Session 1 – Robustness Testing with Brigade of Monkeys

Mirko Ebert (@mirkoebert)

After some years with a commercial product, OTTO decided to develop their own E-Commerce shop. As one outcome of this early shop, the software design team recognized that non-functional requirements are internal quality factors of the Scala / Clojure / Java based software.

The new version of the robustness test framework Brigade of Monkeys (BoM2) is an example of polyglot programming. It uses, for example BASH, R, Ant, JavaScript, Python. The new version of BoM2 is Open Source and under heavy development.

In Mirko's session, he will show how OTTO tests, and measure loads, performance and robustness of the new shop. Especially, the focus is on robustness testing.
