Introduction If you are a performance testing specialist or a QA Manager or Programme Manager or anyone involved in the production of quality software then you understand why performance testing is required and its benefits in ensuring your products meet your Quality Criteria for release into production.
Introduction Creating complex performance testing scenarios in JMeter can be a complicated but necessary problem you will encounter as you build tests to mirror real user behaviour in your testing. There are many add-ins that can support you in the creation of these scenarios. Which is good if they do what you want them to do.
This blog post is a tutorial for writing Gatling scripts to load test web applications. It follows our first getting started with Gatling simulation scripts article. The application under test is a fake e-commerce. We are going to create a Virtual User that browses articles in this shop. To create a dynamic load test we will cover several topics.
Gatling is a load testing tool for measuring the performance of web applications. As such, it supports the following protocols: HTTP, WebSockets, Server-sent events. Other protocols are also supported either by Gatling itself (like JMS) or by community plugins. Gatling load testing scenarios are defined in code, more specifically using a specific DSL. This guide focuses on the basics of writing a simulation to test an HTTP application: OctoPerf’s sample PetStore.
Nowadays, in the era of instant gratification, when everyone want everything in a matter of moments, understanding the performance of your website, web application, web service is more important than has ever been. Using web performance tools to understand how your application behaves is easy and a best practice that you should follow on a daily basis.
Selenium IDE is an open source record and playback tool used. Easy to use and fast in generating UI functional test cases. End to End testing is quite fast when you create tests from the Selenium IDE Chrome Extension or Firefox Add-on. Debugging tests, setting breakpoints, running an UI test to a specific test step work out of the box the new version of Selenium IDE. Test suites are available in order to group previously generated test cases, and exporting your test cases is a click of a button away.
TestCafe is a Node.js tool to automate end-to-end web testing. End to End tests cover real journeys that your customers do, they are slower to execute but can be much more valuable comparing to unit and integration tests. TestCafe is a Node.js tool to automate end-to-end web testing and functional testing. TestCafe uses a URL-rewriting proxy called Hammerhead that emulates commands using the DOM API and injects JavaScript into the browser.
Introduction We are going to talk about data in this blog post, predominately test data required for performance testing. This is something that makes the life of a performance tester extremely difficult and awkward as because of the huge quantities required, in the right state, that match the criteria required for your test to run. We often have to approach the use of large quantities data for the purpose of performance testing in a number of ways.
