insomnia-plugin-load-test-timing

This plugin adds an option to each folder's and workspace's drop-down menu that allows you to run all the requests in the folder and gather timing information.

Folder or Workspace

Because of the restrictions from Insomnia, we can not detect requests in the sub folders. So we implemented a Load Test function for the workspace. If you want to test all the requests in the workspace, use the workspace menu.

Input Dialogs

When run, you will be asked three questions:

# Iterations

The number of times to issue the requests for all the requests in the folder

# Seconds

Delay between request runs, in seconds.

# Run in parallel

If yes, it will run all requests in folder for each run. If no, it will run each request serially.

Progress Bar

There will be a progress bar while requests are in progress.

Output Table

When the runs are finished you will be presented with tabular result set showing the average and total timings of each request in the folder.

The Successes column will show the # of successful http requests and Fails column will show the # of failed http requests that sent out. Ideally, the number in this column is equal to the [# Iterations] * [# requests in folder]. If it is not equal to this, then the number of failures is ([# Iterations] _ [# requests in folder]) * [# of requests that returned a non 2xx status code], and it will be colored RED for failure. A correct # of successes will be colored GREEN.

The results are shown in a separate windows, so you can compare different test results visually.

How to Install
