Gatling - load model with peaks

Is there a way to run a gatling test with a steady state og lets say 3 users per second, but periodically increase the load to lets say 10 user, lasting one minute and then back to 3 users. Repeating this "up and down" in load for 1 hour i.e. Thanks!

Solution

  • The first need define unique step with your flat and ramp load:

    val loadStep = List(
    constantUsersPerSec(3) during (10 minutes),
    constantUsersPerSec(10) during (1 minutes),
  )

    Then we populate with necessary steps count (via method fill)

     val loadProfile = List.fill(3)(loadStep).flatten

    Output will be:

    constantUsersPerSec(3) during (10 minutes),
constantUsersPerSec(10) during (1 minutes),
constantUsersPerSec(3) during (10 minutes),
constantUsersPerSec(10) during (1 minutes),
constantUsersPerSec(3) during (10 minutes),
constantUsersPerSec(10) during (1 minutes),

    And then need to pass loadProfile variable into scenario inject method
