Load Test What is a Load Test By
Load. Test
What is a Load. Test? By running multiple copies of the e. Valid browser simultaneously, e. Valid can impose heavy work loads on a Web. Server. You experience real performance, because there are no virtual users.
How Much Load? – How Many Users? Machine Characteristics P-III, 512 MB, 750 MHz at least 50 playbacks creating 50 users. P-IV, 1024 MB, 1000 MHz at least 75 playbacks creating 75 users. e. Vlite creates up to 10, 000 users. Your mileage will vary! Depending on the machine’s RAM capacity and CPU speed, e. Valid can launch and create load for 20 to 75 real users.
e. Vlite – Load for URL’s Only e. Vlite is used to exercise load on URL’s only. As it uses less server capacity, e. Vlite handles up to 1000 users per instance. This shortens the time of your test runs considerably.
How Is A Load. Test Performed? Create Script: Step 1 of 9 Begin the Load. Test process by creating one or more Functional Tests.
How Is A Load. Test Performed? Create Script: Step 2 of 9 Make sure the functional tests are complete and reliable before incorporating them in a Load. Test script file.
How Is A Load. Test Performed? Create Load Script: Step 3 of 9 Next, select Load. Test > New Load. Test to begin constructing a separate Load. Test script.
How Is A Load. Test Performed? Load. Test Script Generator: Step 4 of 9 Use the Load. Test Script Generator to create a Load. Test Script. Each line that begins with “_e. Valid” launches a copy of e. Valid
How Is A Load. Test Performed? Save & Load Script: Step 5 of 9 Click the Save & Load Script button to transfer the script to e. Valid. The script window will be shown with the newly created Load. Test script.
How Is A Load. Test Performed? HTML Monitor: Step 6 of 9 Select Settings > Record/Play Preferences > Load Testing and click Display HTML Load. Test Monitor under Load Testing. This enables the Real. Time monitoring function.
How Is A Load. Test Performed? Start Playback: Step 7 of 9 Select Load. Test > Start Load. Test to begin the Load. Test. The Load. Test monitor will be shown along with the other e. Valid windows. This report illustrates 7 users.
How Is A Load. Test Performed? View Graphs: Step 8 of 9 When the test has completed, select Window > Graphs > Log Graphs. On the resulting page, select Load. Test button for Charts.
How Is A Load. Test Performed? Sample Load. Test Graph: Step 9 of 9 This Load. Test Graph shows the results for each of the 15 defined user types. Each color-coded bar illustrates the fastest, average and slowest completion time of each user type.
Load. Test Chart for 75 Users This Load. Test Chart shows the results of 75 browsers running in parallel.
Lessons Learned Using e. Valid’s load engine is an excellent way to test the performance of your Web. Site and server under heavy load sessions. You can see how multiple simultaneous requests are affected by the backbone of the Web, the design of your Web. Page(s), and the limitations of the server where your Web. Site pages reside. One can also gather data on how well your site performs when many users make requests for your Web. Pages.
