I would certainly be interested in such a webinar. On Jun 12, 2010 1:04 AM, "Frank Cohen" <[email protected]> wrote:
Hi Everyone: The upside of JMeter's protocol-focused testing is tremendous scale. One can run thousands of test cases concurrently in a computer of modest proportions. The downside of this approach is that protocol-level testing is much more difficult to apply to Web applications that maintain stateful operations in the client. Many new systems I work with have data persistence, event mechanisms, server daemon-based logic, custom business logic, and desktop integration in a client running in the browser. Emulating all of this in a protocol driven test is very difficult. At PushToTest we implemented a test architecture using the Htmlunit headless browser framework. Htmlunit runs the client, including Javascript from an Ajax application, just as Firefox or Internet Explorer does. We can easily instantiate hundreds of Htmlunit instances in the memory of a test running machine. The downside to this approach is the need for more load test running boxes to achieve your virtual user counts because of the significant extra overhead. There is a good alternative now available from PushToTest. TestMaker now runs JMeter tests. This enables you to combine protocol driven tests with SeleniumHtmlunit tests in one test use case. For example, a test use case composed of multiple test steps runs a JMeter test, then shares the set cookies and other values with a Selenium tests. I would be happy to organize a live group Webinar-style meeting to show off the new integration and discuss enhancements. Please let me know your thoughts. Thanks. -Frank On Jun 9, 2010, at 7:00 PM, Deepak Shetty wrote: > Hi > well not exactly. > An AJAX request is i... -- Frank Cohen, http://www.PushToTest.com, phone 408 871 0122 PushToTest, the open-source test automation company Twitter: fcohen, LinkedIn: Frank Cohen
