We're providing load tests for various OX App Suite APIs and maintain simulations that correspond to specific client implementations. To use it, clone the following repository:
* Cloning Repository
 
  <code>$ git clone https://git.open-xchange.com/git/wd/testing/performance</code>
 
  
* Checkout a branch, e.g. ''develop''
 
  <code>$ git checkout develop</code>

=== Installing sbt on Mac ===
 
* [http://macports.org Macports]
 
  <code>$ port install sbt</code>
 
 
* [http://mxcl.github.com/homebrew Homebrew]

== Development Environment ==
 
If you want to execute the tests via an IDE like Eclipse or IntelliJ IDEA then you will also need to install the following software:

; host: Which host to use. ''Possible values are: '''"localhost"''', '''"10.0.0.1"''' or if you want to stress several groupware servers, to bypass a loadbalancer for example, then you can use comma-separated IPs or hostnames '''"10.0.0.1,10.0.0.2,localhost"'''.

; resptime: Mean response time (lower bound). ''Default value: '''"0"'''.''
 
 
; csv_users: Name of the CSV-File for feeding the requests. ''Default value: '''"ox_user_credentials.csv"'''.''

== Test Execution ==
 
 
=== Pre-Requisites for the Open-Xchange Groupware Server ===
 
==== Disabling rate limitation ====
 
* Modify the parameter maxRateLenientClients @server.properties:
 
  $ vim /opt/etc/open-xchange/etc/server.properties
 
* Specify a new User-Agent which is excluded from rate limit checks
 
  "GATLING*"
 
 
==== Resources/Data ====
 
In the data folder you can find an sample csv file which is used to perform a login. If you want to use your own CSV-File place it into the data directory.
 
 
* Structure of the csv file:
 
  <code>
 
  username,password
 
  user1,secret
 
  user2,secret
 
  user3,secret
 
  ...
 
  user998,secret
 
  user999,secret
 
  user1000,secret
 
  </code>
 
 
=== Pre-compiled version of the gatling tests ===
 
Execute the gatling tests via bash script (Linux) or batch file (Windows).
 
 
The precompiled version is available here:
 
https://jenkins.open-xchange.com/view/QA/job/qaPerformanceGatlingTests/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/performance/com.openexchange.test.performance.gatling/target/
 
 
* Unzip ox-gatling-*-bin.zip
 
* Change working directory
 
  $ cd Downloads/ox-gatling-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT
 
* Please '''adjust''' the ''JAVA_OPTS'' in the scripts ''bin/box-gatling.sh'' or ''bin/ox-gatling.bat'' to match your needs.
 
** The following example will stress the server with the ''IP 10.0.0.1'' for ''120 seconds'' and hold the load with permanently ''100 user'':
 
 
  <code>exec "$JAVACMD" $JAVA_OPTS -Dprotocol=http -Dhost=10.0.0.1 -Dcsv_users=ox_user_credentials.csv -Dusers=100 -DdurationTime=120 -DdurationUnit=SECONDS \
 
  -classpath "$CLASSPATH" \
 
  -Dapp.name="ox-gatling" \
 
  -Dapp.pid="$$" \
 
  -Dapp.repo="$REPO" \
 
  -Dapp.home="$BASEDIR" \
 
  -Dbasedir="$BASEDIR" \
 
  io.gatling.app.Gatling \
 
  "$@"</code>
 
 
* Execute the script
 
  $ /bin/bash bin/ox-gatling.sh
 
 
<code>
 
<code>
  Choose a simulation number:
+
$ git clone https://gitlab.open-xchange.com/qa/performance.git
    [0] com.openexchange.test.performance.gatling.tests.QAPerfOX6
 
    [1] com.openexchange.test.performance.gatling.tests.QAPerfOXAppSuite
 
    [2] com.openexchange.test.performance.gatling.tests.QAPerfUSM
 
    [3] com.openexchange.test.performance.gatling.tests.QAPerfOXDrive
 
    [4] com.openexchange.test.performance.gatling.tests.QAPerfEAS
 
 
</code>
 
</code>
  
Now you will see some output of the compilation process but finally you should be able to start the simulation by entering a number.
+
Documentation can be found at <code>com.openexchange.test.performance.gatling/project/doc</code>. Please checkout the branch that corresponds to the version of OX App Suite to be tested.
 
 
=== Execute the gatling tests via maven plugin ===
 
* Switch to the root directory of the gatling project
 
 
 
  <code>cd /GIT_REPO/performance/com.openexchange.test.performance.gatling/</code>
 
 
 
* Now you can start the performance tests either by using the default values from the pom.xml,
 
 
 
  <code>mvn clean gatling:execute</code>
 
 
 
or by temporarily passing system properties:
 
 
 
  <code>mvn clean gatling:execute -Dhost=localhost -Dcsv_users=ox_user_credentials.csv -Dusers=5 -DdurationTime=20 -DdurationUnit=MINUTES -Dgatling.simulationClass=com.openexchange.test.performance.gatling.tests.QAPerfOX6</code>
 
  
== Practical hints and tips ==
+
[[Category: AppSuite]] [[Category: Testing]]
* If you want to run tests for more than 24h, uncomment the "timeOut" → "simulation" property at gatling.conf and define a value of more than 24h (in seconds).
 
* If you experience OutOfMemory issues when generating charts, adjust "charting" → "accuracy" to a higher value. This will lower the accuracy of the generated graphs. Especially for long-running tests, this could be set to 100ms.

OX App Suite Load Tests

We're providing load tests for various OX App Suite APIs and maintain simulations that correspond to specific client implementations. To use it, clone the following repository:

$ git clone https://gitlab.open-xchange.com/qa/performance.git

Documentation can be found at com.openexchange.test.performance.gatling/project/doc. Please checkout the branch that corresponds to the version of OX App Suite to be tested.
