Organising Workflows

Splitting tests into multiple files

You can split your tests into multiple files and include them in a workflow using include configuration option

WARNING

Make sure each test has a unique key, otherwise they will be merged/overwritten

workflow.yml

yaml
version: "1.1"
name: Status Check
env:
  host: example.com
include:
  - status.yml

status.yml

yaml
tests:
  example:
    steps:
      - name: GET request
        http:
          url: https://${{env.host}}
          method: GET
          check:
            status: /^20/

Performance tips

For the best performance, we recommend separating requests into separate tests, if these requests don't depend on the outcome of each other. This allows our runner to execute them concurrently, enabling greater performance for equal amount of requests

WARNING

Note that separate tests don't share context (like cookies) with each other

Example: Two status checks (as steps)

yaml
version: "1.1"
name: Status Check
tests:
  example:
    steps:
      - name: GET request
        http:
          url: https://example.com
          method: GET
          check:
            status: /^20/
      - name: GET request
        http:
          url: https://stepci.com
          method: GET
          check:
            status: /^20/
