Re: Stress Load AJAX web application
Thanks a lot !!! After I decided to test our application i'm was looking something like http client with js support (and AJAX features). I had a look at HttpUnit - as i saw it's have a limited js support (am i wrong ?). Starting from srcratch I have considered commons-httpclient... but how about JavaScript ? I have found Rhino - an open-source implementation of JavaScript written entirely in Java. So, it's probably can work for me. At other side I can try to write firefox extension (i have a little experience in this field) for forcing browser to walk around my web-application and POST-ing test data. Also i have found The AJAX Toolkit Framework (ATF) Project at http://www.eclipse.org/proposals/atf/. But it's only proposal now. Frank, at standard tools I mean Apache Benchmark (ab) or HttpUnit. Maybe it's a bad word or bad understanding of what is standard tool, i don't know ;) I saw the demo and i have to admit that WebLoad is amazing tool !!! Ross, i'm not familiar with ruby at all, but maybe have to. Ruby on Rails is pretty thing as i now. Dave, I know that it's possible to test separate client-side and server side, but all together is better. I'll try all of tools you suggested. One more question : is there something similar for linux ? Windows is not a problem, but I'm on linux box. Thanks again, very helpful ! P.S.

Re: Stress Load AJAX web application
OpenSTA is similar to WebLoad, and has worked fairly well in the past. It does not appear to be cross-platform though, a fact I didn't know until 10 seconds ago. http://www.opensta.org/ I'm a little confused with what your trying to accomplish, based on some of the things you named below... are you trying to do stress testing or unit (functional) testing? There is usually some overlap between the two, but by and large things like httpclient, Rhino and HTTPUnit tend to be more functinoal testing than stress testing. OpenSTA and WebLoad are more stress (load) testing. Like I said, there is some overlap. -- Frank W.

The problem is principally that Rhino tries to implement the EcmaScript spec, which is not at all what Internet Explorer does. There are significant differences, especially in the Document Object Model. You'll run into the same issue when testing with Firefox. Since you're running on Linux, IE is not an option, and Watir is not yet an option. Perhaps Selenium (http://www.openqa.org/selenium/) would help. - George http://wwwidiacomputing.com/ - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Take a look at http://wtr.rubyforge.org/. I use it a little bit, might do what you want. Ross Stas Ostapenko wrote: Hi ! I have a Struts based web application where we using a lot of AJAX things.

Re: Stress Load AJAX web application
Why wouldn't standard load-testing tools work? Something like OpenSTA or WebLoad where you can record a script and play it back, altering the virtual user load? I wouldn't think AJAX would really make a difference, as long as the tool's recording facility captured everything (some are better than others at this in my experience). -- Frank W.

Well, what part of the system are you testing? If you're testing the server, then http requests are all you need. The fact that XML is returned doesn't really have anything to do with testing the server. Otherwise, maybe jsunit is of use to you: http://sourceforge.net/projects/jsunit/ -Dave - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
