TDM (Test Data Management) Find & Reserve Models let Testers search for data that matches their requirements across distributed data sources, and reserve it exclusively for their use. This blog post is a tutorial for Test Data Management users who want to set up their Find & Reserve (F&R) models from their TDM Servers with BlazeMeter. Let’s get started!

What is a TDM server? 

A TDM server is a solution for the automated preparation and analysis of large amounts of data in various formats and structures.  Combining many server components for automated management and background data processing.

• Existing Find & Reserve models in the TDM Portal under Tester Self-Service
• A virtual machine as an agent that is reachable by BlazeMeter and the TDM server
• A configured TDM connection in the BlazeMeter Settings with valid credentials and a private location agent.
• Note: The Windows Agent cannot be used for TDM Integration. Only Unix Agents are supported. 
• The Reserve Feature is currently NOT available from BlazeMeter and should be activated from the TDM Portal.
