History

BlazeMeter was originally founded in 2011 and was acquired by CA Technologies in 2016, which became a subsidiary of Broadcom Inc. in 2018.[2]  

In October 2021, BlazeMeter was acquired by Perforce as part of its application quality and testing portfolio.

BlazeMeter is also a major contributor to open-source Apache JMeter, through JMeter plugins, fixes, and documentation.

Company

In December 2011, BlazeMeter announced raising $1.2 million financing from YL Ventures.[3]

BlazeMeter provides developers with tools using the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) service that provides mobile, web application, website, web service, or database testing that can simulate thousands of users[4] visiting a website simultaneously.[5]

BlazeMeter can be extended with a series of custom plug-ins. BlazeMeter provides a free plugin to JMeter,[6] a Drupal module,[7] and a Jenkins CI plugin and Vegeta program[8] for load testing.

In 2012, BlazeMeter was selected by CRN as an "Emerging Cloud Computing Vendor" for 2012[9] and "One of the 25 Coolest Emerging Vendors For 2012" by CRN and UBM Channel.[10]

In August 2012, BlazeMeter announced a partnership with Acquia[11] a commercial open-source software company providing products, services, and technical support for the open source Drupal content management system.[12]

In May 2013, BlazeMeter was named one of the top testing tools by Dr. Dobbs 'Jolt Awards: The Best Testing Tools.'[13]

The company was acquired by CA Technologies in September 2016.[14] In 2021, it was acquired by Perforce.[15]
