The 72 hour Stability Test for APPC has the goal of introducing a steady flow of transactions initiated from a Test Client server running JMeter. The transactions will be submitted through a DMaaP (Message Router) instance where APPC will pick up and process those requests. The JMeter test will look for a synchronous ACCEPT response to the request along with an waiting for an asynchronous response from APPC (SUCCESS or FAILURE). The initial testing will consist of three generic VMs running Ubuntu instantiated in the WindRiver OpenStack environment. The JMeter testing will exercise the following LCM API Actions:
- VM Restart
- VM Stop
- VM Start
- VM Restart
The 72 hour test will loop through these actions and VMs for the duration of the 72 hour window.
The test is divided up into 3 tests:
- Stability-Test-VM1 LCM Group (Restart VM)
- Stability-Test-VM2 LCM Group (Stop VM & Start VM)
- Stability-Test-VM3 LCM Group (Rebuild VM)
