July 2025

The following pages provide information on BlazeMeter releases from July 2025.

Release July 20, 2025

​Browser-based Performance Testing

Now Available for All Enterprise Customers.

BlazeMeter’s Browser-Based Performance Testing is now generally available for all Enterprise plans as of July 20.

This powerful capability allows you to run performance tests using real browsers, with no need to write or maintain JMeter scripts. It is ideal for:

  • Applications with dynamic or unpredictable UIs, such as Salesforce-style platforms

  • Teams that lack access or time to maintain scripted test flows

  • Quickly simulating realistic browser traffic using a UI-driven approach

  • Organizations seeking a modern alternative to LoadRunner TruClient

You can define test scenarios in three ways:

  • Record a flow using the BlazeMeter Chrome Extension

  • Build manually using intuitive Actions and Groups

  • Upload a YAML-Selenium script generated by BlazeMeter’s ShiftLeft Converter or Chrome Extension

Availability and Usage:

  • Feature is automatically enabled for all Enterprise accounts

  • Browser-based usage is billed at 1 virtual user = 100 variable units, based on your existing plan

API Monitoring

In this release, API Monitoring includes the following enhancements:

Delete tests directly from the Dashboard

You can now delete tests without opening individual test settings. From the Dashboard, click the trash icon next to any test to remove it permanently. This also deletes the associated test history, making test management faster and more efficient.

Script-based assertions now counted and displayed

Post-response script assertions are now included in all standard validation workflows. They will:

  • Appear in the total assertion count in the UI, API, and email notifications

  • Be visible in the Assertions section of test result pages

  • Provide a complete and accurate view of validation coverage, whether defined via UI or code

New Bucket creation options for greater control

You now have more flexibility when creating a new Bucket. During creation, you can:

  • Mark the Bucket as Private, if your role permits it

  • Require the Bucket name to be unique across your workspace

These options are available as checkboxes beneath the Bucket name field, allowing more secure and consistent setup from the start.

Release 2.7_FY25

See what's new in BlazeMeter 2.7_FY25, released on July 6, 2025.

​Service Virtualization

In this release, Service Virtualization includes the following enhancements:

Messaging support for ActiveMQ Classic & ActiveMQ Artemis

BlazeMeter Service Virtualization now supports ActiveMQ Classic and ActiveMQ Artemis, expanding JMS-based messaging simulation to include two of the most widely used message brokers in enterprise environments.

Highlights include:

  • Virtualization of both JMS producers and consumers

  • Full support for Point-to-Point (Queue) and Publish-Subscribe (Topic) messaging models

  • Request/Reply support for simulating synchronous flows over asynchronous systems

  • Message recording from virtualized producers or consumers to auto-generate realistic Messaging Virtual Services

These capabilities enable comprehensive end-to-end testing of asynchronous systems without needing access to live infrastructure. They enhance test coverage, resiliency, and scalability.

Enhanced messaging configuration and connection validation

We’ve simplified Messaging Broker configuration to accelerate setup and reduce friction.

New features include:

  • A Test Connection button to validate broker connectivity before launching a Virtual Service, helping catch setup issues early

  • Support for dynamic name/value pairs in the Configurations tab, eliminating hardcoded values and improving environment flexibility

These updates promote reusable configurations and help teams maintain clean, scalable service definitions across test environments.

API Monitoring

In this release, API Monitoring includes the following enhancements:

AI Script Assistant: now converts Postman scripts

The AI Script Assistant has been enhanced to help convert Postman scripts into BlazeMeter-compatible syntax for API Monitoring.

Trained using real-world examples submitted by users, the assistant now supports most common patterns, making it easier to migrate tests and reduce manual script rewrites.

Some highly custom logic may still fall outside current support, but coverage and accuracy continue to improve rapidly.

DNS errors now reported as custom status code (50000)

To improve visibility and automation, DNS errors are now exposed as a dedicated custom status code: 50000.

This code can be used in:

  • Assertions

  • Extractions

  • Post-response scripts

This allows your tests to detect and respond to DNS issues programmatically, reducing the need for manual result inspection and increasing workflow resilience.
