Hi,
We've recently started gatling for our perf-test execution as an alternative to LoadRunner based tests. So far the experience is pretty good. Thanks for this great tool.
Is there any option to enable or trigger a batch process from within a simulation?
Usecase:
We have UI or REST service tests which run and in between we want to load or run our scheduled jobs at regular intervals. In LoadRunner world, this is not possible, so we do this manually when the LoadRunner execution happens. Was wondering if some option is available to just allocate a vUser at some time to make a 'java' method call and wait on it until it completes. I'm aware that gatling will not be able to trap the request/response timing etc for such scenarios, but detailed level of analysis is gathered via our perf-logs.
Thanks,
Jebu.
