LoadRunner

LoadRunner copied to clipboard

Generic performance testing library for executing load-tests written in .NET c#

• Originally aimed for developers (and up to corner case scenarios) for maximum flexibility.
• But easy enough to use it as writing integration tests - just for more threads. :)
• NuGet: Install-Package Viki.LoadRunner -pre

Quick Intro

Current documentation is only in form of code examples.

• It's far from completed, but IMO its should be good enough to see whether this tool can be useful.

Start with this small setup to get a feel on how it's configured.

• One needs to define 3 things to make fully working test (See QuickStartDemo.cs):
  • [1] Write Scenario implementation, defining code it-self which will get executed concurrently multiple times.
  • [2][Optional] Configure how results get aggregated/presented.
  • [3] Configure strategy on how test gets executed (e.g. How much threads, how long it should run. etc...)
• Real case & simple load-test scenario to meassure "somewhat-theoretical" performance of simple http server - https://github.com/Vycka/HttpMockSlim/tree/master/tests/HttpMockSlim.LoadTest

HistogramAggregator is a default tool to aggregate results with defined dimensions/metrics

• Given its flexibility documentation will take time till its done.
• Until then - it should be easy enough to figure it out through various uses in examples already available:
  • HistogramAggregatorDemo.cs#L30 - WiP
  • QuickStartDemo.cs#L64
  • RawDataMeasurementsDemo.cs#L59
  • AggregationImpactDemo.cs#L39
  • BatchAndWaitDemo.cs#L29
• There is also a generic version of this Histogram to use it on your own custom data: new Histogram<T>()
  • It comes with few generic dimensions and metrics, but given the custom type and required aggregation, one might need to implement some custom IDimension<T>'s and IMetric<T>'s

Rest of the demo project:

• Index
  • Program.cs
• Feature specific demos (WiP)
  • RawDataMeasurementsDemo.cs
  • ScenarioFactoryDemo.cs
• Engine throughut (WiP)
  • TheoreticalSpeedDemo.cs - Theoretical throughput without doing any measurements.
  • AggregationImpactDemo.cs - Theoretical throughput with aggregation pipeline attached.

Until demo project is completed, one can also checkout my messy setups i use for debugging:

• src/Playground/Program.cs
