Simulating inputs for test

Modify loadtest.ini with parameters, in your custom test you can access settings via

var LoadTestingSession = require("./loadTestingSession.js");

/**
 * Build a custom test by creating a constructor of the 
 * form function CLASS( RedlineApi redlineApi, int testNum, string rand, object config )
 * And providing one method 
 * MyCustomTest.prototype.runTest( CALLBACK )
 * Where after your test is complete the callback is invoked CALLACK(err)
 * err should only be used if there was an error.
 */
function MyCustomTest(redlineApi, testNum, rand, config)
{
	// We need Redline API to report results, errors, requests.
	this.redlineApi = redlineApi;

	// Keep track of test information.
	this.testNum = testNum;
	this.rand = rand;

	// This is the test configuration file (loadtest.ini)
	this.config = config;

	// Hardcode endpoint, requires plugin to customize.
	this.url = this.config.url | "https://httpbin.org/status/200";

	// Would need plugin to customize instead of hard-code.
	this.minDelayMs = this.config.min | 500;
	this.maxDelayMs = this.config.max | 10000;
	this.delayRangeMs = this.maxDelayMs - this.minDelayMs + 1;

	// Would need plugin to customize from test.
	this.remainingIterations =  this.config.iterations | 1;
}

/** Run test */
MyCustomTest.prototype.runTest = function( redlineCallback )
{

Output

The load test will generate local information on performance results and errors.
