Performance Tests for the funding service design platform

Prerequisites

locust

Getting started

Installation

Clone the repository

Create a Virtual environment

python3 -m venv .venv

Enter the virtual environment

...either macOS using bash:

source .venv/bin/activate

...or if on Windows using Command Prompt:

.venv\Scripts\activate.bat

Install dependencies

From the top-level directory enter the command to install pip and the dependencies of the project

python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip && pip install -r requirements.txt

How to use

Enter the virtual environment as described above, then:

python -m locust

Locust config

There is a locust config file in the repository that manages how the tests are run and where they are run against. Change the values in there based on the needs of your performance testing. The host can be changed to point at a local running version of the application.

Locust HTML report

A html report is produced at the end of a run and is stored in the root of the project. This shows the results of the tests.

Adding a new performance test

To add a new performance test you need to add a py file to my_locustfiles containing the performance tests and then add an import to the base locustfile.py in the root of the directory.
