The tests are written as JUnit tests. They can be developed and executed as usual in your IDE. However, they are not run as unit tests during a mvn test. Instead, to execute the performance tests Apache JMeter and the chronos-jmeter-maven-plugin is used.
To allow performance testing of different Hibernate Validator versions there are multiple profiles configured. Choosing a profile executes the tests against the specified Hibernate Validator version. The defined profiles are:
- hv-5.0 (Hibernate Validator 5.0.0-SNAPSHOT)
- hv-4.3 (Hibernate Validator 4.3.0.Final)
- hv-4.2 (Hibernate Validator 4.2.0.Final)
- hv-4.1 (Hibernate Validator 4.1.0.Final)
Some tips before you start:
- When running the test for the first time (either via the GUI or the command line), the specified JMeter version is downloaded and extracted into the performance module.
- For JMeter to execute JUnit tests they have to be copied to <jmeter_install_dir>/lib/junit. This happens automatically when chronos-jmeter:jmetergui or chronos-jmeter:jmeter is executed. After the execution the artifacts are removed.
- You need to specify a profile!
To run or configure a test via the GUI you run:
> mvn chronos-jmeter:jmetergui -P hv-5.0 &
Then open a JMeter test file from src/jmx and run the test.
The following command line will run all performance tests found under src/jmx/ (*.jmx files):
> mvn clean package chronos-jmeter:jmeter -P hv-5.0
To generate a report from the test execution run:
> mvn chronos-jmeter:jmeteroutput chronos-report:report
After the completion of the report generation open:
> open target/site/performancetest.html
The pom contains an example on how you can run the tests while attaching a profiler. You will need to uncomment and adjust the property profilingOptions and make sure it is used in the chronos-report-maven-plugin configuration.

At the moment the following tests are defined
A simple bean with a random number of failing constraints gets initalized and validated. The test is once executed with a shared ValidatorFactory and once the factory is recreated on each invocation.
Simple bean with cascaded validation ...
A number of _TestEntity_s is created where each entity contains a property for each built-in constraint type and also a reference to another TestEntity. All constraints are evaluated by a single ConstraintValidator implementation which fails a specified percentage of the validations.
