Imagine that we want to simulate that 10% of the connected users try to logout from a web site. How can i model this in gatling? I tried to use doIf with a variable it seems not to be the good way.
Use a randomSwitch to apply weights on scenario branches.

I'm starting learning automation test using selenuim webdriver & cucumber, I have tow features:
Authentification.feature
Feature: Authetification
#Test1
Scenario: Authetification (credential)
Given Open the Url
When Enter the Username and Password
Then Click connect_btn
CreateUser.feature
Feature: Create User
#Test2
Scenario: Create User
Given Open users list
When Fill the form
Then Click save_btn
How to call the authentification into CreateUser.feature ?
Thanks & Regards,Patricia
Cucumber does not support calling one feature from another feature (or one step from another step).
From the Cucumber docs - FAQ:
"How do I call other steps or scenarios?
Each scenario should be independent; you should be able to run them in any order or in parallel without one scenario interfering with another.
Each scenario should test exactly one thing so that when it fails, it fails for a clear reason. This means you wouldn’t reuse one scenario inside another scenario.
If your scenarios use the same or similar steps, or perform similar actions on your system, you can extract helper methods to do those things."
In your case, I'd recommend thinking about how to get your system to a state where a user is logged in at the start of any test where that is a precondition, without actually testing the login feature each time. That way if the login functionality breaks for any reason, you can still test other functionality of your application.
I have a an application that uses Angular for the frontend and communicates with an API running Django RF.
Now, let me try and outline what I'm trying to achieve in hopes of finding an easy solution.
When a user runs a report, a worker version of the API generates the report to prevent the main API from bogging down. The report runs for a couple seconds/minutes. The user refreshes the page and voila, their report is there.
What I'm trying to achieve is the elimination of the whole "user refreshes the page" portion of this process.
My goal is to do this via websockets.
I literally want something as simple as:
WEB: "Hey API, I want this report. I'll wait."
API: "Yo dog, you're reports done."
WEB: "Cool, let me refresh my report list. Thanks bud."
Now, we start to venture into an area I'm unfamiliar with. Websockets can do this, right? I just need to create a connection and wait for the all-clear to be sent by the worker.
Now, here's where it gets hairy.
I've spent the better part of the day going through libraries and just can't find what I need. The closest I've come is this, but it clashes with restframework. I get hit with tons of 404 errors and I think it has to do with the way rf manages urls.
I literally need a simple event listener. There's got to be a better way, right? To clarify, I don't want to do something brute-force like silently ping the API for report status. That gets a tad hinky. I want the API to tell me when it's ready.
In a basic way, can use something like django-websocket-redis and use Django signals to pass the messages around. ws4redis handles alot of the tricky bit. However, websockets are weird and honestly I doubt you need them. You could just poll some route that has the job state. If you need to get it done fast, I would go that route.
I used to do performance testing on websites mostly with JMeter scripts.
However, more and more projects are build with frontend MVC's, such as AngularJS and a current project is loading all of it's content via angular view files, REST calls etc.
Unfortunately, JMeter doesn't execute any javascript thus my load test return me the homepage in just (400ms).
In real, it actually takes several seconds to load in a browser. When I check the response data, it does not contain any data yet due to Angular.
Instead of investigating the network traffic and individually loading each component (e.g. profile.html, notification.html, REST calls etc. ). Is there a product on the market or some best case I could follow that is similar to executing JMeter scripts, but considering javascript execution and loading of external resources due to javascript?
(I am not planning to profile javascript execution times. This is still to test if the infrastructure behind is capable serving xyz simultaneous users)
Although JMeter isn't capable of executing client-side JavaScript it can record relevant requests via HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder. Once recorded you should be able to combine all the standalone requests into one "aggregate" using JMeter's Transaction Controller
If this easy approach for some reasons doesn't play for you check out How to Load Test AJAX/XHR Enabled Sites With JMeter for more options and clues.
I use Chrome dev tools to do this kind of performance tests in web apps.
I suggest you to read the Chrome Profiling docs (https://developer.chrome.com/devtools/docs/javascript-memory-profiling). All the section of Performance and Profiling in goolge documentation is really good!
You can try to use the option 'Use as Monitor' for the requests you fire up from your test.
http://jmeter.apache.org/usermanual/build-monitor-test-plan.html
They are performance killers, though. Another option is to use the listener 'Save Responses to a File' to see if the end HTML is delivered. It should not give you the ideal result but it might help.
If you want to track down performance of XHRs for a single user, you can try to play with Selenium and BrowserMob Proxy, but it is not under the stress testing, but functional testing.
You can try https://github.com/kidk/felt it is build for this specific purpose.
It uses PhantomJS/SlimerJS to generate load to a website, so you get all the API/JS/CSS and image calls you would get like in a normal browser. It is still a young project, but it might be the solution you are looking for.

I've been learning Java for more than 6 months. I'm developing a web app and learning through building it. I'm using Glassfish Server and MySql. No frameworks. Using Servlet, JSP and EJB.
Now I'm querying database through JSP page and displaying results. Is this the best way? or Should I use servlet for querying database and displaying results in JSP?
I want to display only part of the resultset object and show the remaining if the user wants to see it. So Could I implement this using jsp alone?
I would recommend usind your Servlet to handle the database-connunication only and perhaps some logging on the usage of the Connection. The logic would best be implemented in JSP alone since you can better maintenance it.
Querying database through JSP page is not the best way. And because you are not using any framework is definitely not the best way to learn. While learning you need to try as much frameworks as possible to find out which one you can use or not to use. You are also need to learn patterns for building Java EE applications.
Should I use servlet for querying database and displaying results in jsp?
This approach is much better, but is not enough because of coupling database code with servlet code.
I want to display only part of the resultset object and show the remaining if the user wants to see it. So Could I implement this using jsp alone?
What do you want to display should be coded in the servlet.
You should avoid coding your business logic codes in your JSPs. Segrate your application into multiple layers, take a look at MVC design pattern.
Model: These are plain POJO classes where your DB transaction and business logic happens.
Controller: This is where your servlets goes. These classes accept user request, call appropriate Model classes and send response to view.
View: This is you JSPs, displays data to users. Avoid using Scriptlets in your Jsps. Use JSTL and EL.
Take a quick look at this example MVC application, and do your own searching on MVC. Hope it helps you to get started.
I'm fairly new to Django and web-app development, so perhaps my question is not very well thought out.
For a new website I'm working on, I'd like to perform a set of database queries for every incoming request. I'm wondering what the best way to structure this in code would be.
To be more specific, I'd like to display a greeting (such as "Hi John,") and the status of the user's shopping cart in the header section whenever applicable. I considered creating a get_header_details helper function and calling it from every view method, but there has to be a better way to do this. Thoughts?
Also, even though I'd like to display the greeting and shopping cart status on every page, maybe I don't need to query for it on every page request. Is there a good way to do this? This is a learning project, so I'm ok with adding things to my technology stack.
For the shopping chart, middleware and a context processor coupled with sessions and preferably caching (e.g. Memcached) is the way to go.
Middleware allows you to do arbitrary actions before or after every view. A context processor allows you to insert variables into every template. The most common way to implement a shopping chart is the use of sessions, as you normally don't want to save the state of the shopping chart indefinitely by default (you can of course provide this option as a convenience feature).
As for the greeting message, use caching to prevent an extra (probably unneeded) query on every request.
Django has good caching support. Template fragment caching might be useful in your instance.
