Preface
Overview
NeoLoad plugin for XL release allows the users to launch NeoLoad tests, change variables before launching others tests or generate a Neotys Cloud Session.
NeoLoad launched tests can be sent to NeoLoad Web SaaS or On-Premises.
Installation
- Download NeoLoad plugin from the release folder.
- Please refer to How to install an XL Release plugin
Tasks
The plugin has 3 different tasks.
Launch Test
Launch Test task allows the user to trigger a NeoLoad loading test on a remote machine (Windows, Linux, Mac OS). This task supports all the different ways to store NeoLoad projects:
- On a Neotys Team Server
- On a source control (SVN)
- Locally
Note: If the user has a NeoLoad Web subscription, the plugin will stream the data to the user's NeoLoad Web account (SaaS or On-Premises).
The task is failing when the SLAs of the test are not met.
The Launch Test task stores 3 report files: report.xml (required for the Trending Tile and Custom Trending Tile), report.pdf and junit.xml.
Update Variable
The Update Variable task allows the user to rewrite the runtime context of a test. The main idea behind this task is to update the project used by the "Launch Test" task by updating the reference of the System under test.
If the XL release user is deploying the application on a new environment, he will be able to pass the definition of the environment to NeoLoad through the Update Variable task.
Cloud Session
Neotys offers and manages Cloud Platforms.
The users have the ability to spin up Load Generators based on 57 different geographies (Load Generator is the component generating the load to the application). The users can run test from the expected location of the end users.
The Cloud Session task will allow XL release users to create a cloud session that would be used by the Launch Test task.
Update Variable and Cloud Session tasks are optional.
