Hello Devs, <OT>
I hope everyone is well and had a great time at Apache Con 2014 this week. </OT> I've been diverted from working on UG proper in an effort to be able to thoroughly and easily stress test it in a production-like environment. This includes testing methods, classes, and components in isolation as well the entire system. I've been working on the code here: [0] with more info at [1] and [2]. Initially I was hoping to use an existing toolkit to do this (since frankly I did not wanted to deal with writing testing code) however nothing really satisfied all our requirements: o test methods, classes and components in isolation as well as the entire system, o be a able to leverage existing unit tests as stress tests with just an annotation, o seamlessly integrate with our build and CI system o historically track the performance with metrics over the life of the project o auto-[de]provision clusters needed (C* and ES) for the annotated tests to hit Initially, I tried achieving this with JMeter and other such stress test tools but it just didn't fly. So I thought I could whip up a small library to get started and return back to the core persistence code. I did not realize the time it would take. Honestly, I thought it would be throw away code eventually and did not want to clutter our repository, while generating needless traffic. Plus I needed some help and asked friends at Safehaus who also had a similar need for their assistance and thankfully they also helped out. So we've progressed considerably however IMHO I think this code belongs at Apache alongside the UG code base which it was originally designed to stress test. So now I have some questions: (1) Should we import this into our source code repository? (2) If yes to (1) then, where should it go? In a 'chop' folder as a peer of the portal, sdk, and stack folders? (3) Do we need to get an ICLA on file for the guys who helped out while it was hosted for the brief convenient time it was kept at the Safehaus? ----- [0] - http://stash.safehaus.org/projects/CHOP/repos/main/browse [1] - http://jira.safehaus.org/browse/CHOP [2] - http://confluence.safehaus.org/display/CHOP/Home -- Best Regards, -- Alex
