Abstract
A software testing framework provides functionality for utilizing pre-existing tests to load and performance test a network service. Methods can be tagged with annotations indicating that they are tests, such as integration tests. The methods implementing the integration tests can also be tagged with other types of annotations that can be used to select individual tests for use in testing, such as annotations indicating whether a test is a positive or negative test, annotations specifying dependencies upon other tests, or annotations indicating that a test is a member of a test suite. The annotations can be utilized in conjunction with test selection criteria to select individual integration tests for use in load and performance testing of the network service. The selected integration tests can be deployed to and executed upon load-generating instances to execute the integration tests and generate requests to the network service at high throughput.
