I have a fairly broad question. We are using Jmeter for performance and stress testing and have been successful with it. Most of our Jmeter scripts are fairly hardcoded, although there are a few places we've driven test data from CSV files.
But I've been stymied when creating more complex scripts to do functional and regression testing. You can do some crude things using CSVFiles and loops (and the IF controller will be a big help), but in general making reusable, data-driven scripts is very cumbersome and involves lots of hacks. We are using Jmeter to test a web-driven application with reports, config interfaces, etc., and not a relatively static website. So, my question is: 1 - Is there an equivalent tool to Jmeter to do functional testing (other than HTTPUnit, which is too low-level) 2 - Do folks see Jmeter evolving in this direction? It would require adding more controllers (the IF controller is a good start), reusable subroutines, some variable operations, more options to read from CSV files (and XML files!), and other gizmos that the commercial tools have. A little would go a long way here, and I might start to add things on my own, but I didn't know if anyone had an overall vision of Jmeter going this direction. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
