Best Practices

Guidelines for effective testing with mockpoint.

Scenario Design

• Start simple — Begin with bootNotification and heartbeat to verify connectivity
• Add delays — Use sleep steps to simulate realistic timing
• Gradual scale-up — Test with 1 charger before scaling to hundreds
• Monitor CSMS — Watch CSMS logs/metrics while running scenarios

Performance Testing

• Baseline first — Run with 1 charger to establish baseline latency
• Scale incrementally — concurrency limits depend on license tier and hardware
• Use JSON logging — Parse logs programmatically for metrics extraction
• Monitor resources — Track CPU, memory, network on both client and CSMS
