Scenarios?
Hi again,
Just starting to play with The Grinder and I have a (possibly stupid) question.
Often when load testing I want to set up several different usage 'Scenarios'
eg( for a 'for sale' app)
Scenario 1 - User:
searches for a for sale Item,
clicks through to a detail page for an item,
returns to search results,
clicks through to another detail page for another item
Scenario 2 - User:
logs in,
posts a new item for sale,
logs out
Scenario 3 - User
visits registration page,
registers,
logs in
posts a new item for sale,
logs out
etc etc
I would then have a whole bunch of threads repeatedly running Scenario
1, another bunch running Scenario 2 etc
At first glance I was expecting that I would write a script for each
scenario, and then allocate the scripts to different workers,
however it looks like grinder.properties only allows for a single
script to be specified per agent and all workers will run that script.
So it seems that to do what I want I need to
a) run a separate agent for each scenario OR
b) make the script able to run multiple scenarios in parallel (
using threads?)
What is the accepted way to do this sort of thing with The Grinder?
cheers
