Locust Load Test for JASECI

Locust is an easy-to-use, distributed, user load testing tool. It is intended for load-testing web sites (or other systems) and figuring out how many concurrent users a system can handle.

Run Locust natively

Install Locust

pip install locust

Configure the test

Create test users. This following script will prompt you for the jaseci server URL and number of test users you wish to create.

python create_users.py

Then create a folder in sample_code/. Set up a file config.json in the folder. Here is an example:

{
    "walkers" : ["init"],
    "src" : "walker.jac",
    "remote_actions" : ["http://flair-ner:80/"],
    "local_actions" : []
}

walkers is a list of walkers that you want to call (in sequence). src the name of the file that contains your code. remote_actions should contain a list of URLs of your remote services. local_actions should contain a list of names of your modules.

Run the test

The program reads the environment variable LOCUST_TEST_SRC for the location of the test configuration and LOCUST_HOST for the jaseci server URL.

LOCUST_HOST='JASECI_URL' LOCUST_TEST_SRC='sample_code/<YOUR TEST>' locust -f run_jac.py

Go to the link specified in console, e.x http://0.0.0.0:8089 and specify the desired number of users for the load test and initiate the test. Please make sure that the host url is the same with LOCUST_HOST.

Run Locust with docker

Set up the environment

Install docker

pip install docker

Build the custom docker image

docker build -t locust-jac-test .

Note If you are testing a localhost jaseci, please make sure that your Jaseci service is exposed to 0.0.0.0 since we are going to access the service from docker, not local. To achieve that, run

kubectl port-forward <JASECI POD NAME> 8888:80 --address="0.0.0.0"

Configure the tests

Note Please make sure that you have configured the tests properly as we did in the previous section.

Since we are not going to open a Web UI this time, we need some more information. Please give all the information in test.json. Here is an example

{
    "hostName": "http://172.17.0.1:8888",
    "testName": "simple",
    "testSRC": "sample_code/simple",
    "userNum": 5,
    "spawnRate": 1,
    "duration": "10s"
}

hostName gives the URL of the host. Note that localhost on the host computer is mapped to 172.17.0.1 inside docker containers. testName is a simple name for the test. It will be included in the name of the container and the result that we retrieve. testSRC specifies the path to the specific test configuration. userNum specifies the number of users that we need to spawn in this test. spawnRate specfies the speed that we spawn the users (How many users created in one second). duration sets the time length of the test.

Run the test

To run the test

python start_docker.py

All the tests will be created inside a separate docker container. The containers are named Locust_<TESTNAME>. All the tests should be run in parallel. When all the tests are done, the python script automatically removes and kills all the containers.

Retrieve the test data

All available data are retrieved after you ran the script. They should be available under results/<testName>/. logs.txt is the log of the test. data.tar file should contain four CSV files. They are directly from locust.
