Confluence - LoadRunner Scripts

[Abraham Abe]

Hi All

Anyone using load runner to test Confluence performance.

I saw one post here https://confluence.sakaiproject.org/display/PERF/Load+Testing+with+HP+LoadRunner

Can you please share your experience / scenarios / sample scripts?

Thanks

Abe

Hi Abraham,

I've never tested the performance using HP load runner, but as two alternatives to this, you may use Apache Benchmark as the example bellow:

tiago@ecrnt-85:~$ ab -A user:password -n 100 -c 7 http://localhost:8090/jira/
This is ApacheBench, Version 2.3 <$Revision: 655654 $>

Benchmarking localhost (be patient).....done

And you may use Jmeter as described in this page: https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Performance+Testing+Scripts

Edit: I forgot to mention that you can live monitor the status of your instance using JMX interface: https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Live+Monitoring+Using+the+JMX+Interface

I hope this has helped.

Cheers
