+# Performance Testing for Topcoder Connect App
+
+## Description
+
+Topcoder Connect is a web application that makes it easy to tap into the power of crowdsourcing to get more work done faster. Connect is ideal for projects that include application design and/or development work. You can crowdsource the entire application development lifecycle or just the specific stages where you need help. Common deliverables include application wireframes, UI/UX designs, prototypes, MVPs, and production-ready apps for any kind of device—mobile, wearables, or the web.
+
+## Dependencies
+
+- Jmeter maven plugin 2.9.0
+- Maven  3.5.2 
+- JDK between 8 and 11
+
+## Prerequisite
+
+- We have already included the workflow into the circleci conf file with the usual dev builds.
+
+## Directory Structure
+
+- .circleci (Circleci configuration file)
+- \src\test\jmeter - Includes the JMX file(s) and CSV data files
+- pom file
+
+### **Setup and Runtime**
+
+Add the plugin to your project: Add the plugin to the build section of your pom's project
+
+```
+<plugin>
+    <groupId>com.lazerycode.jmeter</groupId>
+    <artifactId>jmeter-maven-plugin</artifactId>
+    <version>3.2.0</version>
+    <executions>
+        <!-- Generate JMeter configuration -->
+        <execution>
+            <id>configuration</id>
+            <goals>
+                <goal>configure</goal>
+            </goals>
+        </execution>
+        <!-- Run JMeter tests -->
+        <execution>
+            <id>jmeter-tests</id>
+            <goals>
+                <goal>jmeter</goal>
+            </goals>
+        </execution>
+        <!-- Fail build on errors in test -->
+        <execution>
+            <id>jmeter-check-results</id>

+            </goals>
+        </execution>
+    </executions>
+</plugin>

+
+This simple load test is already integrated with the current build process

+```
+
+- Hold [Performance-Testing] - This is the approval job we needs manual interaction.
+- It requires  `build`, `deployDev` and `deployProd` jobs to run first.
+- Actual performance testing job is `Connect-Performance-Testing` and it requires `Hold [Performance-Testing]` job to finish.
+
+### **Configuration**
+
+<img src="https://imgur.com/0WNB89y.png" alt="">
+<img src="https://imgur.com/rdP3t77.png" alt="">
+
+This performance test is for 15 virtual users. The parameters for this test plan is as below;
+
+- Start Thread Count
+- Initial Deplay, sec (Startup Time + Hold Load For)
+- Startup Time, sec (Start Thread Count = Startup Time)
+- Hold Load For, sec
+- Shutdown Time (Next row `Initial Deplay`)
+
+**Formulas:**
+
+```
+Initial time of a record = initialtime + start up time/ramp-up time + holdtime of the previous record
+```
+
+```
+start up time/ramp-up time = Shutdown time/ramp-down time of the previous record
+```
+
+This setup is configured to run 6min with 15 UVs.
+
+**Token Details**
+
+- `audience` - https://m2m.topcoder-dev.com/
+- `grant_type` - client_credentials
+- `content-type` - application/json
+- `client_id` - jGIf2pd3f44B1jqvOai30BIKTZanYBfU
+- `client_secret` - ldzqVaVEbqhwjM5KtZ79sG8djZpAVK8Z7qieVcC3vRjI4NirgcinKSBpPwk6mYYP
+
+To extract the token we are using the variable `access_token`
+
+TO pass the `access_token` varaible globally we are using the beanshell Assertion
+
+`${__setProperty(access_token, ${access_token})};`
+
+**Random Controller**
+
+We are using Random Controller to randomize the requests sent to the server to simulate the different request.
+
+**Think Time**
+
+We are using this parameter to implement a random wait time in betweent the request to simulate the real user experience.
+
+**HTTP Requets**
+
+- Access Tabs - Simulate user accessing different tabs
+- Access Projects - Simulate user accessing different projetcs
+- Assets Library (Link Insert) - Add Links to the projects
