Guido open sources Code Review app running on GAPE

Not sure why this wasn't publicized more, but Guido van Rossum announced today that he open sourced the code for Code Review, a Google AppEngine app he released last week. Code Review is based on Mondrian, the internal code review tool that Guido wrote for Google. The relationship between the two apps in terms of features is: Code Review < Mondrian.

The code for Code Review is part of a Google code project called Rietveld. I haven't looked at it yet, but I'll certainly do so soon, just to see the master's view on how to write a GAPE application.

Performance vs. load vs. stress testing

Here's a good interview question for a tester: how do you define performance/load/stress testing? Many times people use these terms interchangeably, but they have in fact quite different meanings. This post is a quick review of these concepts, based on my own experience, but also using definitions from testing literature -- in particular: "Testing computer software" by Kaner et al, "Software testing techniques" by Loveland et al, and "Testing applications on the Web" by Nguyen et al.

Update July 7th, 2005

From the referrer logs I see that this post comes up fairly often in Google searches. I'm updating it with a link to a later post I wrote called 'More on performance vs. load testing'.

Performance testing

The goal of performance testing is not to find bugs, but to eliminate bottlenecks and establish a baseline for future regression testing. To conduct performance testing is to engage in a carefully controlled process of measurement and analys…

Dynamic DNS updates with nsupdate and BIND 9

I first saw nsupdate mentioned on the devops-toolchain mailing list as a tool for dynamically updating DNS zone files from the command line. Since this definitely beats manual editing of zone files, I'd thought I'd give it a try. My setup is BIND 9 on Ubuntu 10.04. I won't go into the details of setting up BIND 9 on Ubuntu -- see a good article about this here.

It took me a while to get nsupdate to work. There are lots of resources out there, but as usual it's hard to separate the grain from the chaff. When everything was said and done, the solution was relatively simple. Here it is.

Generate TSIG keys

# dnssec-keygen -r /dev/urandom -a HMAC-MD5 -b 512 -n HOST myzone.com


This generates 2 files of the form:
-rw-------   1 root bind   122 2012-03-21 15:47 Kmyzone.com.+157+02058.key
-rw-------   1 root bind   229 2012-03-21 15:47 Kmyzone.com.+157+02058.private
Note that I specified /dev/urandom as the source of randomness, which may not meet your security requirements. When I d…

Running Gatling load tests in Docker containers via Jenkins

Image
Gatling is a modern load testing tool written in Scala. As part of the Jenkins setup I am in charge of, I wanted to run load tests using Gatling against a collection of pages for a given website. Here are my notes on how I managed to do this.

Running Gatling as a Docker container locally

There is a Docker image already available on DockerHub, so you can simply pull down the image locally:


$ docker pull denvazh/gatling:2.2.2
Instructions on how to run a container based on this image are available on GitHub:
$ docker run -it --rm -v /home/core/gatling/conf:/opt/gatling/conf \ -v /home/core/gatling/user-files:/opt/gatling/user-files \ -v /home/core/gatling/results:/opt/gatling/results \ denvazh/gatling:2.2.2
Based on these instructions, I created a local directory called gatling, and under it I created 3 sub-directories: conf, results and user-files. I left the conf and results directories empty, and under user-files I created a simulations directory containing a Gatling load test scenario writ…
