rocket is a simple stress-testing API for Node.js applications, made with socket.io.

Installation

install -d

Usage

use the configuration file

To use rocket you have to configure the file named 'conf.json' in the lib repository like that:

1. create an empty json object.

2. add your target. i.e the url of the application to test with rocket. It could be a local url.

   
   "target": "http://example.com"
   
   

3. then, add client profiles tab.

   
   "target": "http://example.com",
   "profiles": []
   
   

this profile tab contain all kind of clients you need to simulate.

1. create a client profile.

   
   "start": {
       "event": "name_start_event", //name of the event which will start the application
       "data": {} //data to sent with start event
   },
   "checkpoints": ["name_checkpoint1", "name_checkpoint2", ...], //checkpoints event received by the server side
   "stop": "name_stop_event", //received event which will stop the client
   "counter": 10 //number of clients
   
   

2. example config file

   
   "target": "http://example.com",
   "profiles": [
       //client profile
       {
       "start": {
           "event": "name_start_event", //name of the event which will start the application
           "data": {} //data to sent with start event
       },
       "checkpoints": ["name_checkpoint1", "name_checkpoint2", ...], //checkpoints event received by the server side
       "stop": "name_stop_event", //received event which will stop the client
       "counter": 10 //number of clients
       },
       //client profile
       {
       "start": {
           "event": "name_start_event", //name of the event which will start the application
           "data": {} //data to sent with start event
       },
       "checkpoints": ["name_checkpoint1", "name_checkpoint2", ...], //checkpoints event received by the server side
       "stop": "name_stop_event", //received event which will stop the client
       "counter": 5 //number of clients
       }
