  • Old endpoint: /api/course_structure/v0/courses/{course_id}/blocks+navigation
  • New endpoint: 

    /api/courses/v1/blocks/?course_id={course_id}&user={user}&depth=all&requested_fields=graded&requested_fields=format&requested_fields=student_view_multi_device&block_counts=video&student_view_data=video

  • The loadtest environment has been set up differently which have better response times for mongo queries. 
  • There may have been some performance changes since the test. To adjust for this, we will rerun the tests for the old endpoint.
  • course-v1:edx+DemoX.1+LT_SPLIT and course-v1:MITx+6.002x_6x+1T2015 were not available this time around so equivalent courses were used as the replacement.
  • The old tests did not use the edx fork of locust, the new test will also not be using the edx fork. 
  • Numbers of users: 2
  • Wait time: 1000ms
  • Endpoint/courses are requested on an even distribution.

 

Notes:

  • Nit: Need to modify test since the course/endpoint didn't cycle properly.
