Load Testing Using Gatling

Gatling is an open source load testing framework based on Scala programming language. One of the advantage of Gatling over other load testing framework that I have used is that the code is very elegant and readable, thanks to its own DSL. One may not have prior knowledge of Scala to get started with Gatling. There are some documentation in the Gatling website which will help you write simple HTTP calls to your webservices but it gets bit difficult to incorporate the exact scenario of your test case because there are not much variety of example code which you can quickly edit and use.

Finally I found a site called SphereShare.net for this purpose. Following is the embedded photo I took uploaded in this site.

Similarly most of the Bengali words’ english meaning can be determined as follows

However the Bengali font size was so small that I had to Ctrl + “+” to make them properly visible.
I hope Only major remaining  language Oriya will follow up.
