Use own testing tool instead of JMeter [Feature Request] #9

Open vid opened 2 years ago

vid commented 2 years ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. JUnit is limited in what kinds of tests it can perform.

Describe the solution you'd like I'd like to be able to plug in my own testing tool instead of JUnit, and otherwise take advantage of this solution.

Hi @vid Did you mean JMeter instead of JUnit? Could you share the scenarios you are looking to test and the tool you use? I can check if there is a workaround using JMeter. I will add the feature request to our backlog, we don't have a strong opinion on this topic yet.

@kaumishra you're right, I meant JMeter, edited. We are using a headless browser approach (with playwright). Of course it's more resource intensive, but lets us reuse our e2e tests and offers more opportunity for analysis. If we knew what statistics to emit and how to plug it into azure-load-testing, we can do the work to plug it in. Thanks!

@vid Thanks for sharing. That scenario is very interesting. I am adding @johnsta from our team to comment on this.

Hi @johnsta, anything we can do to help move this forward?

johnsta commented 2 years ago

Hi @vid, we're still very early in our thinking here. I've followed up with you via email to see if we can set up a call to discuss more.

I would like to add a 👍 to adding Playwright to ALT. Currently using this for E2E testing of our web apps and would very much like to increase the scale of the tests with ALT to reproduce realistic simulated user load.
