Fusillade

Fusillade is a Promise interface to the load-testing tool Artillery.

Fusillade executes Artillery scripts and generates Artillery reports, then stores the results in MongoDB and dispatches notifications by email.

You can read about Artillery.IO on GitHub.

Installation

npm install fusillade

Fusillade is dependent on MongoDB which you should install (and start) separately.

Implementation

fusillade exposes a single function, which returns a Promise:

var fusillade = require('fusillade').fusillade;

fusillade()
  .then(function () { console.log('Done') })
  .catch(function (e) { console.log('Error', e.message) });

It should be configured with a JSON object which resides in your application root:

{
  "fusillade": {
    "src": "/path/to/your/artillery/scripts",
    "log": "/path/for/artillery/artifacts"
  },
  "mongo": {
    "uri": "mongodb://localhost:27017/fusillade",
    "options": {
      "host": "localhost",
      "port": 27017,
      "database": "fusillade"
    }
  },
  "mailer": {
    "transport": {
      "host": "smtp.anemailhost.com",
      "port": 465,
      "auth": {
        "user": "AUsername",
        "pass": "APassword"
      }
    },
    "message": {
      "from": "'Your Name' <[email protected]>",
      "to": "[email protected]",
      "subject": "Load and performance for {startDate} at {startTime}"
    }
  }
}

All of these attributes are required, but the fusillade section of the configuration object has defaults:

{
  "fusillade": {
    "src": "./fusillade/src",
    "log": "./fusillade/log"
  }
}

But that section of the configuration object and the defaults can be overriden by passing parameters to the function:

fusillade({ src: '/a/different/src/path', log: '/a/different/log/path' })

Fusillade also implements mongoose models. You can override them by passing different models as parameters to the function, instead:

fusillade({
  models: {
    HtmlModel: YourHtmlModel,
    HtmlListModel: YourHtmlListModel,
    JsonModel: YourJsonModel,
    JsonListModel: YourJsonListModel,
    ExceptionModel: YourExceptionModel
  }
})

In which case, you should ensure that they are initialised before they are passed to Fusillade.
