Site sizes

Test framework provides up to 3 different kind of test sites.

1. Small Site: 20 participants (15 access role and 5 maintain role).
2. Medium Site: 100 participants (80 access role and 20 maintain role).

3. Large Site: 500 participants (400 access role and 100 maintain role).

Generate Sites

1. Checkout source from repository: https://source.sakaiproject.org/contrib/qa/trunk/performance/framework/tests

2. Create a credentials.properties file:

   jm-adminuser=<your-sakai-admin>
   jm-adminpassword=<your-sakai-pass>

3. Execute maven command:

   mvn test site -Dtest-dir=init -Dtest-file=create.jmx -Dtest-properties-file=[small.properties|medium.properties|...]
   

Remove Sites

1. Execute maven command:

   mvn test site -Dtest-dir=init -Dtest-file=remove.jmx -Dtest-properties-file=[small.properties|medium.properties|...]

Load Test

1. Execute maven command:

   mvn test site -Dtest-properties-file=[small-low.properties|...]
   

Performance Results

Results of maven command are stored in html format inside tests/target/site dir.
Here is an example of create results.

In order to index all the results in one page type:

mvn site -Preport

This command produces the complete site.

In order to package in a war file type:

mvn package -Pwar

This command produces the complete site in war format.
