Distribute​d Load Testing-Op​enSTA

Distributed Tests 

 To setup for the original method of distributed testing do the following:

1. Select 1 machine that will be the master on which you will develop the tests and Run: this will be your RepositoryHost and the other machines will be the slave load generating machines.

2. On EACH of your slave machines, configure the OpenSTA Name Server by right clicking on the name server icon in the task bar and selecting Configure. Set the 'Repository Host' to the IP/Name of your master(RepositoryHost).

3. On the master(RepositoryHost) machine, create a test. Add your script to the Task group. Set the 'Host' to the IP of one of your slave machines. Set the VU to the load you want that slave to generate. Set the 'Start' to a scheduled time.

 4. Now right-click on the task you've added and select 'Duplicate Task Group'. Set the 'Host in the duplicated task to another slave's IP. Optionally, you can modify the load.

5. Repeat Step 4 for all the slaves.
