Talk: Simulant in Anger; an Experience Report

Ryan Neufeld's talk at Clojure/West is about Simulation Testing using Simulant.

Background

Simulation Testing is a systems based testing methodology where a series of actions are randomized but repeatable and then the outcomes are recorded and observed. The actions can simulate realistic load on the system. The library for that in Clojure is Simulant.

Hear more information on episode 59 of the Cognicast where Michael Nygard talks about using Simulant. When researching this topic I found what looks to be a simple example testing an API with simulant.
