This lab runs a load generation script for TicketMonster. The script simulates real user actions by utilizing the PhantomJS and CasperJS framework. While PhantomJS is a headless web browser scriptable with JavaScript, CasperJS allows you to build full navigation scenarios.

Install the following tool(s):

• Docker

1. Switch to the load-generation directory.

2. Build image using Docker.

   docker build -t <your dockerhub account>/loadgeneration:latest .
   docker images
   

1. Usage of load generation script:

   usage: loadgeneration.sh <target URL> <duration in minutes> <[clients/minute] | [empty = random number of clients (1..10) / minute] >
   

2. Start script using the container.

   docker run -d --rm <imageID> /bin/bash loadgeneration.sh <your-front-end-url> 10 15
