This article is the fourth part of a series of tutorials dedicated to Gatling Load Testing. Kraken is used to ease the debugging of Gatling simulations and to speed up the process of load testing a fake e-commerce website: PetStore. We will focuse on POST requests and script modularization: In the previous blog post we created a realistic Virtual User that browses the store without buying anything.

Last week, our team at Katalon Studio partnered with Applitools to present a webinar: Top 5 Features to Look for in a Codeless Automation Solution. With the rise in demands for QualityatSpeed products, there’s no denying the benefit of automation testing software has on product development cycles: they shorten the release cycle, and fast to match the tech industry’s ever-changing nature with developments in the testing industry itself.

While developing Kraken’s frontend I quickly stumbled upon performance issues with Angular Material tree when too many nodes where opened. Kraken is an open source load testing IDE. As such, it displays a tree of directories and files used to script the load testing scenarios: You can have a look by creating a free account on the demo or check the source code of the UI on GitHub. It uses the latest version of Angular and components provided by Angular Material such as the tree.

Few things are more frustrating than slow, flaky test suites. You're ready to deploy, wait 20 minutes for CI to run, only to find that a test failure in code you've never touched is blocking you. You dig into the source and find the problem: an external API call. It works (slowly) most of the time. But sometimes the network glitches and it fails. What do you do? In this article, José Manuel shows us several techniques for removing external API dependencies from our tests.
