Meeting 1: February 2nd, 2026¶

What Got Done¶

Created hello_cli¶

• I chose clap (Command Line Argument Parser) because it seems like it is the most common, supported, and documented crate for CLIs
• In short, clap is a Rust library (crate) that takes the arguments the program receives from the shell, parses and validates them, and then gives some data structure/output

• clap has two high level layers

  • Definition layer: how you describe your CLI with arguments, flags, subcommands, etc via Rust structs or a builder API
  • Parsing layer: At runtime, clap reads argv, matches it against your definition, validates input, returns output

• Resources:

  • https://docs.rs/clap/latest/clap/
  • https://blessed.rs/crates
  • https://crates.io/
  • https://rust-cli.github.io/book/index.html
  • https://rust-cli-recommendations.sunshowers.io/

tms_loadtest Testing Suite¶

• This is almost done
• Features of the test suite:
  • Ability to chose to test a single endpoint or all of them
  • Ability to test different phases of testing:
    • Smoke: A small test to confirm everythings working
    • Ladder: A sequence of runs gradually increasing concurrency
      • Users scale
      • Iterations stay constant
    • Spike: Lots of users at once doing a small amount of requests
      • Not sure if this is really possible because of launching time of users with Goose
    • Soak: Long test to catch leaks at a expected amount of load
    • If you don't specify, it will do all tests, or you can choose just one test to run

What's Next¶

• Finish testing suite

  • I still need to work on finalizing the testing data points I want to use and displaying the results in a nice readable way — it is in a state of working as intended right now though with all the options discussed ealier

• Start working on debugging getkey in tms_loadtest
