Gatling is a very powerful load & performance testing tool for analyzing and measuring the performance of a variety of services, mainly focuses on Web Applications. This testing framework is built in Scala, Akka & Netty. It is an open source framework & its code is available at github<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gatling comes up with a Recorder which records the scenarios & responsible for converting those scenarios into Gatling Simulations. It generates graphical reports after successful execution of the Gatling Simluation in html format to analyse the test report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This tool is basically known as the developers testing tool as it allows to fully automate the performance testing scenarios(Continuous Integration). Gatling can be easily integrate with the other developers tools i.e Maven, SBT, Jenkins, TeamCity etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gatling Installation:<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Gatling can be downloaded from the link– https:\/\/gatling.io\/open-source<\/a> or also can be installed from terminal by using the command–<\/p>\n\n\n\n

$ sudo apt-get install gatling<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note: <\/strong>Before Gatling installation, there must be java installed in the system. To check the java version through the command prompt, run the command i.e java -version<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gatling Bundle Structure:<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

After unzip the downloaded folder, you can find the below listed folders & sub-folders:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

you can also get the bundle structure on terminal by navigation to the Gatling folder & type the command as– tree (\u201ctree folder_name\u201d for the tree structure for a particulate directory)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note:<\/strong> To list the directory structure via tree command on terminal you need to install the tree package:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

$ sudo apt-get install tree<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bin Folder:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

It contains the launch script for the Gatling (gatling.bat\/gatling.sh) & the Gatling Recorder(recorder.bat\/recorder.sh).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

gatling.bat\/gatling.sh script<\/strong> files<\/strong> are basically used to run the Gatling Scripts or recorded scenarios & generates the results in the .html format.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

recorder.bat\/recorder.sh script files<\/strong> are used to record the scenarios over browser which is later used as input to Gatling to generate the load testing reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"bintreestructure\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

For Windows,<\/strong> use the *.bat scripts i.e gatling.bat or recorder.bat<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To execute the script navigate to the bin folder at terminal & run:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

$ .\/gatling.bat <\/strong> \/\/for Gatling<\/p>\n\n\n\n

$ .\/recorder.bat <\/strong> \/\/for Recorder<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Ubuntu,<\/strong> use the *.sh scripts i.e gatling.sh or recorder.sh<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To execute the script navigate to the bin folder at terminal as given follows & run commands:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. $ .\/gatling.sh<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
    \"gatling\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    2. $ .\/recorder.sh<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Config Folder:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    It contains configuration file for Gatling i.e Akka, Logback.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"conf-tree-structure\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Lib Folder:<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    This folder contains all the library(jar) files i.e binaries used by Gatling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
