Configuration

The dcos-perf-test-driver is congured through a human-readable YAML configuration file. This file defines the steering parameters for the test harness and the parameters to passed down to the classes that compose the overall scale test.

Ideally, the task of every class should quite abstract and can be configured into fit any testing scenario. In detail, there are two major configuration groups:

• The Global Configuration Statements configuration – that is used by the test harness and the reporting services in order to steer the test process.
• The Per-Class Configuration Statements configuration – that provides detailed configuration for every class plugged into the harness.
