Automated Performance Tests ¶

Requires Production Plan

Your application's critical user journeys can be protected by assessing their performance regularly.

Blackfire provides an easy way to describe custom scenarios and when evaluated, Blackfire will trigger a profile for every URL described in all the steps and scenarios.

As for all profiles, the matching assertions will be evaluated, and all the results will be grouped in a convenient report.

Scenarios are written in .bkf files using the Blackfire Player DSL:

1

11

name "Website Pages Check"

scenario
    visit url('/pricing')
        name 'Pricing page'
        expect status_code() == 200
        assert metrics.sql.queries.count < 10

    visit url('/docs/introduction')
        name 'Documentation'
        expect status_code() == 200

An online validator can help you validate the syntax of your .bkf files.
