Creating scenario in Gatling

Table of content

What we learned so far

In our study, we used Gatling as our load and performance testing tool.
We have concluded that to use the Gatling software, JDK8 or later versions must be installed in the system.
We also concluded that Gatling is open source and free, and can be easily downloaded from its official website www.gatling.io

Go to Gatling's bin folder:
The Gatling Graphical user interface pops up after few seconds after clicking into the recorder.bat file.
Go to LAN Settings in our browser and setting the manual proxy. The host is set to localhost and port is set to 8000
Click start in the Gatling interface. Keeping the encoding as UTF-8 and Recorder mode to HTTP Proxy, Set your customized output folder where the Scala file will be saved.
Open a new tab in the browser and type the custom URL in the search bar. Example: www.india.com
While the page is loaded, go to the Gatling interface and see the processes running.
After a moment of some seconds or minutes when you feel like the web application has gained significant requests, go to Gatling's interface and click on Stop and Save
After closing the GUI of Gatling, go to your target folder to view your test file which is a Scala file format.
Here is the snapshot of the code.
