The Modern .NET Show From Chaos to Control: Anton Moldovan on Load Testing with NBomber
This episode of The Modern .NET Show is supported, in part, by RJJ Software's Strategic Technology Consultation Services. If you're an SME (Small to Medium Enterprise) leader wondering why your technology investments aren't delivering, or you're facing critical decisions about AI, modernization, or team productivity, let's talk.
Show Notes"Another thing which I also observed is that there is some benefit to be able to run your load test in your native... using your native platform, libraries, protocol access; those type of things. Because in our case, for example, we use Orleans and it's a proprietary protocol which doesn't exist in in Java in Scala language. The same about, almost the same, was about Signal R: Microsoft released SignalR for Java, but the quality of this library was different."— Anton Moldovan
Hey everyone, and welcome back to The Modern .NET Show; the premier .NET podcast, focusing entirely on the knowledge, tools, and frameworks that all .NET developers should have in their toolbox. I'm your host Jamie Taylor, bringing you conversations with the brightest minds in the .NET ecosystem.
Today, we're joined by Anton Moldovan to talk about load testing, advice for testing strategies, and how NBomber can help you to load test your applications. Are you sure that your application can handle 4 million users at once? Better load test it before you start boasting.
"We call this type of test, like, "user journey." Like, end-to-end simulating user journey across entire applications. So end-to-end, end-to-end flow, end-to-end tests. But this type of test they they have some downsides."— Anton Moldovan
Along the way, we talked the different types of testing involved in getting your application for production, the many different ways that NBomber (or other load testing suites) can help you prepare for that, and Anton helps us understand a little more about functional programming.
