I am trying to stress test an ASP.Net MVC application using the WCAT tool. I get results when the WCAT client and controller are on the web server(localhost), but when I move the WCAT client to another machine, I get "404 Not found" errors. It seems that the WCAT client cannot make the http requests from the client machine even though if I type in the URL (on the client machine), I can access the website. This should rule out any firewall issues. What else could be the problem?
A:
Found the issue - when starting up the controller you must specify the server hostname (-a) and not "localhost".

Hi Yuben
For my knowledge, can you get me a sample of the files you had to write (scenario, settings etc) and the workflow of what you did to get this stress testing work please.
I am trying to do teh same, and i have some issues with the workflow of what needs doing - the documentation on WCAT is painful read.
Sorry - I was pulled off into another project before getting to use this tool properly. All I can do is point you to the resource that I used http://blogs.iis.net/chrisad/archive/2006/07/19/WCAT_3A00_--Easy_2C00_-Magical_2C00_-Stress-Testing-for-IIS-Web-Applications.aspx. hope this helps.

Cheers, i had taken a look at that erlier on, but that does not work at all with WCAT 6.3 since they have changed teh format of the settings and scenario files.Even with the sample files (new format ones) it always is returning me 404 code.It works only when i make the url (in the scenario file's transaction/request item) to "/".I am unable to point it to any other tjhing like "myapp/default.aspx" etc.Can you help please?
