One of the big goals for testing tools and a test suite in OFBiz is to have tests that can be automatically run periodically by a server, and preferably something that only requires a checkout, build, run tests.

At this point we haven't a test tool that will fulfill this and other things we'd like in an Apache compatible open source license.

As for WebLoad, it would depend on the licensing requirements of the scripts it generates as sometimes those or parts of them are licensed similar to what generates them.

Hi David,

Even if we do not include webload with ofbiz its not a problem, since we
can just include the test suites created for it.

I wanted to use JMeter (which can be obviously bundled with ofbiz), but its not as polished as webload. Also webload is thick client application
and would require it to be installed on load machines, so it would be
good if we just include the test suite and let the users download it
themselves and test the application in their environment. Since at last
its upto the users to do the test based on their specific functional
requirements. Obviously we can use Webload to publish out performance
test results based on specific hardware and software configuration.

So GPL licensing won't pose any problem for us as we are not changing
the source of webload just using it as it is. Moreover we are not
bundling it with ofbiz (there is no need its better if user download by
themselves as it is pretty big application).

Thanks
with best regards,
Vikrant

That's great Vikrant. Especially as we start working on stabilizing the
release branch testing in general will be very important.

Unfortunately WebLoad is GPL licensed. What that means is that not only
can we not include it with OFBiz, but we can't even include code that
uses it in OFBiz (because it would have to be GPL licensed, and if other code used it that code would have to be GPL licensed... the viral effect
can kill our more friendly licensing).

Hi Everyone,

I have started working on creating a performance test for ofbiz along
with its development. I am using the tool http://www.webload.org/ to
do functional as well as performance testing. I could have done this
in Selenium or JMeter but it seems webload is polished, easy and now
is open source.

If anyone else has some performance figures for ofbiz please would you

share with me.

Thanks
with best regards,
Vikrant
