BlazeMeter utilizes distributed testing by enabling the execution of tests from multiple geographical locations simultaneously. This is achieved through cloud-based servers, which can be scaled up or down depending on the test requirements. The benefits include:
1. Scalability: BlazeMeter’s cloud infrastructure allows for easy scaling to simulate millions of concurrent users.
2. Realism: By distributing load geographically, it simulates real-world user behavior more accurately.
3. Flexibility: Tests can be run anytime and anywhere without needing physical hardware setup.
4. Cost-effectiveness: It eliminates the need for maintaining in-house testing infrastructure.
