  • SSH into the Amazon EC2 machine

ssh -i yourkey.pem ec2-user@11.111.11.11

  • Download Apache JMeter

wget https://downloads.apache.org/jmeter/binaries/apache-jmeter-5.6.3.tgz

  • Extract the downloaded compressed file

tar -xzf apache-jmeter-5.6.3.tgz

  • Move folder into the /opt/ folder

sudo mv apache-jmeter-5.6.3 /opt/

  • Set JMeter environment variable and path

export JMETER_HOME=/opt/apache-jmeter-5.6.3
export PATH=$PATH:$JMETER_HOME/bin
source ~/.bashrc

  • Download and install custom JDK

yum search java | grep "17"
sudo yum install java-17-amazon-corretto.x86_64

  • Copy certificate and test plan into the AWS EC2 machine

sudo scp -i yourkey.pem certificate.pfx ec2-user@11.111.11.11:/home/ec2-user
sudo scp -i yourkey.pem yourtestplan.jmx ec2-user@11.111.11.11:/home/ec2-user

  • Download JMeter plugins manager directly into the /ext folder; else, download and copy into the EC2 machine from your local machine

cd /opt/apache-jmeter-5.6.3/lib/ext
curl -O https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/kg/apc/jmeter-plugins-manager/1.9/jmeter-plugins-manager-1.9.jar

or

sudo scp -i yourkey.pem jmeter-plugins-manager-1.9.jar ec2-user@11.111.11.11:/opt/apache-jmeter-5.6.3/lib/ext

  • Download Throughput Shaping Timer plugin from the link and copy the below mentioned jar files into the respective folders

sudo scp -i yourkey.pem jmeter-plugins-tst-2.6.jar ec2-user@11.111.11.11:/opt/apache-jmeter-5.6.3/lib/ext
sudo scp -i yourkey.pem jmeter-plugins-cmn-jmeter-0.7.jar ec2-user@11.111.11.11:/opt/apache-jmeter-5.6.3/lib/

  • JMeter Test runner with certificate and it’s password exporting results into the .jtl file

jmeter -Djavax.net.ssl.keyStore=/home/ec2-user/certificate.pfx -Djavax.net.ssl.keyStorePassword=111111 -n -t /home/ec2-user/yourtestplan.jmx -l /home/ec2-user/results.jtl

  • Copy results.jtl from AWS EC2 machine into the local machine

sudo scp -i yourkey.pem ec2-user@11.111.11.11:/home/ec2-user/results.jtl /local-machine-path/

  • Generate HTML report from the generated results.jtl file

jmeter -g /local-machine-path/results.jtl -o ./destination-folder/

Create an EC2 instance | Terraform

This post helps you to create a basic EC2 instance (free tier) through Terraform AWS provisioning DSL scripting language
  • Download Terraform CLI
https://www.terraform.io/downloads.html
  • Extract and move terraform inside bin folder
mv ~/Downloads/terraform /usr/local/bin/

terraform version
  • Create a new project and a file with extension .tf
  • Copy and paste the below script
provider "aws" {
version = "~> 2.0"
region = "us-west-2"
shared_credentials_file = "~/.aws/credentials"
profile = "prashanth"
}
data "aws_ami" "amazon-linux-2" {
most_recent = true
owners = ["amazon"]
filter {
name = "name"
values = ["amzn2-ami-hvm*"]
}
filter {
name = "architecture"
values = ["x86_64"]
}
}
resource "aws_instance" "test" {
ami = "${data.aws_ami.amazon-linux-2.id}"
associate_public_ip_address = true
instance_type = "t2.micro"
}
view raw create_ec2_machine.tf hosted with ❤ by GitHub
  • Now, initialize terraform
terraform init
  • Compile the terraform file for any issues
terraform plan
  • Finally apply terraform
terraform apply -auto-approve

  1. Set temporary RVM environment setup
    2. source /var/lib/jenkins/.rvm/bin/rvm

    or

    source ~/.rvm/bin/rvm
  2. Create rvm gemset and switch to it
    3. rvm gemset create test
    rvm gemset use test
  3. Install the ruby libraries
    4. gem install bundler
    bundle install
  4. Run Selenium cucumber tests
    5. cucumber features/scenarios/**/*.feature
  5. Finally, apply changes

Skip the manual temporary RVM environment setup [Optional]

  • Go to Manage Jenkins > Manage Plugins, click on the Available tab
  • Enter rvm in the filter
