Feeders

If authentication is supported by the testing application, it should be considered for tests and data

should be used for logging in and out whereas only a few users are oered the action support.

There is no tool in Gatling which can produce such testing data. For an external source’s injec-

tion of data to help testers and work with the sessions of the virtual users, feeders are a quite

powerful API.

Checks

Whenever a server receives a request from Gatling, it generates a response and sends it back.

The analysis of this reply is carried out through checks. A check can be classified as a response

processor which stores some portion of it; it validates the matching of the specified conditions.

For instance, while an HTTP request is sent, it can be anticipated that an HTTP redirect will

come; check can here help in the verification of the response status. Sometimes, checks are also

utilized for the capture of specific elements which are then saved in the session for later reuse.

Assertions

The Gatling statistics’ acceptance criteria are defined by assertions. It causes the Gatling to fail

and reply with a status code for errors.

Reports

When a simulation is ended, reports are produced by default. Such reports entail HTML files,

easily portable and can be viewed easily on any browser with any device.

TESTING SMART WEARABLES

With the advancements in IoT, wearable devices have become an extremely valuable part and

parcel of daily life and helped humans to become a lot more productive than they originally

were, especially in terms of fitness. These wearable devices go through a number of phases

before they are made available for the consumers.

With regard to testing, you have to understand the integration of software and hardware;

particularly how smooth and seamless it is. Following are the phases of wearables testing.

Material Testing

In the middle of manufacturing or while working with a prototype, material testing is often

used. Material testing is split up into the following types.

• Chemical testing: It determines if any dangerous chemicals exist in the wearable

devices. To do this, it performs a scan of all the banned local chemical products.

• Physical testing: It is also known as mechanical testing. It makes sure the wearable’s

components are fitted thoroughly and properly.

• Performance testing: Performance testing is used to strike a balance for all the quality

indicators such as friction, pressure, weather conditions, and others.
