Add locust and jmeter rps-baed loadtest profiles #218

Closed Angi2412 closed 2 years ago

Angi2412 commented 2 years ago

This PR adds two new load test profiles for the Teastore:

Jmeter: a load test profile that is rps-based (open workload)
Locust: a browse and buy profile

The profiles follow the following scheme:

I used these profiles in my master thesis and to be published paper (Euro-Par 2022). The citation will follow once it's published.

Hi @Angi2412, this looks pretty useful. Extending the number of load generators we support has been a longstanding issue. I'm also pretty sure that nobody is really using the existing JMeter configuration with a closed workload, so the open workload script would be quite the improvement.

I'll test the load profiles either later today or early next week. At a first glance, they look pretty good :)

Some minor improvements that might be useful:

Could you add some comments to the load profiles to make them easier to understand and modify?
Could you add a short section on using Locust here? I think this would significantly increase adoption of the locust load profiles.

@SimonEismann I added more comments to the locust profile and an instruction section.

@Angi2412 I finally got around to testing the load profiles, and they work great! Thanks also for providing the documentation on how to use locust, I think this will be quite helpful. After having a look, it seems like the load profiles already had solid comments.

I've merged the changes and they should be ready to use now :)
