Two Response Time Question

[Two Response Time Question]

1. Does this "run until all users complete" launch all users immediately? Or does it stagger the number of sessions? The results I'm seeing seem to show all users running at once with a bunch timing out and then retrying, is this accurate?

 

"Complete all open sessions" option means that after time of test is over all opened sessions should be executed to the end. A number of started users is regulated by "User Load" options.

 

2. More importantly, this one is throwing me off. Using just the first (main) page of this test as an example, I see zeros in the report for the time frames 00:00-00:55 and through 00:55-01:50. What this tells me is that the server did not respond with any data during these times, right? Then in the 01:50-02:45 time frame I see an average response time of 78.4 seconds... How could the response time have been 78 seconds if it's within the 1:50 to 2:45 time frame? Am I reading this wrong?

 

Average time is available only after whole request with all page elements was completed. Therefore you see results only in 1:50 - 2:45 time frame.

 

[maximum number virtual users]

The number of VUs that can be created during the test by each WAPT Pro load agent depends on several parameters including the hardware of agents systems, network capability and the tested server itself. For example, if typical response time is very short, the agent will have less time for preparing and sending subsequent requests. So, in this case each agent will create less simultaneous VUs. However this will also result in more user sessions executed during a time frame. What I am trying to say is that it is easier to create many simultaneous users for a slow site then for a fast one. Also, maximum number of concurrent VUs depends on the profiles that you use and the content of server responses. For example, a load agent will work more efficiently if typical server response is a short message, then if it is a 100kb HTML text.

 

Overall the average number is about 1000 – 2000 VUs per load agent. By the way, if you want, you can purchase additional load agents separately, if you see that your current configuration is insufficient.

 

WAPT works identically to WAPT Pro with a single load agent running on the same system.

["Stop Test" hangs the application]

I dont know if this is bug but when i lisent music then logout from the site and login again to site then restart the song on my winamp and she didnt play...its there a way to fix this ?

[erroneous Socket Error 10054 / TCP issue]

Keep alive problem was fixed in WAPT 6.0. Try the new version, please.

[Regular Expression]

Hi,

How to filter only .dat files in a folder using Get file names?

What is the regular expression that i need to give?

Thanks,

 

Could you explain in more details where and why do you want to use regular expressions?

[Emulate APEX App Server Session IDs]

If I understand you right you need to use functions concatenation for dynamic value calculation.

In places where the parameter is used you can change its value from a static string to some formula. For example, formula will be p= $Var(some_var1):$Var(some_var2):$Var(some_var3)

 

[WAPT Pro 1.0 limit of 17 profiles?]

The only outstanding issue I had was adding more than 6-7 profiles to a scenario at the same time, I receive an error message as the program seems to attempt to shut itself down. (Ex. load up a scenario, right-click and say add profile, select around 10 and click ok, error)

 

We will fix this problem in the next build.

[Server Utilization %]

Regarding server utilisation reports is the bellow true to identify bottlnecks

 

Processor\Processor Time \%. CPU activity in percentage.

If this counter (divided by the number of processors) has a sustained value of five or more threads, there is a processor bottleneck.

 

If server is optimized and multithreaded that CPU utilization must be 100% for a lack of CPU, I think.

 

Physical disk\Disk Time \%.

More than 55% for continuous periods indicates a bottleneck.

 

WAPT monitors free disk space.

[Client / Server Testing with WAPT Possible?]

Ok thanks Sergei, on for the purchase then...

 

I think try trial version before buy is a better idea.

[Client / Server Testing with WAPT Possible?]

Yes, if they use HTTP for communication.

[WAPT Pro 1.0 limit of 17 profiles?]

Any updates?

 

We made some fixes. Please, try a new build from http://www.loadtestingtool.com/forum/builds/WAPTPro1.0.zip and let me know about results.

 

 

[webservice load testing by WAPT]

You can change a header of any particular request. Just click "HTTP Headers" button in a request properties tab and add SOAPAction header.

[Creat a dynamic string]

Hi, George

 

In the current version of WAPT you can initialize a variable by random value from an external file and use it as URL path. But the file should contain already formed URLs. In the next version of WAPT Pro you will be able to use java script and build URL path dynamically during a test.

 

[WAPT Pro - Collect SQL performance counters statistics]

ok..i know how to do it now.

 

on my local pc, need to create a dsn that references database on server

then call it from wapt pro

 

Yes, you are right. You should configure system DSN on a computer where WAPT Pro Interface is installed.

[SSL3.0 setting gives SSL2.0 requests]

SSL 3.0 is backward compatible with SSL 2.0. Therefor, in initial SSL 2.0 request client says that SSL 3.0 is supported. If server supports SSL 3.0 they continue with SSL 3.0.

[SilverLight screen recording]

Sorry, but current version can't record Silverlight requests.

Probably, it will be available in next version.

[ability to copy a page from one profile to another]

You can use drug and drop for it. Select page, press Ctrl and drop a copy of page to desired profile.
