I am trying to designate a loadtest that incorporates multiple agents, where one agent runs a specific set of webtests and the other agents run other webtests. Why can't the test mix set scripts by agent machine? This would be easier than trying to create a plug-in to manage this. Any workarounds that can be done to quickly set this up?

We are just indroduced to Visual Studio Team Test Load System in our company.

I want to know what all the counter I can set here. Like if I want see whether Network in slow or Application or may be problem is in my machine.

How can I setup that.

Also want to know I can find application's break point.

Again how?

Plaese reply.

Mark, in our next release (dev10) we have added the ability to specify a list of agents per scenario. I'm curious, why do you want to control this?

re: Web and Load Testing with Visual Studio Team System

edglas — Mon, 23 Feb 2009 16:32:56 GMT

Amita, probably the best way to find the breaking point is by using a stepping load. Step the load up until you see throughput go down, response times go up. Or until the server starts generating lots of errors.

By default the standard counters -- cpu, memory, disk, and network -- are included in each of the counter sets. There are thresholds set for cpu and memory. Network is somewhat trickier, you will need to look at the network counters to understand if you are reaching the capacity of the network card.

Amita, one more thing, there's an article on the analyzer you'll find useful here: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa730850(vs.80).aspx

Hi Amit,

I recorded my login page and when I played back it showed Object Moved Here. And not able to find out the user name and password parameters. Please help.

re: Web and Load Testing with Visual Studio Team System

Prasad Patel — Thu, 05 Mar 2009 17:12:48 GMT

1. Object moved :- Is this an error or a notification of the response redirection?

2. How to export load test in .CSV file?. i would be greatful for the answer. It would be great if someone can tell the excat steps.

In your article you mentioned that reports are saved in SQL server " All of the data is stored in SQL server, so you can use your favorite tool to report on the data ". I have a LoadTest project and how do I look which SQL server it is connecting to and saving the reports. The project was not created by me and I do not know how to create either. In fact the testers in this project, run the load test and from the report they pick only couple of columns for reporting. And my task is to automate the process of picking only couple of columns. I was suggesting of a .NET utility(a console app ) which will pick report details from SQL server and save to excel. Is there any easier way to do it. Please help.

Hi Hema,

Have you got the answers to which you have posted?? because iam also getting the same and iam using this tool for the first time. Can you Help me???

re: Web and Load Testing with Visual Studio Team System

Amit Chatterjee — Sat, 28 Mar 2009 15:28:36 GMT

Hema, what you are reporting is a redirection and not necessarily an error. Many times webforms causes this redirection when it does authentication.

Could you post your question to our forum with any additional details about your error so you can have a broader range of people helping you with any issues

You can find our forum here http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vstswebtest/threads/#page:1

re: Web and Load Testing with Visual Studio Team System

Amit Chatterjee — Sat, 28 Mar 2009 15:30:32 GMT

Prasad, I am not sure what you are asking here. Are you looking to export the data to CSV? If so you have some better options. Please see the reporting project on codeplex http://www.codeplex.com/loadtestreports

Also, see my comment on Hema's question posted just ahead of this

re: Web and Load Testing with Visual Studio Team System

Amit Chatterjee — Sat, 28 Mar 2009 15:31:39 GMT

Sarvotham, the SQL server is specified on the controller that you are running the load test in. Please see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms243400(VS.80).aspx on MSDN for instructions.

For reporting I recommend you look at the reports we have on codeplex as a start http://www.codeplex.com/loadtestreports

re: Web and Load Testing with Visual Studio Team System

Amit Chatterjee — Sat, 28 Mar 2009 15:32:18 GMT

Rangarao, is not necessarily and error but it is an indication you have been redirected. Most browsers handle this automatically so you never see it happen. If you search our forum http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vstswebtest/threads/#page:1 you can find a variety of reasons this might happen.

Hi,

Would anyone be able to shed some light on threshold violations for % Time in RT checks threshold, and how to configure them?

Does this counter have substantial effect on the load testing?

Thanks for the help

Wanderson — Tue, 02 Jun 2009 22:49:32 GMT

Hi Amit,

I’m using de Visual Studio for Tester and had a problem.

I made a Web Service (WCF) that saves a new entry in data base.

After, I made a UnitTest that calls the WebService and returns success if the return of WebService is different of null.

After, I made a Load Test that have five simultaneous users (virtual) and only one interaction.

I ran the load test with success, but I expected it would be recorded five entries in the database, one per user (virtual).

But when I ran the load test, only one entry was recorded in data base.

This behavior is correct? If yes, why?

I searched for more information of architecture of the Load Test of Visual Studio, but don’t find.

You have articles or links that explain how works the Load Test?

Thanks.

Jaswanth — Sun, 11 Oct 2009 17:08:38 GMT

Hello Amit,

I am new to software testing, so please apologize for my lack of knowlegde in the same.

Scenario:

Step 1: A new user registers himself by supplying his information on a website and presses a submit button.

Step 2: From the server side, an email is generated with a link to click for confirmation and sent to the user.

Step 3: The user clicks the link and logs himself on to the site to confirm.

Problem: I have to automate the scenario as webtest. Till the 1st step, everything was done well(I hope) by preparing a *.csv file with random usernames and binding it to the webtest so that the username's formpostparameters access the *.csv file and chose the usernames for registration randomly. Once a username is chosen and registered, an email is generated with a confirmation link so that the user clicks it and logs onto the website to confirm his registration. The link has a 16 characters long randomly generated ID(specific to the username). My problem is: how to integrate this link as a request into the webtest so that the webtest automatically supplies ANY username for registration, clicks the Email link, login the user for confirmation when ever the test runs.

I have searched for this problem on internet but I could not found any. Please help me with Ideas and suggestions. By the way I am using Visual Studio 2008 professional.

Thanks in advance for any kind of help.

Kind Regards
