Example JMeter Maven Performance Tests

This directory contains the test artifacts required to execute the example unit performance test:

• pom.xml: Maven instruction for how the test should be run
• unittest.example.jmx: JMeter JMX file run against the individual API endpoints
• unittest.example.threadgroups.conf: Definition for the load profile for each API endpoint
• unittest.example.xml: Definition of the target SLAs for each endpoint.

To execute:

  mvn clean verify

To edit:

  mvn clean jmeter:gui

Test Types

There are two types of tests supported:

• A benchmark test, i.e. where each individual endpoint is tested sequentially, in isolation
• A load test, i.e. where each endpoint is tested concurrently, as part of a load test

By default, a benchmark test is run, unless otherwise specified using the testType command-line parameter:

mvn clean verify -DtestType=load

Environments

Switching between environments is handled through the use of the -Denv command-line parameter:

mvn clean verify -Denv=perf

Test data for the relevant environment should be placed in a subdirectory of data/

Test Data

Test data is included for the purpose of example only.
