Performance engineers

Spider may bring incredible observability to performance testers!

Use cases​

  • System discovery
  • Build and test scenarios
  • Track performance of inter services communications
    • Whereas injectors only see communications to the first service, Spider sees all coms
  • Track parallel processing issues
  • Dig into issues with massive volume of tests

Tips​

  • Capture clients actions to build scenarios
  • Use stats mode to study production gestures distribution to build realistic load distributions
  • Use sequence diagram mode to study performance of fan outs
  • Use sequence diagram mode to study parallel processing
  • Use the stats Excel export or, better, the REST API to get inner system performance metrics
  • Use stats and filtering to troubleshoot outliers, find specifics of the outer percentiles and so on...
