Test harness for exercising Fedora4 and Fedora3

1. Launch the candidate applications

Fedora 3.x:

$ ...

Fedora 4.x:

Deploy fedora-kitchen-sink webapp

Launch JMeter

Add JMeter to your PATH a la:

export PATH=$PATH:./jmeter/bin

You can open JMeter's GUI and load the script to run it interactively (see colored graphs!) or tinker with it. Run JMeter via:

jmeter

Toggle on and off the various threadgroups you want to run. They'll run in parallel (and crunch through the whole data set). IMPORTANT NOTE: Make sure you have enough disk space available to make N copies of the fixtures data.

Headless JMeter

You can also run JMeter in headless mode.

meter -n -t ${BASE}/plans/fedora.jmx -Jfedora_4_server=${HOST} -Jfedora_4_context='fcrepo/rest' -Jnum_threads=${THREADS} -Jloop_count=${LOOPS} -Jfilesize_mean=${FILE_SIZE} -Jfilesize_stddev=${STD_DEV}

Running the suite for Fedora 4

To run all Fedora 4 tests (create/read/delete), turn on: "Create Fixtures", "Fedora 4", "Destroy Fixtures" and make sure "Fedora 4"/"Fedora Module" is set to "Fedora Profiling > Fedora Basic Test".

You may have to clear you data directories under mode.
