• In the initial start of the run, i see 0%, why is that?
• Although all my requests are ok, i dont see any updates happening in the backend; for example: an item actually getting added to the cart, is there any issue in my code?
• How can i be sure that my post requests have succeeded, if there are not updates visible in my application?
• At step 13. update profile, the output is bad request(400) , but the step shows as succeeded, why is that?

Hi @suvinad

In the initial start of the run, i see 0%, why is that?

Ddosify prints the current situation every 1.5 seconds. Since your scenario has 14 steps, it takes longer to complete a run.

Although all my requests are ok, i dont see any updates happening in the backend; for example: an item actually getting added to the cart, is there any issue in my code?

As far as I can see all steps received HTTP response with status codes. So your server has received the requests and sent the response. But the configuration files contain errors;

1. The first step contains sample headers values that we provide on our example config file. Also, you've enabled the HTTP2 via h2: true field.
2. Steps that uses POST method sends data with payload_mutlipart. payload_mutlipart is for multipart/form-data request and it automatically adds Content-Type: multipart/form-data; header. So if your endpoint does not accept this payload type, then you should use the proper one. I think payload_file would be OK for your endpoint. You can pass a JSON file directly.
3. If any request requires authentication, you need to arrange the config file according to the authentication type. Ddosify supports basic auth and token based auths.

At step 13. update profile, the output is bad request(400) , but the step shows as succeeded, why is that?

If Ddosify receives the response from the endpoint, then it marks that request as Successful no matter the status code.

After that fixes if you need more help, don't hesitate to contact us on Discord. We can help you faster in there.

thank you for giving me a hint on the type of body the server expects, i replaced it with

hi @kursataktas

i had a couple of questions based on my load run(attached output) and based on the scenario in the config file ( attached)

1. I have a request count of 300 and duration of 60 secs for the scenario in the config file

• does this mean the entire scenario executes in 60secs, ie all 300 requests get covered up in 60s

2. all successful runs show 0%, however i do see some successes in the output

• can you tell me how to interpret the report in terms of each of its fields

3. how is linear load different from incremental load different from waved load: can this be understood from the request count
   as to the naked eye everything seems linear

4. does the tool simulate parallel load, like all 300 requests coming in at the same time

5. does the tool support parametrization, like reading data from a csv file or excel sheet or database table and submitting these
   to the request payload

6. Any logical conditions/assertions supported?

7. what is the difference between jmeter / ddosify in terms of capability? can i get some reasons why ddosify can be a good fit over UI tools like Jmeter; in what scenarios?

8. Can ddosify show how a request gets broken down internally ( example if there are any db connection requests, any other urls getting loaded in between etc)

9. Can the tool show where are the performance bottlenecks ( example: cpu, memory,network bandwidth etc)

10.Is there a way to get the content of the response in terms of response headers,response data for every request

output_Run_Config.json.txt
config.json.txt

[kursataktas]

Hi @suvinad

1. Yes, that's true.
2. Ddosify marks the iteration/run as successful if and only if all the steps are successful. For example, let's say you have a scenario that includes 2 steps. If the result of these two steps is successful then we can say that iteration is successful. If any of the steps failed that means the whole iteration is failed. By the way iteration count(run count) represents the execution count of the Scenario(steps). You are supplying it as request_count in the config file. But we will change its' name to iteration_count.
3. As shown in the readme, load type determines the concurrent iteration per second across time.
4. Yes. For example, let's say request_count is 100 and duration is 10. Ddosify sends 10 concurrent requests per second for 10 seconds.
5. Not yet. It is in our road map and it will be available soon.
6. Just like the parameterization, this will be available soon. The parameterization/correlation concept will be like Postman.
7. The main difference is about performance. Ddosify is able to send more concurrent requests than JMeter. On the other hand, JMeter has GUI and more network protocol support. There are other pros and cons between them but it really depends on your use case to choose the right tool. If the UI is the only concerning thing, you can take a look at Ddosify Cloud when it is ready. Here is the Live Demo to see what it looks like.
8. I didn't understand the question. Would you be more specific?
9. No. I don't know any other load testing tool that does that too. I think this is out of the scope for load testing tools. You can achieve this by APM tools like Datadog / New Relic, etc. For example, start the load test and investigate the APM dashboards to find the bottlenecks.
10. No. Just like the previous question, I think this requirement is in the scope of APM or logging solution.

[suvinad]

Thanks @kursataktas for the reply

by point 8 i meant:

1. does the tool have a provision to show breakdown of each request and time taken
   example: registration on a website
   a.load registration page
   b.submit registration data ( here we will have a database connection between application server and web server update- would this time get captured, can this be shown)
   c.get response if registration succeeded

[kursataktas]

Output shows the aggregated results of each step.
For example, below one shows the logout step details.

Ddosify sends requests to the endpoints you provide. Then collects the metrics from the response and shows the aggregated report. Ddosify can't know what is happening between your application server and database.

                                                   -------- Your Server ------
                ---- request ----->                |                         |
DDOSIFY                                            | App  --- request -->  DB|
                <--- response ----                 |                         |
                                                   ---------------------------

Collecting metrics from your server is the responsibility of the APM tools.

Thank you @kursataktas
I think JMeter does this out of the box
