Plonesocial Funkload

This installation is used for black-box (from the outside) http testing of plonesocial.

WARNING

Do not install this package in your production site. This opens a security hole.

This product is intended for testing development installations only!

Functionality provided:

• recording of tests
• executing functional tests
• executing load tests

Not every functional test can be parallelized safely into a load test.

INSTALLATION

See Makefile.

System dependencies: gnuplot.

Additional dependencies: tcpwatch.

Alternatively, use the provided docker.io:

# compile the docker container
make docker-build

# enter the docker container
make docker-run

# run the buildout
make

RUNNING THE BENCH

The installation step above provides you with a Plone build. Start Plone:

bin/instance start

Create a Plone site. Install the 'PloneSocial Microblog' add-on.

You now have a @@microblog_funkload helper view.

firefox http://localhost:9050/Plone/@@microblog_funkload

Run the bench:

gyst@sirius:plonesocial.funkload$ cd tests
gyst@sirius:tests$ make all

Finally, point your browser at the ./tests/reports/ directory to read the results of the various benches. YMMV.

DEVELOPMENT

See separate Makefile in ./tests/

Recording of tests:

# start plone

# record a testsuite

gyst@athena:~/plonesocial.funkload$ cd tests/ gyst@athena:~/plonesocial.funkload/tests$ ./record anon_readonly

# configure your browser to use localhost:8091 as proxy # disable all browser caching

# 1) do your browser session

# 2) ^C to break the test recorder

# 3) edit the new test suite:

# remove all external URL calls

# 4) test and re-edit until it works:

../bin/fl-run-test test_AnonReadonly.py

# 5) add the test suite to the Makefile test target

# 6) if applicable: add the new suite to the Makefile bench target:

../bin/fl-run-bench -c1:2:5 ./test_AnonReadonly.py AnonReadonly.test_anon_readonly

# 7) clean up the development test output (in /tests/ !):

gyst@athena:~/plonesocial.funkload/tests$ make clean

# 8) add and commit new testsuite to git:

git add .
git commit -a -m 'new test suite: anon_readonly'
