Consensus on Test Plans
Achieved consensus, 5 people have liked the Page)
JMeter Test Implementation
- Other actions is to put together the quite simplest JMeter tests
...
- (Just creating default containers)
...
- (More about the mechanics about dealing with JMeter)
...
- Some attendees of the calls have expressed some interest in the past
- Thus far, haven't heard from anyone regarding implementation
...
Utility within the Ongoing Development of Fedora
Some changes going on with the underlying Fedora implementation stack
...
A service (Blazemeter) can be hired (by DuraSpace) for JMeter test plans (executed in scale using, Amazon Web Services)
Progressing with JMeter
...
Question: Given the test plans...what are the appropriate next steps?
...
- A. Wagner: New to Fedora...have used it on numerous occasions
- A. Woods also bears experience
- N. Ruest is quickly working to gain experience
...
- J. Griffin is a complete novice
- Would it be helpful to contact parties responsible for the legacy Fedora 3.x JMeter tests?
- The outlook is grim (due to the age of the work)
- Looking through commits...Nigel Banks, Chris Beer and Adam Soroka appear as contributors
- Also, there is not much a learning curve with JMeter...more a matter of time
- The limiting factor is time (more than anything else)
Looking to implement test case #4, one should allocate 30 minutes to try to open up the JMeter UI, load JMX file, have enough skill at create the tests
- Essentially, create the containers, and gauging by the speed of the response of the server, pass or fail the tests
- Ultimately, get to having JMeters for all 6 cases within the plan
- Then, decide what to do with the information
- Esme Cowles has been undertaking some testing
- Baseline of information drives the components of Fedora which must be adjusted in order to improve performance
...
- Note that the JVM configuration is included within the system profile
...
General sense is that this is a stopping point
First Test Implementation Team
- N. Ruest leads
- J. Griffin volunteers
- A. Wagner is unavailable until 01/04/16
- Can look to offer hardware for building different boxes
...
- N. Ruest can spend next 1-2 days addressing this test
- Various test cases with different clients can be planned
- Incremental effort, where the initial creation of containers...building on itself for the container creation, and then look at the other tests
- 72 hours of N. Ruest's dedicated time will be invested in these efforts
- Following the updating of this Confluence Page following the call, N. Ruest will comment and update on the status of his labors
...
- Indicate any obstacles by Wednesday afternoon
...
- Should avoid forking the existing GitHub repository
...
- Include the JMX file alone into a new repository
Long Term Goals
Ideally, make substantial progress before February 2016
...
- Get a sense of how much effort it shall consume, produce a better estimate
...
- No strong commitments this far...
...
- Nice on the next call to have a better sense of when this initial set of tests shall be scripted out
...
Scheduling the Next Meeting
...
- Propose a meeting be scheduled into early 2016
...
- A. Woods shall be unavailable throughout the early year (no access to WWW)
...
- Hopefully have that meeting before A. Woods returns
...
- N. Ruest proposes 01/11/15 11:00AM (EST)
Nick leads the time
...
- A. Wagner authors an agenda Page
...
- Agenda will be filled in with updates
...
- regarding the progress with the tests
Outreach
- Reaching out to other
...
- parties which have, in the past, expressed interest in performance should be explored
- U. Michigan
...
- Hydra-in-a-Box at Stanford U.
...
...
- It would be ideal to bring in other groups (beyond the core Fedora committers)
