, multi-tests, and reports using a variety of attributes, beyond just the test name. For example, you can:

  • Advanced Search – Search for all test runs from the last month that failed.

  • – For example, filter test runs conducted by 'User1' between 10/11/2024 and 09/01/2025.

With advanced search, you can:

  • Customize fields displayed in the results to focus on relevant data.

  • Export results to a CSV file for sharing or further analysis outside BlazeMeter.

You can search by the following attributes and their combinations (with an AND relationship):

  • Cloud Provider

  • Create Date

  • Created By

  • Duration

  • Locations

  • Number Of Engines

  • Project

  • Run Date

  • Tags

  • Update Date

  • Users

  • Workspaces

Use Advanced Search

  • The order of filters on the screen matches the order in which the filters were selected.
  • Textual searches are not case sensitive.
  • By default, results are sorted by Update Date for tests and Run Date for reports, both descending and with latest results at the top. To sort by any of the columns displayed, click he column header.
  • Your search preferences (selected filters, columns, sorting) are saved in the browser for future use.

  • The relationship between the filters is always AND; for example, Created By = current user AND Create Date = this month

  • The relationship between values within each (multi-select) filter is always OR; for example, Cloud Provider = (Google OR Amazon)

  • The same filter can be added multiple times to create an AND relationship between its values; for example, Tags = Demo AND Tags = Iteration 1.1

Follow these steps:

  1. In BlazeMeter, go to the Performance tab.

  2. In the Search box, click More Search Options.

  3. From the Add Filter drop-down list, select attributes for filtering.

  4. For each selected filter, a new drop-down menu appears. Expand it and specify your selection. For example:

    Choose a Create Date range.

    filter create date

    Select one or more Cloud Providers:

    filter cloud provider

    Select one or more available locations:

    filter locations

    By default, the results show the following columns:
    Tests, Multi-Tests - Name, Type, Project, Locations, Users, Created By, Create date, Update date.
    Reports - Name, Type, Project, Locations, Users, Executed by, Run date.

    You can see reports that are currently running - they have a Stop Test sign next to them.
  5. (Optional) To edit columns, click the Edit Columns button in the top right corner.

  6. (Optional) Click the test (or multi-test or report) name to navigate to that particular test (or multi-test or report).
    You will be taken to the test detail page.
  7. (Optional) Run a test, a multi-test, or re-run a report from the search results. Hover over the test and in the Actions column, click Run Test or Stop Test.

Refine Search Results

BlazeMeter provides search filtering capabilities that allow you to refine results by requiring all selected values to match in multi-selection filters, such as Tags. This feature helps you locate a very specific set of test runs or reports.

You can select the same filter multiple times, with each instance using a different value. This creates an AND relationship, narrowing the results to include only items matching all selected values.

Refining search results:

  • Enables more precise filtering for detailed test and report analysis.
  • Streamlines the process of finding specific results that match multiple criteria.
  • Avoids sifting through irrelevant test runs that only match one of the tags.

This feature is particularly useful for teams managing extensive test data, as it simplifies the identification of tests and reports relevant to complex requirements. This saves time and ensures they analyze only the data they need to make informed decisions about test performance and coverage.

Steps

To apply multiple filters:

  1. In BlazeMeter, navigate to the Performance tab.
  2. In the search bar, click More search options.
    • Alternatively, access Advanced Search from the Tests or Reports drop-down menus.
  3. Click Add Filter and select the filter you want to apply (for example, Tags).
  4. Select a value for the filter from the dropdown.
  5. Add the same filter again with a different value.
  6. View the refined results in the search table.

Example

A tester is tasked with analyzing performance test results that meet multiple specific criteria. They want to identify all test runs tagged with both "Release 1.1" (to focus on a specific product version) and "Flights App" (to narrow the results to a particular application or module).

They add the Tags filter twice, selecting Release 1.1 in one instance and Flights App in the other.

The results display only those items tagged with both values:
