emulate a new user arriving at the application every second, for 5 seconds

config: target: "http://localhost:3000" phases: - duration: 5 arrivalRate: 1 scenarios:

• flow:
  • get: url: "/slow"
  • get: url: "/fast" =============================

Another more complete example

config: target: "http://localhost:3600" phases: # Every 5 sec 1 user arrives for 60s - duration: 10 arrivalRate: 5 name: Warm up # Every 5 sec 50 users arrives for 120s - duration: 10 arrivalRate: 5 rampTo: 50 name: Ramp up load # Every 50 sec 50 users arrives for 120s - duration: 10 arrivalRate: 50 name: Sustained load payload: # Load search keywords from an external CSV file and make them available # to virtual user scenarios as variable "keywords": path: "keywords.csv" fields: - "keywords" scenarios:

We define another scenario:

• name: "Healthcheck" flow:
  • get: url: "/health"

  Pause for 3 seconds:

  • think: 3

  Add product to cart:

  • post: url: "/cart" json: productId: "{{ id }}"

We define one scenario:

• name: "Search and buy" flow:
  • post: url: "/search" body: "kw={{ keywords }}"

    The endpoint responds with JSON, which we parse and extract a field from

    to use in the next request:

    capture: json: "$.results[0].id" as: "id"

  Get the details of the product:

  • get: url: "/product/{{ id }}/details"

  Pause for 3 seconds:

  • think: 3

  Add product to cart:

  • post: url: "/cart" json: productId: "{{ id }}"
