Getting Started

How do i create project?

To try out an example project, copy its script to a new file with the extension.gl-js and save it in the project directory.
Then run with this command line or WebUI:

Each project must contain the main() function without parameters.
This function will be launched when the project is launched.

Hello world

A minimal project script that simply adds messages to the log:

To simply check the availability of any endpoint, use this script:

Request parameterization

Separate specification of request parameters:

demoServer is a built-in variable containing the address of the demo server as part of GeekLoad

Using an object with a set of fields:

Headers, cookies, query, and body, can be set in two ways - as separate params and object with a set of fields.

A chain of requests

If it is necessary to make several consecutive requests within the same connection, these requests can be combined into a chain of calls:

Request postprocessing

The then method is designed to perform various checks and/or save data after the successful execution of the request.

Checking the values in the response:

Saving the value from the response to a special storage Session and its usage:

Simplest case

The group describes a dynamic distributed group of virtual users running a common scenario.

Executing 10 virtual users with a simple scenario within 5 seconds:

Groups with complex profile

Shape describes the curve of change in the number of virtual users over time.

The profile describes the duration of the group and the number of virtual users at each time of group duration.

This project smoothly increases the load from 0 to 100 virtual users then holds 100 vu for 10 seconds and then gradually reduces to 0:

Complex project

A project can contain any number of stages performed sequentially.
Each stage can contain one or more groups executed in parallel.
A Group launched outside the stage is completely equivalent to a stage with this group.

A test plan of 3 stages can be implemented in the form of a similar project below.
Real tests sometimes find errors. This project will find them too. We promise.

Distribution load

Cloud is a source of agents in a given location, managed by a given provider (Private, Amazon, etc.)

Distribution describes the distribution of virtual users of each group by locations.

Real distributed tests require some preliminary preparation and resources.
Therefore, the project this project shows only the concept of clouds and distributions:
