Simple Gatling setup with Maven

Just add the following maven pom snippet to your project pom.xml.

Create maven style project structure of src/test/scala. As per the example below your default simulation class is com.company.project.MySimulation. If you want to create different name/package pass -Dsimulation= to execute that simulation.

All of the properties mentioned in the pom can be overridden via command line using -D option.

Execute mvn test to run your gatling performance simulation.
