Load test SharePoint Online

I'm putting in a critical solution for a company using SharePoint Online. It's pretty much out of the box, but the customer insists that a load-testing exercise takes place to ensure that when they go live with it, it will cope with their number of users
without falling over or slowing down too much. Test cases are fairly simple: browse to the site, search, open a document, maybe occasionally edit a document or upload a new one. Usage will be fairly intense from their point of view but nothing that I can see
SPO having any trouble with whatsoever. However I have to prove it.
Has anyone found a load-testing application that will work with SharePoint Online? The test platform must run on local machines to simulate requests coming from the company, so cloud-based testing is out. I have been trying with VS2013 Ultimate, and have
managed to get it to authenticate just one time, but mostly it refuses.
An automated test tool would also be useful for future regression testing.

The problem with "load testing" SPO is that you'll be throttled fairly quickly with a high load (similar to being throttled when attempting to migrate GBs of content to SPO). Since you cannot have any impact on the environment anyways, you would
have to contact Microsoft if you encountered a performance issue, but load testing isn't going to be an accurate gauge of that.

Tools for load testing SharePoint 2007

Please advice a tools, which i can use for load testing a SharePoint 2007. We had one issue with performance and want now to detect a reason. So i need to simulate a load testing with 500-600 users for one SharePoint page.
I have found some information, that i can use a Visual Studio Test Edition, but my level of MSDN subscriber has just a Visual Studio. May be there is another free tools for this...

Performance testing for SharePoint online site

Hi,
Is there any tool available to perform performance and load testing for SharePoint online site.
Thanks

Hi Senthu, have you seen this link? In it there's a link to a selection of programs you can use. Be sure to read Trevor's caveat:

Linked Excel files on Sharepoint Online

Has anyone found a work around to having linked excel files on SharePoint Online?
Right now in all my tests, SharePoint Online disables the links in my excel file to cells in another excel file and I cannot find anyway to change the links.
This is a pretty basic function that is used extensively in excel so I'm a little surprised that this is not available in SP Online.

Hi,
According to your description, the links to other Excel files in the current Excel file not working if in a SharePoint Online environment.
In SharePoint, Excel files is handled by Excel Services. In SharePoint 2013, the “unsupported features continue to behave as they do in Office SharePoint Server 2007
for Excel Services”:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/ff595319(v=office.15).aspx
Among the “Unsupported Features in Excel Services in SharePoint 2007”, “External references (workbooks that contain links to other workbooks)” is there:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms496823(office.12).aspx
As a workaround, I would suggest that you can transfer the data from Excel file to SharePoint list/library, it would be easier to deal with this scenario in SharePoint
with the content management related feature provided.
You can also submit a feedback to the Office Developer Platform with your expectation about the future version of SharePoint:

How to do a load testing in Sharepoint 2010 site

Hi,
I have never done a performance or load testing on SharePoint 2010 site.
I have a site which has only one custom code written for consolidating documents. I want to check the performance of the site.
How do I go about this ? I want to know how many users can login at a time and view the site without any delay and
check how many people can consolidate documents at a time .
Thanks in Advance.
Pallavi

There's several ways to do it, the most common is to use the SharePoint load testing kit detailed in the second link below. For a more general guide try the first:

SharePoint Online : Unable to load type Microsoft.SharePoint.Upgrade.SPUpgradeCompatibilityException required for deserialization.

From today's morning , We are having Issue on Our Online SharePoint Site.
Each WebPart is not loading and displaying this Line
Unable to load type Microsoft.SharePoint.Upgrade.SPUpgradeCompatibilityException required for deserialization.
Please write in quick response to fix it at
[email protected]

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that SharePoint Online Site was unable to load web part and got the “Microsoft.SharePoint.Upgrade.SPUpgradeCompatibilityException” error.
Per my knowledge, the SPUpgradeCompatibilityException occurs during upgrade when the front-end Web server attempts to connect to an incompatible database.
Please check whether the database is compatible.
Regarding SharePoint Online, for quick and accurate answers to your questions, it is recommended that you initial a new thread in Office 365 forum.

Remove test run from Load Test Manager in Visual Studio Online Load Testing

I have been using the Visual Studio Online Azure load testing for a while now, and I have a number of test runs that I would like to remove. I am not referring to my local Load Test Results Store (on-premise SQL DB), as I can remove test runs no problem.
I mean, how to remove them from "the cloud" so we can no longer re-download the test results.

Hi David,
As far as I know, it's not supported for Visual Studio Online to run load tests for solutions hosted on GitHub. You can submit a user voice
here.

Application Insights for load testing in VS 2013, Azure Preview or Visual Studio Online?

I'm trying to get some clarification on which version of application insights to use to get performance counters from application insights for my azure cloud service for load and performance testing purposes.
So far, its not be clear what the differences between the two versions are, after deploying first the Azure Preview version, I attempted to set up performance counters using application insights but was shown an error because my visual studio online account
did not have an associated application insights instance.
Is it possible to get performance counters using AI for load testing using the Azure Preview version? If so, how? If not, is that planned as a new feature or will performance counters for VSO cloud based load testing have to be used when support for the
VSO version of application insights is eventually dropped?
Thanks,
Luke

Hi Alex, thanks for your response. I do have an Azure account, and have tinkered with AI in Azure Preview. My question was more about what the differences between the VSO and azure preview versions of AI are.
When I initially deployed AI to the azure portal and tried to run load tests from visual studio (cloud load tests, that is) I could not. Its possible I had made a mistake in configuring the azure version of application insights though. Strangely enough,
I actually do still see application insights data in the azure preview portal after I removed the newer AI version and installed AI 1.3.
To clarify my question, is it or will it be possible to run cloud based load tests (using visual studio online or another integrated service) against a azure web role deployed with application insights for azure and get performance counters of the system
under test via AI? To do that, will I also have an application insights application in the visual studio online account (similar to how I do now with the VSO version of AI), because that seems to be a requirement to load performance counters from application
insights within visual studio.
Thanks and sorry if I misunderstood your answer.

Error importing result file from Visual Studio Online load test - Incorrect Syntax near ')'

Any assistance in resolving this would be greatly appreciated!
Let me know if additional information is needed.
Thanks!

Hi,
We are researching your issue. Please clarify my question with detailed information:
1. Do you get the error in your first post when you click ‘Download report’ after you run load test from
Visual Studio 2013 on
team foundation service?
2 You said that ‘I am trying to import the test results into a Visual Studio 2012 (Update 3) on-prem instance’, what and where is
your load test result repository? A SQL Server database or the default database:LoadTest2010 in SQL Express on the same machine with Visual Studio 2013?
3 Whether you specify the load test result repository under Load Test->Manage Test Controller?
4. What error do you get? Please provide us more detailed information about the error message or share us with a screenshot.
5 Whether you can run the load test successfully locally and get the load test result with the same load test result database?
6 You said that your co-worker can work fine. Please check whether your account has enough permissions for load test result database and download load test result from TFS to load test result database based on the account
permission of your co-work.

Issue in adding new items to a O365 SharePoint Online List having lookup columns (Client Object Model)

I have two Lists i.e. Publisher and Products in my SharePoint Online site. They are having the following structures:
1. Publisher:

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to update data to look up field.
I have a test about updating look up field using Client Object Model in my environment. lookup field will accept an array to set the field value.
Here is the code snippet:
Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ClientContext ctx = new ClientContext("http://sp2013sps/sites/test/");
if (ctx != null)
List list = ctx.Web.Lists.GetByTitle("List3");
ListItem itemToUpdate = list.GetItemById(1);
ctx.Load(itemToUpdate);
ctx.ExecuteQuery();
FieldLookupValue newLookUpField = new FieldLookupValue();
newLookUpField.LookupId = 3;
FieldLookupValue newLookUpField1 = new FieldLookupValue();
newLookUpField1.LookupId = 4;
FieldLookupValue[] newarr = { newLookUpField, newLookUpField1 };
itemToUpdate["lookup"] = newarr;
itemToUpdate.Update();
ctx.Load(itemToUpdate);
ctx.ExecuteQuery();

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you had an issue to connect to the SharePoint online.
I had tested with your code, and it worked well as below.
Did your project contain other code? Such as parse the XML file?
You can create a new clean project to check with it works.

SharePoint Online External Users

So I was taking SharePoint online for a test drive a few days ago. While I was looking at how users are given permissions to list and libraries I realize something that might
make or break SP Online for me. The out-of-the-box SharePoint Online implementation gives you one private site collection and one public website. Let just focus on the public website in this example. Now, by default the public website is at least viewable
to everyone. But what if I created a survey on my public website and only wanted members of the site to have access to it. I know that you can "Share Site" with external users. But can you allow visitors to your site the ability to create their own account,
and in turn fill out the survey? And of course without purchasing a license for every person filling the survey.
Jeffrey T McFarland

I'm not sure about making content on your public site private, but you can make content on your private sites public. You basically turn on external users for the entire Office 365 SharePoint Online account. Then you can optionally disable it
for certain site collections. That way, you can control who has access to what. This article might be helpful in explaining how external users works in SharePoint Online:

ADFS SSO and SharePoint 2013 on-premise Hybrid outbound search results from SharePoint Online - does it work?

Hi,
I want to setup an outpund hybrid search for SharePoint 2013 on-premise to SharePoint Online.
But I'm not shure if this works with ADFS SSO.
Has somebody experience with this setup?
Here's my guide which I'm going to use for this installation:
Introduction
In this post I'll show you how to get search results from your SharePoint Online in your SharePoint 2013 on-premise search center.
Requirements
User synchronisation ActiveDirectory to Office 365 with DirSync
DirSync password sync or ADFS SSO
SharePoint Online
SharePoint 2013 on-premise
Enterprise Search service
SharePoint Online Management Shell
Instructions
All configuration will be done either in the Search Administration of the Central Administration or in the PowerShell console of your on-premise SharePoint 2013 server.
Set up Sever to Server Trust
Export certificates
To create a server to server trust we need two certificates.
[certificate name].pfx: In order to replace the STS certificate, the certificate is needed in Personal Information Exchange (PFX) format including the private key.
[certificate name].cer: In order to set up a trust with Office 365 and Windows Azure ACS, the certificate is needed in CER Base64 format.
First launch the Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager
Select your SharePoint web server and double-click Server Certificates
In the Actions pane, click Create Self-Signed Certificate
Enter a name for the certificate and save it with OK
To export the new certificate in the Pfx format select it and click Export in the Actions pane
Fill the fields and click OK Export to: C:\[certificate
name].pfx Password: [password]
Also we need to export the certificate in the CER Base64 format. For that purpose make a right-click on the certificate select it and click on View...
Click the Details tab and then click Copy to File
On the Welcome to the Certificate Export Wizard page, click Next
On the Export Private Key page, click Next
On the Export File Format page, click Base-64 encoded X.509 (.CER), and then click Next.
As file name enter C:\[certificate
name].cer and then click Next
Finish the export
Import the new STS (SharePoint Token Service) certificate
Let's update the certificate on the STS. Configure and run the PowerShell script below on your SharePoint server.
if(-not (Get-PSSnapin "Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue)){Add-PSSnapin "Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell"}
# set the cerficates paths and password
$PfxCertPath = "c:\[certificate name].pfx"
$PfxCertPassword = "[password]"
$X64CertPath = "c:\[certificate name].cer"
# get the encrypted pfx certificate object
$PfxCert = New-Object System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.X509Certificate2 $PfxCertPath, $PfxCertPassword, 20
# import it
Set-SPSecurityTokenServiceConfig -ImportSigningCertificate $PfxCert
Type Yes when prompted with the following message.
You are about to change the signing certificate for the Security Token Service. Changing the certificate to an invalid, inaccessible or non-existent certificate will cause your SharePoint installation to stop functioning. Refer
to the following article for instructions on how to change this certificate: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=178475. Are you
sure, you want to continue?
Restart IIS so STS picks up the new certificate.
& iisreset
& net stop SPTimerV4
& net start SPTimerV4
Now validate the certificate replacement by running several PowerShell commands and compare their outputs.
# set the cerficates paths and password
$PfxCertPath = "c:\[certificate name].pfx"
$PfxCertPassword = "[password]"
# get the encrypted pfx certificate object
New-Object System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.X509Certificate2 $PfxCertPath, $PfxCertPassword, 20
# compare the output above with this output
(Get-SPSecurityTokenServiceConfig).LocalLoginProvider.SigningCertificate
[/code]
## Establish the server to server trust
[code lang="ps"]
if(-not (Get-PSSnapin "Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue)){Add-PSSnapin "Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell"}
Import-Module MSOnline
Import-Module MSOnlineExtended
# set the cerficates paths and password
$PfxCertPath = "c:\[certificate name].pfx"
$PfxCertPassword = "[password]"
$X64CertPath = "c:\[certificate name].cer"
# set the onpremise domain that you added to Office 365
$SPCN = "sharepoint.domain.com"
# your onpremise SharePoint site url
$SPSite="http://sharepoint"

Add a new result source
To get search results from SharePoint Online we have to add a new result source. Run the following script in a PowerShell ISE session on your SharePoint 2013 on-premise server. Don't forget to update the settings region
if(-not (Get-PSSnapin "Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue)){Add-PSSnapin "Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell"}
# region settings
$RemoteSharePointUrl = "http://[example].sharepoint.com"
$ResultSourceName = "SharePoint Online"
$QueryTransform = "{searchTerms}"
$Provier = "SharePoint-Remoteanbieter"
# region settings end
$SPEnterpriseSearchServiceApplication = Get-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceApplication
$FederationManager = New-Object Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.Administration.Query.FederationManager($SPEnterpriseSearchServiceApplication)
$SPEnterpriseSearchOwner = Get-SPEnterpriseSearchOwner -Level Ssa
$ResultSource = $FederationManager.GetSourceByName($ResultSourceName, $SPEnterpriseSearchOwner)
if(!$ResultSource){
Write-Host "Result source does not exist. Creating..."
$ResultSource = $FederationManager.CreateSource($SPEnterpriseSearchOwner)
$ResultSource.Name = $ResultSourceName
$ResultSource.ProviderId = $FederationManager.ListProviders()[$Provier].Id
$ResultSource.ConnectionUrlTemplate = $RemoteSharePointUrl
$ResultSource.CreateQueryTransform($QueryTransform)
$ResultSource.Commit()
Add a new query rule
In the Search Administration click on Query Rules
Select Local SharePoint as Result Source

In the Search this Source dropdown select your SharePoint Online result source
Select 3 in the Items dropdown
Expand the Settings section and select "More" link goes to the following URL
In the box below enter this Url https://[example].sharepoint.com/search/pages/results.aspx?k={subjectTerms}
Select This block is always shown above core results and click the OK button
Save the new query rule

Hi Janik,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to display hybrid search results in SharePoint Server 2013.
For achieving your demand, please have a look at the article:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn197173(v=office.15).aspx
If you are using single sign-on (SSO) authentication, it is important to test hybrid Search functionality by using federated user accounts. Native Office 365 user accounts and Active Directory Domain Services
(AD DS) accounts that are not federated are not recognized by both directory services. Therefore, they cannot authenticate using SSO, and cannot be granted permissions to resources in both deployments. For more information, see Accounts
needed for hybrid configuration and testing.
Best Regards,
Eric
