README
`oa` (short for ["ooh ooh ah ah"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yb8ZAP5JCuk)) is a simple command-line tool for monkey testing frontend applications.
[Monkey testing](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monkey_testing) is a technique in which random click, input and keyboard events are sent to an application to test its resilience. In other words, as if a monkey was using it. Monkey testing can also be helpful for adding an increased load to the application to debug performance and memory bottlenecks.
Unlike other load testing tools, `oa` uses [Puppeteer](https://pptr.dev) under-the-hood to run your website in a real browser environment. While the browser is hidden by default, you can choose to show it via the `--show` flag.
**Disclaimer: this tool is intended primarily for use on local websites. Attempting to run `oa` on a hosted website, especially one you don't own, is a good way to get your IP blocked.**
## Installation
Until official binaries can be released, the easiest way to install `oa` is from Deno itself:
```bash
deno install --allow-env --allow-write --allow-read --allow-run --allow-net https://deno.land/x/oa2
```
## Usage
Using `oa` is fairly straightforward. You can test a website using the default options by just passing the URL to the command:
```bash
oa http://127.0.0.1:8080/login
```
## Flags
`oa` supports a few flags to customize its behavior:
| Name | Alias | Description | Default |
| ----------------- | ----- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------- |
| `--show` | `-s` | Show the browser window while testing. | `false` |
| `--num` | `-n` | The number of monkeys/instances to run. | 1 |
| `--duration` | `-d` | The duration to run the test. Supports human-readable times such as '5m', '1 hour', etc. | 10s |
| `--header` | `-H` | HTTP header to pass to the browser. Can be used multiple times. | |
| `--cookie` | `-c` | Cookie string to pass to the browser. Can be used multiple times. | |
| `--skip-links` | `-L` | Skip clicking on links. | `false` |
| `--skip-inputs` | `-I` | Skip filling in inputs. | `false` |
| `--skip-clicking` | `-C` | Skip random clicking on the page. | `false` |
| `--skip-buttons` | `-B` | Skip clicking on buttons. | `false` |
| `--filter-links` | `-l` | Only click on links that contain the provided string. | |
| `--config-file` | `-F` | Path to a configuration file. | |
## Configuration File
You can also pass a `oa.config.json` configuration file to `oa` to specify the above options as well:
```json
{
"$schema": "./oa.schema.json",
"url": "http://127.0.0.1:8080/login",
"show": false,
"cookies": [
{
"name": "Key",
"value": "Value",
"expiresIn": 5000,
"domain": "facebook.com"
}
],
"headers": {
"Key": "Value"
},
"targets": {
"links": {
"enabled": true,
"filter": "/read/1"
},
"buttons": {
"enabled": true
},
"inputs": {
"enabled": true
},
"clicking": {
"enabled": true
},
"typing": {
"enabled": true
}
}
}
```
In this case, you just need to run `oa` to start the monkeys. Unless the `--config-file` flag is used, `oa` will look in the current directory for a `oa.config.json` file.
