Contile Load Tests

Requirements:

• Python 3.5+

Installation:

$ virtualenv venv -p python3
$ source ./venv/bin/activate
$ pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage:

The load tests make use of the following environment variables:

• TIMEOUT: The timeout (in seconds) for the request made to Contile (defaults to 5)
• TARGET_URL: The URL of the endpoint to be load tested (defaults to http://localhost:8000/v1/tiles)
• TEST_LOCATION_HEADER_NAME: The of the HTTP header used to manually specify the location from which the request originated. This should match the value of CONTILE_LOCATION_TEST_HEADER on Contile (defaults to X-Test-Location)

The load tests were written using Molotov and can be started using the following command:

$ molotov -c -v d <duration> -s <scenario name>

where <duration> is the length of time in seconds that you want the load test to run, and <scenario name> is one of the following:

• request_from_consistent_location_with_consistent_user_agent: Requests all originate from the same location (USCA) and have the same user agent (Google Chrome on Windows)
• request_from_random_location_with_consistent_user_agent: Requests originate from randomly-chosen locations but have the same user agent (Google Chrome on Windows)
• request_from_consistent_location_with_random_user_agent: Requests originate from the same location but have randomly-chosen user agents
• request_from_random_location_with_random_user_agent: Requests originate from a randomly-chosen location and have randomly-chosen user agents

Check the Molotov documentation for details on other options available to run the tests.
