Question

Is there an easy way to automatically enforce goals like “This service must support 1,000 transactions per minute” in daily build tests for Java? Is this ever done in JUnit or are there caveats to it?

Answer 1

You can’t do exactly what you are looking for but you can do the below using JUnitPerf.

JUnitPerf tests are intended to be
used specifically in situations where
you have quantitative performance
and/or scalability requirements that
you’d like to keep in check while
refactoring code. For example, you
might write a JUnitPerf test to ensure
that refactoring an algorithm didn’t
incur undesirable performance overhead
in a performance-critical code
section. You might also write a
JUnitPerf test to ensure that
refactoring a resource pool didn’t
adversely affect the scalability of
the pool under load.
