Speed Test Tool

This repository is maintained by Qlik Customer First. It includes scripts and instructions on how to perform speed tests to a Qlik Cloud tenant.

STEP-1 Generating Upload Test Files

1. Download Create-Fake-Data-File.ps1 to the server where the upload speed needs to be measured
2. Open PowerShell and change directories to the folder where the script in the previous step was downloaded/copied to.
3. Run the command below. 3 files should be created, a 5GB file, a 10GB file, and a 20GB file with a QVD extension.

   .\Create-Fake-Data-File.ps1 -Sizes 5120,10240,20480
   

   • Please note that these are not real QVD files meaning that they cannot be loaded in a Qlik Sense app. They are intended to prevent network compression and produce consistent upload results.
4. Open a browser, the latest version of Edge or Chrome is recommended.
5. Log in to your Qlik Cloud tenant and go to the Analytics .Home
6. Open Developer Tools to start collecting a HAR file.
7. Upload the 5GB, 10GB, and 20GB files at least 2 times each.
8. Export the HAR file.
9. If you are working with Qlik Product Support, then upload the HAR file to your support case folder OR follow Step-2 to process results

STEP-2 Processing results of HAR

1. Download jq cmdlet using any windows package manager e.g. Chocolatey
2. Download "calc-qcs-upload-time.jq" to the server where the upload speed needs to be measured
3. Open PowerShell and change directories to the folder where the script in the previous step was downloaded/copied to.
4. Run the command below

    gc .\<har file> | jq -f C:\<directory>\calc-qcs-upload-time.jq
