Cloud Testing
FULL-DAY WORKSHOP
Testing in the Cloud from all Four Corners of the World!
This full-day workshop is tailored for individuals with a background in scripting or automation, focusing on cloud-based testing using Python. Participants will engage in hands-on activities to develop practical skills in creating and deploying test agents and data in a cloud environment.
The workshop will guide participants through the process of writing a simple test agent in Python to send traffic to a centralized REST API. Attendees will then create 10,000 random test objects for offline data testing and learn to spin up server instances in the AWS cloud using Python. The climax of the session involves deploying the test agent and data across cloud instances worldwide, aiming to generate simultaneous test traffic to a single REST API. This collective effort will test the REST API under a consistent and intense traffic load. The workshop is designed to be interactive and collaborative, fostering a hands-on learning experience.
What you’ll learn
From this session you will learn how to:
What you’ll need
Participants must bring their laptops to connect to the external training environment. You are expected to have some experience in automation, scripting, or working with Python and should also be comfortable using a terminal, connecting to remote servers using ssh and ssh-keys. The instructor is very happy to answer questions or any hesitation you might have about taking the workshop.
A browser (Chrome, Firefox, or Edge), access to port 6901. If you can use ssh (port 22), that is a bonus but not a hard requirement. We will send you instructions on how to connect to your machine will be sent out a week before the workshop. You MUST verify that you can access the training environment before the workshop.
