Run JMeter Scripts as Functional Tests in AIQ

Last reviewed: September 25, 2026

Use this article when a JMeter script is being executed in AIQ for functional validation rather than load generation.

What changed in this article

• Clarified that functional JMeter runs should validate behavior, assertions, and transaction success, not virtual-user scalability.
• Added guidance to keep datasets small and expected results explicit.
• Separated functional execution from performance execution so teams do not interpret functional results as load-test evidence.

Validation workflow

1. Import or select the JMeter script and confirm assertions are present.
2. Run with a controlled user count and data set appropriate for functional validation.
3. Review output, assertions, and results before promoting the script to performance testing.

Review note: Reduced ambiguity between functional JMeter execution and performance JMeter execution.
