An offline tester to validate your custom Python RedLine13 Load Test.

Quick Start

git clone https://github.com/redline13/harness-custom-test-python.git
cd harness-custom-test-python
python setup.py install

The project has a couple dependencies which should be installed with the command above. Alternatively they can be installed with pip

• bs4
• pycurl

Specify test on Command Line

• python run_load_test.py example_test.py
• python run_load_test.py example_test
  • This opens module example_test.py and looks for a subclass of LoadTestingTest

Specify configuration in loadtest.ini

You can also specify configuration data in loadtest.ini which is read in and provided to your class as a dict from self.get_ini_settings()

# used in sample load test to define iterations
iterations=4
# can define test to run example_test or example_test.py
classfilename=example_test

• python run_load_test.py

Examples Provided

• CustomLoadTest, custom_load_test.py
  • Simple URL which does echo
• ExampleTest, example_test.py
  • Loops 100 times with random wait, each loop is a recorded as URL and overall a PAGE
• FormLoadTest, form_load_test.py
  • Gets data from a webpage, finds a form, and submits that form with data
• LoginLoadTest, login_load_test.py
  • Submits a login form (to use see code, need to add in data)
• SimpleLoadTest, simple_load_test.py
  • Hits a URL, parses for other endpoints (JS, CSS) and times those as well

Simulating inputs for test

Modify loadtest.ini with parameters, in your custom test you can access settings via get_ini_settings. The object is a dict

from load_testing_test import LoadTestingTest
import record_helpers
import time
import random


class ExampleTest(LoadTestingTest):

    def start_test(self):
        """ Start test """

        # Example getting information from Config Dict
        config = self.get_ini_settings()
        iterations = 1
        if config.has_key( 'iterations' ):
            iterations = int(config.get( 'iterations', 1 ))

        start_user_time = time.time()

        for x in range(1, iterations):
            start_time = time.time()
            time.sleep(random.randint(2, 5))
            diff = time.time() - start_time
            record_helpers.record_load(x, start_time, diff)

        end_user_elapsed = time.time() - start_user_time
        record_helpers.record_load_time( "Overall", start_user_time, end_user_elapsed)

        return True

Output

The load test will generate local information on performance results and errors.
