Create simulations from packaged code

    Create simulations from packaged code in Gatling Enterprise.

    Creating a test-as-code simulation

    Click the Create a simulation button on the Simulations view or the Get started with test-as-code simulations button if the Simulations view is empty. This opens the simulation creation modal:

    Once you’ve selected your package, click the Create button to configure your simulation

    Set the general parameters

    In this step, define the simulation’s general parameters:

    • Name: the name that will appear in the simulations table.
    • Package: the actual package the simulation runs.
    • Simulation: the simulation to run from this package.

    Configure the load generator locations

    Configure the Gatling Enterprise load generator location(s).

    You can use:

    Managed location load generators have the following specifications:

    • 4 cores
    • 8GB of RAM
    • bandwidth up to 10 Gbit/s

    Gatling Enterprise managed locations are available in the following regions:

    • AP Pacific (Hong kong)
    • AP Pacific (Tokyo)
    • AP Pacific (Mumbai)
    • AP SouthEast (Sydney)
    • Europe (Dublin)
    • Europe (London)
    • Europe (Paris)
    • SA East (São Paulo)
    • US East (N. Virginia)
    • US West (N. California)
    • US West (Oregon)

    If you want to use private locations, please refer to the specific documentation.

    To get the best results from your simulation you should select the load generator locations that best match your user base.

    Create simulation
    • Location: defines the locations to be used when initiating the Gatling Enterprise load generators.
    • Number of load generators: number of load generators for this location.
    • Weight distribution: by default, every load generator will produce the same load. If enabled, you must set the weight in % for each location (e.g. the first location does 20% of the requests, and the second does 80%). The sum of all weights must be 100%.

    You can add several locations with different numbers of load generators to run your simulation.

    After this step, you can save the simulation, or continue with optional configurations.

    Apply optional configurations

    The following configurations are optional, further details about the available options and how configure each option are available in the Optional configurations for simulations documentation.

    • Set load generator parameters
    • Set acceptance criteria
    • Specify a time window
    • Add stop criteria

    Save and launch your simulation

    Once you’ve configured your no-code simulation, click the Save and Launch button to save your simulation and start the test.
