Steps to create and run a performance test in LoadUI Web

1. Create a Test Project 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Record a User Scenario View the Recorded Scenario Verify Recorded Scenario Create a Load Test Run Your Load Tests Analyze Results

Prepare for an new load test through New Project Wizard

Start with Create New Project Wizard Select File | New | New Project

Create your load test with LoadUIWeb

Enter a Project name and click next

As of now subsequent pages of the wizard will not be needed and can be skipped

Click Finish

Test Project

LoadUI Web will automatically generate the path for the project file and display it in the Location field. The project folder is used to store all information generated for or by the project: scenarios, tests, test log files and so on. You can change the projects folder in the Location box.

Next step is to record scenarios. To do this..

Click Record User Scenario on Test Engine toolbar to open Record User Scenario Dialog Enter the name of the single-user load test to be recorded Provide the URL to be recorded and browser to be emulated

Record traffic and Generate the scenario

After LoadUI Web has started the recording, it will display the recording toolbar.. LoadUI Web will also launch the web browser you have selected in the Record User Scenario dialog Perform the application actions in a simple sequence of expected actions as by end-user Once recording finishes click Stop on the Recording toolbar to stop the recording. LoadUI Web will process the recorded requests, generate the scenario and display it and the created website load test in the Workspace panel.

Once finishing the recording, verify the scenario runs successfully without errors for single virtual user

Right-click the scenario in Project Explorer Select Verify Scenario

Once verification is successfully completed you are ready to create a load test simulating multiple users

Checking the Textual Response on a Webpage

Create a data selector that will extract the needed data from a server response to a variable, and Define a validation rule that will compare the variable value with the desired data.

Parameterize requests or send various data for request parameters to make virtual users behave like real-life users with different parameter values.
Double click on Scenarios(Project Explorer) Specify the variable name and click on Next. Select Variable type as LoadUI variable

Parameterize requests or send various data for request parameters to make virtual users behave like real-life users with different parameter values.
Specify the type of variable to create.

Set parameters specific for each variable type..

Generate the items of the variable to create.

Set parameters specific for each variable type..

Select the access type of the variable.

LoadUIWeb detects correlated parameters in server responses and client requests and automatically creates rules for extracting data

LoadUIWeb can correlate some dynamic parameters automatically correlated.. The parameter is contained within common HTML requests and responses For same parameter name and value in both the response and subsequent requests. Parameter is used in at least one subsequent request within the same scenario.

Correlate results with responses by extracting data from the server responses and insert into subsequent request

Manual Correlation Right Click the scenario in the project explorer panel and chose edit Create data correlation rules Insert as parameter into subsequent request

Correlate results with responses by extracting data from the server responses and insert into subsequent request

Make LoadUIWeb to use extracted sessionID from the response Insert the extracted Parameter Session ID into subsequent requests

Create a new test or modify the single-user test by adding more virtual users to it and provide necessary data.

Load Profile - Select the workload profile for virtual users: steady, stepwise ramp-up or custom.

Once done with load test configuration, Run This Load Test from the test editor tool bar or from navigation pane

Provides with information on the number of simulated virtual users, the number of errors and warnings that occurred during the run.

Full test results are displayed automatically in the Workspace panel after the test run is over
