Remember that this post is not about why we should automate our functional tests. It is also not about technical details of writing tests in any particular programming language or by using any particular framework.Initial investigations Before we start writing any code we should think about best possible technical solution. The goal of this article is not to encourage using any specific framework or library. However, some crucial aspects should be considered here. First of all, we should think about o...
Modelling load distribution One of the challenges we face during the performance test design is determining the load we should use. By the load here, I mean a number of concurrent users performing certain actions in System Under Test (SUT). Obviously, depending on the type of performance test applied, the load will alter, as we are testing system in search of different class of problems. This article attempts to describe the case in which we will try to simulate the anticipated high traffic in t...
