Stress test and Load test using Nightwatch.js or other tool

I have a quiz tool and I want to see how can I test this for 100 simultaneous users. This quiz tool have JS for its front-end and the JS is calling RESTful API.

I have some tests running on for trivial stuffs like login in Nightwatch.js for my web application but the question is how it can guarantee a number of simultaneous users?

As far as I'm aware none of the load testing tools will execute JavaScript, so the options are in:

  • If you need to simulate load directly on front-end and check rendering speed as well as REST backend performance you should go for browser-based testing using i..e Selenium Grid
  • If you think that simulating the load on REST backend will be enough you can simulate the load using i.e. SoapUI or Apache JMeter.

Personally I would combine above approaches i.e. created the main load with SoapUI or Apache JMeter and checked JS frontend client-side performance either manually using something like YSlow or in automated manner using Selenium depending on if there is an adhoc activity or something which will be executed on the regular basis.
