Posters is a demo store made by Xceptance. It's a simple fake web shop that is fully functional. The shop is part of Xceptance Load Test (XLT) the test automation and load test tool.

In order to run the posters store you need to download and extract an XLT copy.

Now execute either start.cmd (Windows) or start.sh (Linux, MacOs) and wait for the process to finish loading. You can now open the posters store in your browser by navigating to https://localhost:8443/posters/

NOTE: on Linux/MacOs you might need to set the executable flag for start.sh before you can run the script

Maintenance

Reset database

To reset the database stop the server and delete the ./samples/app-server/data folder. After that start the server again. That will recreate the database with default values.
