Description ​

The upload test mimics a typical end user resource uploading scenario.

The test idea originally came from surf, where the process was used to compare the individual cloud platforms.

Each user loads an adjustable number of files with an adjustable file size into his home folder

Procedure ​

• admin creates N users.
  • N can be set with the k6 --vus option.
  • by default, it set to 1.
• each user logs into the system individually.
• each user uploads 10 files with a size of 1mb each into their home folder.
• admin deletes the created users.

the test runs N times for each user, for example if you define --vus 2 and --iterations 5 the testing steps as a whole will run 10 times (5 times per user).

Available options ​

• Shared options
• ASSET_SIZE: size of the individual asset in kb
  • default value: 1000
  • export ASSET_SIZE=2000
• ASSET_QUANTITY: number of assets to be uploaded
  • default value: 10
  • export ASSET_QUANTITY=20
