This is a template README.md. Be sure to update this with project specific content that describes your performance test project.

national-duty-repayment-center-performance-test

Performance test suite for the <digital service name>, using performance-test-runner under the hood.

Running the tests

Prior to executing the tests ensure you have:

• Docker - to start mongo container
• Installed/configured service manager

Run the following command to start the services locally:

docker run --rm -d --name mongo -d -p 27017:27017 mongo:3.6

sm --start PLATOPS_EXAMPLE_UI_TESTS -r

Logging

The template uses logback.xml to configure log levels. The default log level is WARN. This can be updated to use a lower level for example TRACE to view the requests sent and responses received during the test.

Smoke test

It might be useful to try the journey with one user to check that everything works fine before running the full performance test

sbt -Dperftest.runSmokeTest=true -DrunLocal=true gatling:test

Running the performance test

sbt -DrunLocal=true gatling:test

Run the example test against staging environment

Smoke test

sbt -Dperftest.runSmokeTest=true -DrunLocal=false gatling:test
