Main achievements for year 2012
- enhancement of the CLIF plug-in for Jenkins continuous integration server
- wizard for importing a full CLIF test project with a single click!
- improved automatic reporting
- brand new, full-fledged, DNS load injector, including DNSSEC support and a dedicated data set provider
- new "Quick Stats" feature: per-request type statistics, aggregated through all load injectors, generated as a single CSV-formatted file once measures are collected
- debug and improvement of the interactive analysis and reporting tool
- new SelfBench tool box: controller components providing smart benchmarking features (for advanced users)
- automatic saturation detection (SaturationController) according to threshold policies on response times or resource usage
- self-driven load injection (InjectionController) according to a queuing model-based regulation algorithm
- further work on the SVN branch based on the ProActive middleware, applied to community cloud-based load testing with CLIF.
This work was carried out by Orange Labs (CLIF project) and ActiveEon (ProActive project), and was presented at OW2's Annual Conference in November.
This work won the Special Prize from OW2's Technical Committee. See the Community CLIF presentation
- background research work: CLIF execution on cloud computing/virtualized infrastructures, PhD on self-optimization (in French) with CLIF+SelfBench
Results for year 2011
- beta version of the new interactive analysis and reporting tool available from the SVN trunk
- new production release 2.0.7, coming with:
- extended Synchro ISAC plug-in for synchronization between distributed test scenarios
- optimized and enhanced deployment to support large scale test plans: more than 1000 distributed load injectors (with an average deployment time of 100ms per load injector), support for partial deployment, deployment time-out
- new development branch based on the ProActive middleware to bypass some networking issues (routing, firewalls...) and provide CLIF as a service on a community cloud
- technical talk about an SOA use case of CLIF at OW2's annual conference, 24th November 2011 in Paris
- background research work: CLIF execution on cloud computing/virtualized infrastructures, self-regulated load injection
