The 72 hour Stability Test for Policy XACML PDP has the goal of introducing a steady flow of transactions initiated from a Test Client server running JMeter. The transactions will be submitted through the PDP REST API. Two tests shall be executed, one for config policies and one for operational policies. The flow for each of these two test cases will be as follows:
- Create a policy
- Push the policy
- Update the policy
- Push the updated policy
- Delete the policy from PDP
- Delete the policy from PAP
Each test case shall be executed in a loop. The loop is configurable to execute a defined number of times or indefinitely. For the purposes of the 72 hour stability test run, the loop shall be set to infinate and the process manually terminated after the 72 hours has elapse.
JMeter records to the response to each request to the PDP REST API. Additionally, the JMeter Performance Monitor plugin is used to measure the memory and CPU usage of the PDP and PAP processes.
