Payload

Written by

Updated at July 1, 2024

Payloads are used by load generators for testing applications. A payload can be any relevant data that can be used to test your application. For example:

  • Sets of names of test scripts that the load generator should execute.
  • Sets of SQL queries for loading the database.
  • HTTP requests to be sent to the server.
  • Different parameters for the same request.

The testing tools uses Pandora and Phantom load generators. Available data types depend on the formats supported by the load generator you select.

Types of payloads:

  • URI
  • URIPOST
  • PHANTOM
  • RAW
  • HTTP_JSON
  • GRPC_JSON

To store payloads, you can use Yandex Object Storage. In this case, a data file is uploaded to a bucket and remains in the user's cloud.

Note

To handle large amounts of data and ensure maximum security, we recommend using this particular method of storing payloads.
