Getting started

The easiest way to get started with Automation Packages is to use one of our tutorial projects.

Load and performance tests

For automated and continuous performances tests, the tutorials include a complete project definition with a few simple keywords and plans defining a short load test scenario. It should be straightforward to execute these projects and start from there by modifying them according to your needs.

  • Browser-based load testing with Playwright
  • Protocol-based load testing with okhttp
  • Continuous load testing with Grafana K6

Synthetic Monitoring

Similarly to the load and performance test scenario, the tutorial for synthetic monitoring contains simple keywords, execution plan and schedule to set up the synthetic monitoring.

  • DevOps Synthetic Monitoring with Playwright

A more advanced tutorial, illustrates how to define schedule functional and performance assertion as well as custom alerting rules.
