Using Artillery for testing

Installed serverless, artillery and serverless-artillery

Serverless artillery is the result of combining the serverless framework with artillery.io. When serverless and artillery are combined, we get serverless-artillery, which allows fast, low-cost, and easy performance testing at scale. Serverless-artillery enables us to quickly and easily test the performance and functionality of our services without the use of servers or testing infrastructure.

$ npm install --global serverless
$ npm install --global artillery
$ npm install --global serverless-artillery

Automated Testing Approach

Go to the example artillery directory, cd load-test(github repo)

and then run the following command:

slsart invoke --stage script.yml

This will trigger a set requests in the hello-world example.

If we want the output to be dump to a file, file as follow: slsart invoke -p script.yml > result.json

Installation of npm/nodejs

To install the package I run following command after lots of trial.

curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_14.x 565 | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs

To check the version of package you installed

node -v
npm -v

Using Artillery Itself for testing

Installation of artillery using below command.

npm install -g artillery@latest

To test the artilley is installed successfully or not we can use npm to install Artillery globally, run:

artillery dino

For running test cases I used:

artillery run script.yml

Create a JSON report We can tell Artillery to write a JSON report of a test run into a file.

artillery run --output report.json  script.yml
