What are some good automated tools for load testing (stress testing) web applications, that do not use record and replay of HTTP network packets? I am aware that there are numerous load testing tools on the market that record and replay HTTP network packets. But these are unsuitable for my purpose, because of this: The HTTP packet for...
So I have tried this out on multiple computers with multiple setups (servers/apps) and I seem to consistently get Rails completing 8-15 requests per second even for doing selects on empty tables with 1 field. I think I'm doing something wrong here because I've read a lot of stats online where people are getting 60-200 with mongrel. So be...
I understand that VUGen's web_set_timeout function allows me to set a timeout value higher than the usual value (which seems to be 120 seconds). What I do not understand: Doesn't this imply that all users would have to set their browser http POST timeout config value to a new, higher value? Don't I then test with a (simulated/virtual) u...
There are a couple of sources for random in LoadRunner scenarios: rand () function Random think time deltas (runtime settings) Random pacing time components (runtime settings) Random parameters (as part of the VUGen test) I use those functionalities, and I could live with their pseudorandomness. I cannot, however, live with the fa...
I am trying to test our site with JMeter's access log sampler, using distributed testing across several load generators. On my local machine the test works fine. However, when I try to distribute it, then the test fails as the remote machines cannot seem to find the access log file that I want it to use. I have copied the file to the r...
Hi there, I have a VSTS project with a list of 30 LoadTest tests that I want to run sequentially. All tests are independent from each other. When I try to run all the tests, it starts with the first test and it executes it perfectly, but once the first test is finished, it automatically starts to mark the rest of the tests as completed,...
Hi All, Recently our application went for Load Testing and in the profiler trace of out DB we found out that the T-SQL emitted by the aspnet_regsql command ran for more than 341 times, whereas it must only for the creation of the Notification table and the SPs it uses for reading and writing values into this table. Does anyone have any ...

Hey all, I'm wondering what the importance of the connreset with httperf is. When testing a single webpage, I receive no errors. When using a simple .log file with several pages, I am getting 100% connreset errors. Suggestions on how to overcome this? ...
Good folks of SO, When load testing a basic web application, what sanity checks do you do other than expected response time? Is it fair to ask for peak memory usage? what other checks do you make? thank you ...
I would like to be able to click a button on a flash menu, programmatically. This means, unfortunately, that tabbing over to it or hard-coding the X and Y coordinates of the button will not work (due to using multiple threads, neither of these approaches works while running in the background). I tried doing this with Javascript, but au...
I wish to use JMeter to login to my site, run some reports and log out again as a load test. Is JMeter the best tool for this? I'm concerned it doesn't maintain the browser session between requests. ...
After recording just the appearance of the logon window of our Java app in LR/VUgen 9.51 using the RMI protocol, the resulting script replays with a java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException. The code fragment looks like this: _hashtable2 = new Hashtable(); _object_array3 = ((java.util.Collection)_hashtable2.values()).toArray(); _hashtab...

I want to test the claim that Microsoft has for Azure Table Storage Partitions. They say that they get 500 IOPS per partition... but I want to see for myself and also look at how the storage client library will react to an overloaded partition. Since I've seen various issues with the servicePointManager and other items regarding this,...
I recently recorded a test script in Jmeter intended for use as a load test script (using this handy set of instructions. The recording itself worked great and I even figured out how to grab and parametrize the session ids and timestamps. However, if I run the recorded steps just as they were recorded some of them don't work -- they ge...
