What are you trying to performance benchmark again? AJAX requests from Selenium to the server? Or something else (or something else in addition to the AJAX requests)? Like Javascript processing/rendering time, etc.?
And what kind of scalability targets are you trying to achieve? Some average/max response time? Some give hits per sec against the server? W/o that info, it's hard to tell if what you want to test is viable in JMeter or Selenium, etc. On Mon, Feb 4, 2013 at 3:27 PM, Zippy Zeppoli <[email protected]>wrote: > The problem is Selenium has no performance testing harness. > Sucks that it seems BrowserMob (paid solution) is the only solid option. > > Until someone builds something with Phantom.js, but it seems JMeter isn't > going to cut it here. > > On Fri, Feb 1, 2013 at 5:40 PM, David Luu <[email protected]> wrote: > > > You'll need to figure out what the complex javascript does.
