Implementing DevOps with Microsoft Azure

By: Mitesh Soni

Overview of this book

This book will teach you all about the Visual Studio Team Services and Microsoft Azure PaaS offerings that support Continuous Integration, Continuous Delivery, Continuous Deployment, and execution in the cloud with high availability, disaster recovery, and security. You will first be given a tour of all the concepts and tools that Microsoft Azure has to offer and how these can be used in situations to cultivate the DevOps culture. You’ll be taught how to use and manage Visual Studio Team Services (VSTS) and about the structure of the sample application used throughout the book. You will become familiar with the nitty gritty of Continuous Integration and Continuous Development with VSTS and Microsoft Azure Apps. You will not only learn how to create App service environments, but also how to compare Azure Web Apps and App Service Environments to deploy web applications in a more secure environment. Once you have completed Continuous Integration and created the Platform for application deployment, you will learn more about the final stepping stone in achieving end-to-end automation using approval-based Continuous Delivery and Deployment. You will then learn about Continuous Monitoring, using the monitoring and notification options provided by Microsoft Azure and Visual Studio Team Services.

Load testing using a URL-based test and Apache JMeter


Once we have deployed our application in Azure App Services successfully, we can perform load testing on Azure App Service or Azure Web Apps. Let's see how we can use VSTS to perform testing.

URL-based test

In the top menu bar, click on Test and then click on Load tests. Let's create our first test in VSTS and execute it:

 

  1. Click on +New and select URL based test:
  1. Verify the HTTP method and URL:
  1. Click on Settings and provide inputs in different parameters based on need:
  1. Click on Save and click on Run test:
  1. Load testing is in progress:
  1. Verify the complete test data as and when it is available in the VSTS portal:
  1. Verify the final summary of URL-based test execution in VSTS:
  1. We will also get the Performance and Throughput charts after the test execution in VSTS:
  1. Verify Tests and Errors related details too:

We have seen how the URL-based test can be performed on Azure web application. In the next section, we will cover how to use Apache JMeter for load...
