Webload Forum

As I thought initially, Radview has finally removed their forum from www.webload.org. Just because webload has closed their forum, they can't stop the community. So I am planning to kick start the blog to help webload community. Also i have started the webload group. Details are given below.

Group Address: http://groups.google.com/group/performance-testing-using-webload
Current email address: performance-testing-using-webload@googlegroups.com

Cheers,
Thiru

  1. So nice to see this!
    Recent time, I've tried to build WebLOAD opensource by following the build-procedure which is enclosed in Core Engine, but it seems not make sense much. Build process got failed even the prerequisite and third party tools are as requested.
    The problem is the .bat files are not mapped with the folder structure, so that many of libarries have not been copied or extracted to the proper destination folder when processing.

    I wondered whether I've missed some of understanding about build process? All I have now is the guide in the Core Engine.

    Any one experience on this, please comment and advise something?

    Look forward to your answer!
    Many thanks
    Quynh

  5. Radhika,
    Lot of friends tried rebuilding the open source code and none of them are able to succeed. I guess build procedure is not complete.

  8. Whe creating login scripts and web search functions, should a "test" user login and password need to be created for each virtual user? I'm using WebLOAD professional. In the tutorial there is a global input file created with three user name and password. When the load was eventually run, the ending virtual users were 100. Does this simulate real life?

    Thanks

  9. Thomas,
    In real life, every user will have different usernames & password(atleast in most cases). If same is the case for you, you need to create as many user that you want to simulate.

    Thanks,

  10. I am testing a web applican that has hidden elements. While I can see them in the DOM view, I cannot seem to locate the corresponding javascript code in the execution or agenda tree. Could this be imbedded in a URL that I might have to parse out?

  15. Hello,

    I am beginner to WebLoad. I'm getting trouble as below
    My IE (IE8.0)is always crash every time I start IE. So, the browser I am using is FF. However, when recording in WebLoad, the application starts IE. So, my question is "Is there any way to start FireFox browser from WebLoad instead of IE?"
    Thanks

  18. Hi,
    We have started using Webload,Like to you whether enhancing scripts is possible or not

    ReplyDelete
  19. Ganesh -

    Enhancing scripts is all I do : )

    Right now, I'm writing a script from scratch, as it's not possible to record the HTML traffic (they are using an Excel add-in that sits on HTTP, but it's not browser-resident).

    jim p.

    ReplyDelete
  20. How are you tracking traffic? HTTPWatch is a good tool.

  22. Hello...
    i'm using WebLoad but once i recorded the scenario and run in webload ide i get always the same problem, i think caused by session id...
    i tried to resolve the issue using a local variable as suggested here:
    http://www.radview.com/DownloadCenter/whitepapers/SessionManagementinPerformanceTesting.pdf

    but i cannot solve the problem, in the example mentioned in the link above:

    var sid = extractValue( "SID=", "", document.links[0].search)


    but i dont understand where the sessionID is passed?
    using document.links[0].search i get again the same problem, so how to know where cacth the sessionID?

    Great Thanks in advance

  28. Hi all,

    I am new to Webload. We have existing scripts in my organization to test the performance of application. Now I am trying to run the scripts getting this error message.
    “Message: Com error occurred while calling function Open, Reason : Exception occurred. Exception Source : ADODB.Connection Exception Description : Provider cannot be found. It may not be properly installed.”
    I gone through the error in google I find this information verify whether the “msjet40.dll” file is there or not. I have this file in my local.
    Is there any configuration need to do to run the script? Please any one guide me.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Hi Thiru,

  30. Please consider using probing client to get response time. If you don't have probing client license or enough machine to run the probing client, you have following options
    1. Try tweaking thread related setting in global/agenda settings.
    2. contact radview.

    ReplyDelete
  31. Hi Thiru,
    Yes,we contacted with Radview pupil,We checked Global settings which Radview was sent to us.but still the response time is very high.
    Pls suggest some other options.
    One more thing,is webload 8.4 and 8.1 is stable version compared to webload 5.0?

    ReplyDelete
  32. Webload 5 is the stable version among the list that you have provided(atleast as far as i know). Regarding high response time, only Radview can fix this. We have no other but to rely on them for solution. There are couple of options in front of us.
    1. Radview fix the problem and provide patch
    2. Use webload 5
    3. Consider switching to other tools.
