Jmeter is an excellent tool for performance testing, especially given the price. It does however have a small number of limitations. One of those is the lack of a decent analysis, results and reporting engine – which I guess is why a lot of companies use Blazemeter as their testing component. Another limitation in my […]

I’ve encountered an issue recently where in a loadrunner script, I wanted to execute a number of requests of one type, followed by a number of requests of another type, followed by a number of requests of a third, and subsequently fourth and final type. The whole thing is four blocks looping in sequence inside […]
June 14th, 2013 BlogAdmin Recently, I’ve encountered an issue with an AUT where it crashes VUgen during the generation stage of a recording session. Now I’m a big fan of record-edit-playback. I find the recording and generation logs hugely useful and I find that recording is the easiest and quickest way to get a view of the application. I […]

I’ve been working in Lithuania for the last 3 months. It’s cold over here. To keep warm (and paid), I’ve been writing some loadrunner scripts for a Scandinavian bank. One of them seeks to emulate a customer paying cash into their account. As you’d imagine, this is a high priority, high usage script so I’ve […]
February 2nd, 2010 BlogAdmin Matt: So I’ve got around 10 years experience with Loadrunner, am well-versed with Winrunner, can code in half a dozen languages and still I never got around to learning QTP. Well now I have no choice since we’re using it at my latest client site. The aim of this article is to provide guidance in […]
January 14th, 2010 BlogAdmin Matt: So, Selenium is an open-source toolset for testing web-based applications. It can be found here. I started working with Selenium recently and I though it’d be an interesting post to document how I went from novice to competent user. One of the interesting features of Selenium is that is can be used for performance […]
