Alive

To run the project

First, clone the project using git clone https://github.com/deepdeev/alive.git

Then in the project directory, run meteor. This will run the application and tell you if there are any missing dependencies that you should install

Notes

When you run the application, you will get warnings related to the meteor version that we are using. Ignore them.

To run the API tests

Make sure you have the required packages with meteor add practicalmeteor:mocha

Now, in order to open Mocha test pages:

meteor test --driver-package practicalmeteor:mocha --port 3005

This will open testing page on port 3005

To run the load tests

We are using Locust, a python load testing framework which is configurable via code and offers a nice and useful web interface.

In order to install Locust, create a virtual environment using virtualenv and inside of it, run pip install locustio

Once inside, create your testfile and name it locustfile.py

Then run the tests using locust --host=http://localhost:3000 as our Meteor application is running at port 3000 of the localhost

Enter http://127.0.0.1:8089 in your browser. That should display the web interface for locust.

Our results are on the load_testing folder
