Our javascript code does work on the server (AJAX), and the site
behaves differently on clients without javascript support. Since 90%+
of our visitors have javascript turned on, I need to do load testing
that way.
Testing the client javascript performance is a separate issue. :-)

I see jmeter as a way to exercise the server. So even if your app is
heavily javascript, if you are using jmeter, then arent you only
interested in the server side aspects? So just record a session, and
those requests will be the server load based on the javascript usage.
Thats what Ive done for the app I work on , and its very heavy
javascript. I can see Im doing the right thing, as the server logs
from the load test, are the same as what I would expect from a user in
a browser. Or am I missing something?

Having built-in Javascript support (and HTTPS proxy capture a la
PureTest) would be a godsend for us. I'm working on doing some load
testing of our web app, but it makes heavy use of HTTPS and
Javascript. So far it is proving very hard to make the JMeter load
match the "real world" activity.

I'm surely biased on this as I'm lead developer of HtmlUnit but I
really
think that a combination of JMeter & HtmlUnit (or WebTest) would

great possibilities in load testing of Ajax applications.
HtmlUnit "is" a browser that evaluates the JS (nearly) like normal
browsers do. But it is so lightweight that it is possible to run a
few
hundreds instances of WebClient (the "browser") in parallel on a
normal
computer.
I don't know what the current status is with Dojo support, but
complex
Ajax libraries are already supported by HtmlUnit and other will
come.
Cheers,

Is anyone using Jmeter to test a web application that uses Web 2.0
capability and specifically one that uses DoJo.
I have dealt with applications that make use of javascript before
and do this by simulating what the javascript does in Jmeter.
Now, with these heavily scripted applications, the job appears that
it will be more difficult as the amount of javascript executed is
very large.
I realize that recording is one option, but have found that this
does not work in alot of cases, because of the dynamic nature of
the javascript.
