If you just want to create a basic load test and configure it later, create a default load test.
You can use the created scenario as a simpler baseline test. This test would also work as a basis for your own custom load test.
Test parameters
To create basic load tests, use the default load test template. It will create a test with the following parameters:
-
Duration – 10 minutes.
-
Load type – VUs.
-
Simulated load – 10 virtual users.
-
Wait time – One second.
-
Warmup time – 15 seconds.
-
Assertions – Time taken – Median.
Here is what your test results may look like:
Configuring a load test
Default load tests are very simple and not intended for extended testing. After creating a test, we recommend customizing it to serve your purposes:
-
Change the Load Profile to better simulate user behavior.
-
Switch to Rate Load Type to simulate users coming to your service without waiting until other users finish their work.
-
Add Assertions to check your service performance.
-
Add additional scenarios to simulate more complex user behavior, or to simulate the actions of several users working with the service.
