Turbulence

Introduction

A plug-in based, distributed performance testing tool for developers

Installation

Install turbulence with npm:

npm install -g turbulence

Quick-Start

Turbulence uses a Javascript fluent interface to define test scripts. Create an empty my_test_plan.turbulence file to start, and paste the example code below:

turbulence
    .startUserSteps()
        .get('http://turbulence.io/')
        .expectStatus(200)
        .randomPause(2000, 10000)
        .concurrentUsers(10)
        .duration(60000)
    .endUserSteps()
    .run()

This will define a test that runs 10 virtual users against the turbulence home page. The users will pause from 2-10 seconds between every request, and continue for 60 seconds. The tests can then be run from the command line:

turbulence my_test_plan.turbulence

When turbulence finishes, a Report.html file will be created in the current directory. Open the file in a web browser and you should see the run report:
