Dummy performance tests

"Dummy performance tests" uses the routes generated by dummy_urls to generate performance tests for your Rails 3 application.

Description

"Dummy performance tests" generates performance tests for your Rails applications. It depends on the test routes generated by dummy_urls

Installation

$ gem install dummy_performance_tests

Usage

Add the following to the Gemfile of your Rails 3 application: gem "dummy_performance_tests"

Now you have access to the generator: rails generate dummy:performance_tests

You need to tell it which directory was used when generating dummy routes (default: test/dummy): rails generate dummy:performance_tests --output-folder test/awesome_dummy

The files will be placed under output-folder/performance.

Feel free to mix all of these options.

The performance tests are stored in test/dummy/performance (by default) while a rake file is placed in lib/tasks/dummy_performance.rake. It allows you to run the previously generated tests: rake dummy:performance:test:all

The dummy data is copied from the development database into the database you specify (test, by default). The following would copy your development database to the "dummy" database for each test: RAILS_ENV="dummy" rake dummy:performance:test:all

Don't forget to import the data generated by dummy_data into your development database before running the tests, otherwise they will fail.

Results are stored in test/dummy/results (by default). Two distinct printers are used:

GraphYamlPrinter for automated processing
CallStackPrinter for human processing

For these printers to be used correctly, put this in your Gemfile (the official mirror of ruby-prof is currently lacking the graph yaml printer): gem "ruby-prof", :git => "http://github.com/wycats/ruby-prof"
