I am about to present a POC for a tool that shall be used for our performance/load testing efforts. Of course, I have chosen Gatling.
If you would present a Gatling POC, what are the important points and features that you would show/tell your stakeholders(audience)? Any suggestions?
Hi Julian,
I’d read the user stories to see how others are benefitting from Gatling:
http://gatling.io/#/stories
I’d walk through this simulation against the demo computer database site and run it:
https://github.com/bbc/gatling-load-tests/blob/master/src/test/scala/bbc/kraftwerk/ComputerWorld.scala
I’d add realtime graphing and talk about that (works out of the box):
https://github.com/bbc/gatling-load-tests/blob/master/docs/real_time_graphs.md
I’d then show the Gatling generated report and play with the zoom and click a few percentiles.
I may also talk a little about synchronous and asynchronous concurrency models.
Gatling can achieve 8-10 times more throughput with one box than our paid proprietary tool with 8 load-injectors.
Think about that for a second.
