gRPC Support

Loadmill supports gRPC-based testing. You can easily create gRPC test flows and validate your services in the same streamlined process as with other protocols.

Usage

To execute a gRPC request:

• Go to the relevant test flow within your Test Suite.

• Set the Request URL using grpc://<dns> (replace <dns> with your target service’s DNS). Typing grpc:// will automatically adjust the request settings for gRPC usage.

• Once the gRPC protocol is detected, Loadmill will automatically extract and offer gRPC method options based on the uploaded .proto files.

gRPC Method Selection

Loadmill automatically offers the available gRPC methods after recognizing the gRPC protocol and parsing your .proto files.

Go to Service Definitions section:

Inside, create a new Service Definition, and upload your .proto file/s.

The service definitions will be parsed, and method names will be extracted.

To configure service definitions for use in your flow:

• Click on the three dots on the top right

• Choose "Configure Service Definition"

• Pair your Service Definition to your Test Flow

Once the service is paired, the methods will be automatically offered within the flow editor.
