Quick Start - Load Testing Script

What Happened?

The script was using student names instead of CPIDs because:

CSV column is "Student CPID" (with space)
Script was looking for "cpid" or "CPID"
When not found, it used the first column ("First Name")

✅ FIXED: Script now correctly extracts CPID from "Student CPID" column.

How to Run

1. Basic Test (2 students, visible mode for debugging)

python scripts/load_test_e2e_assessment.py --students 2 --csv students_with_passwords_2025-12-10T12-00-33.csv --no-headless

2. Small Load Test (5 students, headless)

python scripts/load_test_e2e_assessment.py --students 5 --csv students_with_passwords_2025-12-10T12-00-33.csv

3. Medium Load Test (20 students, 5 concurrent)

python scripts/load_test_e2e_assessment.py --students 20 --csv students_with_passwords_2025-12-10T12-00-33.csv --concurrent 5

4. Large Load Test (50+ students, 10 concurrent)

python scripts/load_test_e2e_assessment.py --students 50 --csv students_with_passwords_2025-12-10T12-00-33.csv --concurrent 10

Arguments

--students N: Number of students to test (required)
--csv FILE: Path to CSV file (required)
--concurrent N: Number of concurrent students (default: 5)
--no-headless: Run in visible mode (for debugging)
--headless: Run in headless mode (default)

CSV Format

Your CSV should have:

Student CPID column (or cpid, CPID)
Password column (or password, PASSWORD)
Other student data (First Name, Last Name, etc.)

What It Does

For each student:

✅ Login (smart password handling)
✅ Password reset (if needed)
✅ Profile completion (if needed)
✅ Complete ONE domain assessment (all 5 question types)
✅ Submit and provide feedback

Expected Output

🚀 Starting flow for: SC309TB0284 (Vijaya Reddy)
✅ Completed: SC309TB0284 (Vijaya Reddy) - success - 245.32s

🚀 Starting flow for: SC3010A037W (M N Suresh Narayanan)

✅ Success: 2/2
❌ Failed: 0/2
⏱️  Total Duration: 245.32s
📊 Average per Student: 122.66s

Troubleshooting

"User not found" error

✅ FIXED: Script now correctly extracts CPID from CSV
Verify CSV has Student CPID column
Check CPID values are correct

High failure rate

Reduce --concurrent value
Check backend server capacity
Verify network stability

Browser crashes

Reduce --concurrent value
Check system RAM (need ~500MB per concurrent student)
Use --headless mode for better performance

Status: ✅ READY TO USE - CPID extraction fixed!
