Load Testing Introduction
In order to help you getting started with loadUI we have created a sample project that helps you understand how loadUI works and how you set up loadUI tests. The project consists of four TestCases, we’ll walk through them here. A lot of the information you can find here, can also be found inside the TestCases where we use the Note Component to document the TestCases.
Preparations
Before you can run the Sample Project you need to install loadUI. Download it here.
About the Project
We would like to point out that the Sample Project will not bog down your network or in any other way make external calls. It will only use a local simulation of a Web Page and a Web Service.
The Project also simulates tests that you have created in soapUI, loadUI’s sibling.
Let’s get going!
You can start The Sample Project two ways;
- In the Getting Started Wizard
- By Double Clicking the Sample Project in the Projects List
When you have opened the Sample Project, you will see the TestCases in the Project. In The Sample Project you have four TestCases of increasing complexity and showing different feature sets in loadUI.
- Getting Started
in the TestCase 1. Simple Web LoadTest - Assertions and Logging
in the TestCase 2. Assertions and Logging - Schedulers and Generators
in the TestCase 3. Complex Load Generation - Controlling Flow
in the TestCase 4. Complex Load Scenario
Let’s move on and look at one of them. Double Click on the Getting Started TestCase.
