Oliver is right. I knew someone who tested an in-house app that had google maps embedded and within a very short period of time all access to google was shut down for several days by google. They treated it as a DOS and had every right to do that. Every vendor or third party service has the right to shut off access the minute you run your test especially against their production system with whom customers are using it.
Oh yes Oliver is very right and you may get sued. Have a happy short career. -Tony ----- Original Message ---- From: Oliver Lloyd <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Mon, July 4, 2011 4:04:30 PM Subject: Re: Facebook login using Jmeter Facebook App huh, thought so. You do not need to test Facebook to test your App, you don't want to and actually won't be able to. You can record the requests using FB but then you should remove them and only keep those against your own host, you might need to spoof things like facebook_id or some json strings with user data in but on the whole it's very unlikely your code will depend on dynamic responses. There's really no point testing 3rd-party sites, you won't gain from it and they won't appreciate it. And, arguably, it's bordering on illegal. It's certainly outside their terms of service. If you really feel you need FaceBook (I have never known this to be true) but if it makes you feel better there's a some companies around that will work with you to 'pretend' to be Facebook. Just google it, you'll find them. -- View this message in context: http://jmeter.512774.n5.nabble.com/Facebook-login-using-Jmeter-tp4550589p4551421.html Sent from the JMeter - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
