Part 5: Produce sample data for performance testing

Everyone knows Magento 2 has a powerful command-line interface tools (CLI). It permits you to complete task including installation, configuration, database backups, compiling LESS etc. Here I will show you how to Produce sample data for performance testing using command-line in Magento 2.

• Magento 2 has provided the recital toolkit which aids us to produce sample data for testing performance. It places at [Magento_folder]/setup/recital toolkit. You must view the README.txt in recital toolkit for more information.
• There are four profile in recital toolkit which is used to produce different data size: small,medium,large and extra large. You can see configuration files of these profiles in folder/setup/recital toolkit/profiles/ce.

<?xml version="1.0"?>

-->

<config>

    <profile>

        <websites>1</websites> <!-- Number of websites to generate -->

        <store_groups>1</store_groups> <!--Number of stores-->

        <store_views>1</store_views> <!-- Number of store views -->

        <simple_products>800</simple_products> <!-- Simple products count -->

        <configurable_products>50</configurable_products> <!--Configurable products count (each configurable has 3 simple products as options, that are not displayed individually in catalog) -->

        <categories>30</categories> <!-- Number of categories to generate -->

        <categories_nesting_level>3</categories_nesting_level> <!-- Nesting level for categories -->

...

    </profile>

</config>

The above mentioned table describes you the size of sample data to produce in configuration file of profile. The below table show you the data size of all profiles.

• The following command to produce testing data

php bin/magento setup:perf:produce-fixtures {path to profile}
