One of the best features of FintX is that it can run real-time load tests against your gRPC service! This sets it apart from other testing tools that only supports calling the gRPC methods. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

FintX supports 3 types of load tests<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Incremental Load Test<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Constant Load Test<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Burst Load Test<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    In this tutorial we will go through the steps to run an Incremental Load Test<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Before we start<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Make sure you have already added a gRPC client. If you haven’t done so yet, have a look at the Quickstart Guide<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Create a Load Test<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \"\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    1. Click on the Perf test menu<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Click on the Add Perf Test button<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. Enter the name of the test<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    4. Describe the test<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    5. Select the gRPC service that will be load tested<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    6. Select the method that will be load tested<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    7. Click Okay<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      Run an Incremental Load Test<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      \"\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      1. Double on the perf test or click on the “folder” icon to open it<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      2. Select Incremental<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      3. Enter the number of virtual users. In this tutorial we enter 20<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      4. Enter a ramp up of 1 sec\n
          \n
        • This means that a thread (which simulates a virtual user) will be created every second until configured number of virtual users is reached<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Enter the Invoke interval (msec)\n
            \n
          • The Invoke Interval is the time between each call to the gRPC method. If you specify 0 (zero), this means that FintX will immediately call the method as soon as the previous call finishes

            If the Invoke interval is X and is greater than zero, FintX will wait for X milliseconds before making the next call
            <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Enter the Test Duration. In this tutorial we enter 80 sec.\n
              \n
            • This is the duration of the whole load test<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Since we are doing incremental load testing, this means that for the first 20 secs the number of virtual users will increment by 1 i.e. the load on the service will gradually increase. And then for the remaining 60 sec, all 20 virtual users will be concurrently invoking the service.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Now that we’re all setup, hit the Run button!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

              Wait for the test to finish<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

              As the test progresses, the charts will display in real-time the metrics that describes the performance of your service. At the end of the test, you should see something similar to the below screenshot<\/p>\n\n\n\n
