Readme
This is a load testing library and CLI tool. It is inspired by the good parts of Vegeta and JMeter, but hopefully leaves out the bad parts of both.
Install
You can install grandma
as a global CLI tool:
npm install grandma
Test files
Here is a quick example of a test file:
module.exports = {
beforeAll: function(done) {
process.nextTick(done);
},
beforeEach: function(done) {
process.nextTick(done);
},
test: function(done) {
process.nextTick(done);
},
afterEach: function(done) {
process.nextTick(done);
},
afterAll: function(done) {
process.nextTick(done);
}
};
All functions other than test
are optional, and you can exclude them if you do not need them. All functions are asynchronous, and you must call the done
callback to continue. For more information about writing tests, see the test files help topic.
CLI
To see the most up-to-date CLI, type:
grandma help
The following commands are available.
grandma run <testname> --duration=<duration> --rate=<rate> [options]
grandma report [glob=stdin] [options]
grandma list [options]
To see help on these commands, you can type one of:
grandma run --help
grandma report --help
The following options are available as flags (some are only relevant for the run
command):
grandma list
Lists all the tests in your test suite. You can use these names in grandma run
to run the test. See more information bout it in the granda list
CLI page.
grandma run
Run a test named "pineapples" for 10 minutes at a rate of 500 tests per second:
grandma run pineapples --duration 10m --rate 500 --out pineapples.log
Run a test named "peaches" for one and a half hours, running 100 concurrent tests:
grandma run peaches --duration 1h30m --concurrent 100 --out peaches.log
To find out more about the CLI, please see the grandma run
CLI page.
Note: I will assume that you have configured the test directory in the .grandmarc
file, so it was not included it in these examples.
grandma report
Print a plain text report of the previously-described test run:
grandma report pineapples.log
You can also create an HTML page containing an interactive graph of the results:
grandma report pineapples.log --type html --out pineapples.html
By default, all reports will print to standard output, unless you specify a file in the --out
flag.
You can find more information about the available reports and the data they provide in the grandma report
CLI page.
grandma diff
Compares two or more test runs, calculating the difference in timing among them.
grandma diff --logs one.log two.log three.log
.grandmarc
file
You can set up an RC file to help with managing some of the setting, such as the directory of test files. Here is the content a sample file.
To find out more, see the .grandmarc
doc page.
API
Grandma exposes the run
and report
commands as an API.
var grandma = require('grandma');
grandma.run
See more information about using run in the grandma.run
API page.
grandma.report
See more information about using report in the grandma.report
