Developer and QA-friendly tooling
The TypesScript SDK is written natively in TypeScript and provides all of the familiar TypeScript capabilities that developers and QA testers depend on to maintain clean, bug-free tests.
Take advantage of:
- Type definition support to work more efficiently with typed libraries and reduce debugging time.
- IDE syntax autocomplete to help ensure you call the correct function name in your script.
- Local text execution mode to debug and validate the test before deploying them to Gatling Enterprise.
Import and manipulate test resources
Load testing often requires handling vast quantities of test data, including data generated during the test used in subsequent steps. The TypeScript SDK lets you:
- Import packages and libraries to bring your existing test resources.
- Validate, store, and transform server responses.
- Programmatically import request data like authentication credentials.
- Add SLA thresholds to assess your application performance quickly.
Convert browser actions into TypeScript tests
The TypeScript SDK has a built-in web recorder for capturing user scenarios and converting them into load test scripts. Some key features include:
- Capturing browser-based actions like clicks, inputs, and natural pauses between actions.
- Handling SSL certificates for HTTPS requests
- Create clean, minimalist scripts with filters for unnecessary requests like .css files.
- Convert tests from other tools into Gatling scripts by importing HAR files
