Quick start: PTS performance test

Procedure

1. Log in to the PTS console. In the left navigation bar, select Performance Testing > Create Scenario, and then click PTS Stress Test.

2. Orchestrate the scenario

   To start a performance test, you must create a performance testing scenario. A performance testing scenario consists of one or more parallel business sessions, with each session containing one or more sequential requests (APIs).

   Configure the following parameters:

   • scenario name: Enter a name for the scenario, such as pts-test.

   • API name: Enter a name for the API, such as API-1.

   • URL to be tested: Enter the URL to test, such as http://www.example.com.

     Note

     The URL must be a complete URL starting with http:// or https://. It can include parameters, such as http://<DomainName>/<Path?key1=value1&key2=value2>.

   • request method: Select GET.

   • Keep the default values for other settings.

3. Configure the stress settings

   Because this is only a test, set the maximum number of virtual users to 10 and the total test duration to 1 minute. Keep the default values for other settings. Running a performance test incurs fees. Select an appropriate stress level. For more information, see billing overview and stress configuration.

4. Debug the scenario

   To verify your configurations and prevent test failures, debug the scenario first. The following figure shows a successful request. If the response status is not 200, check if the API is accessible.

5. Click Save and Start Test. In the Reminder dialog box, select Run Now, select the Confirm that this performance test has been approved and complies with local laws checkbox, and then click Start Test.
