If you have been following my ongoing video tutorials on jmeter performance testing then you may have wondered what server side statistics should be gathered during performance testing. We have not yet looked in to specific statistics which we should gather for server side monitoring. In this post we would have a look at useful linux commands which can be used to gather several important performance statistics. We would use these commands in future performance testing tutorials to gather server side performance statistics. Most of the description of these commands is from command "man"ual. So lets begin -
Ant is a build tool which could be used to have your tests running either from command line or from Hudson CI tool. There is detailed documentation available for ant here but probably you need to know only a little part of it for you selenium tests. The essentials which are needed to know are: Project Target (ant execution point and collection of tasks) Tasks (could be as simple as compilation) And there would usually be following targets for Selenium tools - setClassPath - so that ant knows where you jar files are loadTestNG - so that you could use testng task in ant and use it to execute testng tests from ant init - created the build file clean - delete the build file compile - compiles the selenium tests run - executes the selenium tests Here is my project set up for ant -
