re: Web tests work at the HTTP layer

Hello,

I have a question regarding this topic.

I have a page that contains ReportViewer control to show reports. When I execute it withing a browser the report takes about 30 seconds to build. When I try to do it through web performance test the response time is about 1 second. In addition it shows message about javascript "Your browser does not support scripts or has been configured not to allow scripts". According to this topic this is completely fine.

But, it looks like it even doesn't start to build report as it checks for javascript support first. My question is - is there any way to test it through web performance test? (coded UI is not an option). I profiled requests with fiddler, but don't see anything interesting that can be executed.

I noticed that in fiddler version 2.4.2.6, the dependent requests are not placed under the primary request on the exported webtest file anymore. Is there a reason for this and how can i do this? I tried creating a fiddler webtest plugin but the existing VSWebTestExport does not even write out DependentRequests node.

Hi Sean,

I am trying to use your code snippet for Heartbeat event with some customization. Here is what I am doing. I need loadtest to read my UserLoad.txt only if there was an occurance of another event( eg: existence of another file in some location) If not it should just take the default load. Here is the code -

using System;

using System.Collections.Generic;

using System.Linq;

using System.Text;

using Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.LoadTesting;

using System.IO;

namespace LoadTestPlugin1

{

public class Class1 : ILoadTestPlugin

{

LoadTest m_loadTest;

string m_fileName;

public void Initialize(LoadTest loadTest)

{

m_loadTest = loadTest;

m_loadTest.Heartbeat += new System.EventHandler<HeartbeatEventArgs>(m_loadTest_Heartbeat);

//initialize the file name

if (m_loadTest.Context.ContainsKey("FileName"))

{

m_fileName = m_loadTest.Context["FileName"].ToString();

}

else

{

m_fileName = @"c:\Userload.txt";

}

void m_loadTest_Heartbeat(object sender, HeartbeatEventArgs e)

{

int load = -1;

if(File.Exists(@"\\dcmstor01\data\rvishwa\failover.txt"))

{

load = GetUserLoadFromFile();

if (load != -1)

{

m_loadTest.Scenarios[0].CurrentLoad = load;

}

private int GetUserLoadFromFile()

{

int newLoad = -1;

try

{

using (StreamReader streamReader = new StreamReader(m_fileName))

{

string load = streamReader.ReadToEnd();

try

{

if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(load))

{

newLoad = int.Parse(load);

}

catch (FormatException)

{

//ignore

}

catch (IOException)

{

}

return newLoad;

}

If I being the run and there is a file present, it does read my UserLoad.txt and set the user load to whatever is in the file. But if I delete this file while the run is ongoing, it does not revert back to the default load. it still keeps the load from the userload.txt which has been deleted by now.

what am I missing here ?

Thanks,

Rohan.
