Load Test Plugin for Test Mix
Published (2009-11-27 12:45:00)
Hi Is it possible to change the test mix during a load test, for example with a load test plugin? I had a look at the ILoadTestPlugin, but all I was able to modify was the number of concurrent users (using a load profile). Cheers, Alex

Question about concurrent users
Published (2009-11-24 11:32:00)
hi, I read thru your posts and your is a specific requirement. if you have 5 users and if its mentioned the iteration as 1 then the test will be executed only once. I understand the " Iteration" term as the no of times the webtest is executed, irrespective of the number of users you use to simulate the load. thanks, Liju Please mark as answer if this answers your question

Hi, This seems to be random where none of the test times is shown (same for the performance counters graphs) while the load test is in progress (table is completely cleared). I need to stop the restart the test several time, in certain cases, in order to be able to view the response times. Other wise the tests will continue so till the end of the run and the summary will show me no results. I am using vs2008 with win2008 server. running the...

Hi Alex, Yes, you can do this by using something like...        mLoadTest.TestSelected += new EventHandler<TestSelectedEventArgs>(mLoadTest_Test Selected) and hooking into the selection event from the Initilase method of a LoadTestPlugin.

Hello Alex, When you run your load tests, any information gathered during a load test run may be stored in the Load Test Results Repository, which is a SQL database. The data shown in all graphs are based on the data in the database. In addition, if you want to review the test result which contains the custom graph, you may utilize the 'Manage Test Result' funciton. More detailed information, ...

Hello, Based on your description, when you mention 'set up a performance test that will produce the same load ', you mean you want to run the same iterations of tests during the process of load test running. If so, we could only use 'Test Iteration' instead of 'Run Duration' to achieve the goal. If you set the length with 'Run Duration', the load test engine will run test one by one ...
