We have made writing and running custom load tests easier by opening up our test harnesses for building both Node.JS and PHP tests. Users can now run custom load tests on your local machine before deploying them at scale. You can modify the loadtest.ini file with your own custom parameters.

To see the full documentation on these updates, visit our GitHub:

Load Harness – Custom PHP Tests

git clone https://github.com/redline13/harness-custom-test-php.git
cd harness-custom-test-php.git
php runLoadTest.php ExampleTest

Then substitute in your own PHP test.

Load Harness – Custom Node.JS Test

git@github.com:redline13/harness-custom-test-nodejs.git
cd harness-custom-test-nodejs.git
npm install
# Look at ReadMe for OSX issue/requirement

node loadTester 2 CustomTestSimple.js
# Simulates 2 users running your test

Then substitute in your own Node.JS test.
