gatling-seed

This project is a skeleton for performance tests with Gatling and Maven. You can use it to quickly bootstrap your Gatling test setup and development environment.

Getting started

Install the following dependencies:

• Java 8 (Java 7 will probably work, not tested though)
• Maven 3

Recording a test

To record a test, perform the following steps:

• Click through the test path in your browser
• Export the request flow as HAR file: standard available in Chrome, available as plugin in Firefox through a FireBug extension: http://www.softwareishard.com/blog/netexport/
• Add details of the HAR filename and simulation name in src/main/resources/config/gatling-recorder.json
• Generate the Gatling script: mvn clean scala:run
• The Gatling simulation will be generated in src/test/scala/simulations. Accompanying request bodies (in case of POST/PUT requests) will be in src/test/resources/request-bodies

Executing a test

To execute a test, perform:
mvn clean gatling:execute

Or, when multiple simulations present:
mvn gatling:execute -Dgatling.simulationClass=simulations.<simulationClassName>
