Gatling performance test suite to showcase the GitHub action liatrio/run-gatling.

Test Folder Structure

There are many ways of structuring Gatling test suites. We believe that it is best to separate the suite by Gatling's core concepts:

• Requests

  • requests refer to HTTP requests. One could be very granular and separate requests by services or api endpoints. But one Scala Object could also hold all the requests for one specific component.

• Scenarios

  • Scenarios refer to different user scenario within an app or service. For example, add an item to a cart:
    1. Go to webapp
    2. Click on shop
    3. Click on category
    4. Click on item
    5. Click on add to cart
  • In that scenario, 5 different requests were made. Therefore, scenarios are essentially a group of requests that form a user story.

• Simulations

  • simulations are where one defines what type of performance testing is being done.
    • Regression test
    • Load Test
    • Stress Test
    • Spike Test
    • Endurance Test
  • This is where one would define SLAs, throughput, vUsers, etc.
