ps-load-test

A LocustIO Project to help Promotional Industry Suppliers to test their own PromoStandards environments

Our Goal

We want to help Promotional Industry Suppliers to improve their PromoStandards implementations by load testing their own environments. Load testing is a type of performance testing that simulates real user load on your system. It helps you to understand how your system behaves under normal and peak load conditions. It also helps you to identify the maximum operating capacity of your system and determine which element is causing degradation.

Improving your PromoStandards implementation is a key factor to improve your distributor's and end user's experience. It will help improve third party services like PSRESTful and PSMEDx as well.

Notes

You should try it first on staging and then on production.

We hope it helps you, as a Supplier, to find issues before your customers do.

It uses Jinja2 templates to generate data for the following PromoStandards requests.

If you are new to LocustIO we suggest you visit locustio to understand the project better.

Key Configurations are in file config.yml where you need to update the prod_url and staging_url accordingly.

If you are testing on stating you still don't need to update the prod_url but you need to update the staging_url.

We used Hit endpoints in the configuration as an example, so you can understand how to use it, but you must update it with your own endpoints.

Supported PromoStandards Requests

• Product Data (2.0.0)
• Media Content (1.1.0)
• Inventory (1.2.1, 2.0.0)
• Product Pricing and Configuration
• Order Shipment Notification (1.0.0)
• Order Status (1.0.0)
• Invoice
• Purchase Order

How to run it

1. Create a virtual environment and run pip install -r requirements.txt

2. You should create an .env file with the following variables:

    PROMO_USERNAME=your_promostandards_username
    PROMO_PASSWORD=your_promostandards_password
    ENVIRONMENT=staging/production
    SUPPLIER_CODE=your_supplier_code
    T_SHIRT_PRODUCT_CODE=your_product_code
    HARD_GOODS_PRODUCT_CODE=your_product_code

3. You can use several methods to add the values of the .env file to your environment but here is one for linux/mac:

   export $(cat .env | xargs)

4. Modify the config.yml file with your own endpoints and data.

5. Run the following command:

   locust --host=https://psrestful.com

   or

   locust --host=https://psrestful.com --loglevel DEBUG

   This command will run a server by default on port 8089 http://localhost:8089

So you can go there and state how many users and hatch rate (users spawned/second) to start.

Example:

Happy load testing!

Good luck!!!
