Generating test data in JIRA
For many production JIRA instances, it is often important to understand how it will per-
form under an anticipated load, how well it scales as the usage grows, and whether the
hardware will be able to support the anticipated growth.
This can be tricky for new installations, as an empty JIRA cannot realistically provide any
performance indication. In this recipe, we will look at how we can generate any arbitrary
amount of test data to simulate an anticipated data size. For example, we will be able to
measure the average response time and how long it takes to reindex the system.
Note
Use this recipe in your test environment. Do not use this in production.
