@SebastianFabian@Daniel_Larsson Noted. Shall remove the traffic (the metric log is good enough for us to gather the response times).

The ResponseTime field in the output log file - is in nanoseconds - is my understanding of this correct.

Hi all,
I have probably a stupid question, sorry if it is the case.

I don't get why there are 2 concurrent Scalability tools.
If the purpose is to use it on a windows environement, when should we prefer Qlik Sense Enterprise Scalability Tools vs Qlik Sense Scalability Tools ?

I have seen that we can only conduct performance tests with Qlik Sense Enterprise Scalability Tools, so I also want to pre-cache some apps, I will install Qlik Sense Scalability Tools. But for load performance tests, which one should I prefer ?

Thanks

Patrick

Hi!

By reading this thread I see that running the tool uses actual users and consumes actual licenses.

So if we would like to test our environment we need to set up a Test copy of our Prod environment.

Could we then use our Prod license in the Test environment also or do we need to ask for a specific Test license?

(We are on the Signed license model if that has any importance)

Hi Patrick,

It is a valid question, and I’m sure this isn’t clear to everyone. Qlik Sense Enterprise Scalability Tool (QSEST) is our latest offering and this is where our tool development work mainly is happening, hence this is the tool for the future. A main difference and advantage that comes with QSEST is that it can run from Windows, Mac or Linux whilst Qlik Sense Scalability Tool (QSST) is windows only. If you are new with the tools I suggest you go for QSEST. The only key functionality that exist in QSST which is not yet supported for the QSEST is the regression capability.

Is there any prepared Sense app to anlyze the logs? Also any way to setup schedules to run test? i.e. check differnces in performance during the day

The QSSTAnalyzer Sense app is compatible with Gopherciser/QSEST text executions, see the following topic: https://community.qlik.com/t5/Scalability/Scalability-Results-Analyzer/td-p/1493648

There is no built-in scheduler but gopherciser (the underlying test tool) is fully operational as a command-line tool so it can be scripted with cron, bash, the Windows scheduler or any number of other solutions. See the documentation for Gopherciser, included with the QSEST package.

Thanks for reply.

Found earlier how to schedule so that is up (https://github.com/qlik-oss/gopherciser/blob/master/docs/availability-testing.md)

Also had a look at QSSTAnalyzer, but since I only have the .tsv files that didnt look like good option.. Will have to built something myself then

Great!

The analyzer should work fine even with just the TSVs - just that some of the visualizations may not be available.

Hi Daniel,

We are trying to use this tool to do performance testing with QlikSense hosted on Google Cloud Environment where authentication is SAML. Can we use scalability too to connect with QlikSense on GCP?
