cucumber-newrelic¶ ↑

Cucumber steps for verifying New Relic Application Metrics.

Usage¶ ↑

Install the gem:

gem install cucumber-newrelic

In your features/support/env.rb:

require 'cucumber/newrelic'

You can now write crazy features like this:

Feature: Response Time
  As a impatient user
  Our app should be super fast

  Background:
    Given my NewRelic license key is 'sekret'

  Scenario: Average Response time
    Given that my application is being monitored by New Relic
    Then my application's 'response time' should be less than 500 milliseconds

  Scenario: Apdex
    Given that my application is being monitored by New Relic
    Then my application's 'apdex' should be 1

Available Metrics¶ ↑

["Apdex", "Application Busy", "CPU", "Memory", "Errors", "Error Rate", "Response Time", "Throughput", "DB"]

Available Operators¶ ↑

• be greater than

• be less than

• equal OR be

• not equal OR not be

Running Cucumber Features¶ ↑

Drop your license key into config/newrelic.yml, then run ‘em like so:

cucumber features

Note on Patches/Pull Requests¶ ↑

• Fork the project.

• Make your feature addition or bug fix.

• Add cucumber features for it. This is important so I don’t break it in a future version unintentionally.

• Commit, do not mess with rakefile, version, or history. (if you want to have your own version, that is fine but bump version in a commit by itself I can ignore when I pull)

• Send me a pull request. Bonus points for topic branches.
