Stress/load Test

Hi all, i am planning to run a load test on a web server, my current plan is to send multiple concurrent requests to the web server, and the target webpage will do "something" to make enormous load on the machine, then i will measure the response time for each thread. My problem is i dont know what kind of "logic" or "algorithm"..etc is suitable to make such load on the machine, can someone advise? Thanks in advance.

Usually, when you do load testing, you want to place the server under a load that is a similar to real production-load as possible.
So you don't want to produce some artificial load that's designed to stress the server (that's a possible approach too, but it's stress testing rather than load testing).
So you simply want to do as many production-like requests to your server as possible (make sure to get a good mix of different requests in there as well and not just focus on a single one).
I suggest using a tool like JMeter for the job. It's not really easy to learn or use, but it's very capable.

BI stress and load testing

Hi all,
I am looking for Scenarios in BW/BI related to stress and load testing, does anyone worked on this area? I am looking for a scenario and what are the 3 rd party tools required for this?
any documents ..plz help me ..its urgent
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Not too sure if Mercury LoadRunner is the solution you're looking for.
www.mercury.com/us/products/performance-center/loadrunner/
http://www.sap.com/usa/solutions/solutionextensions/pdf/BWP_LoadRunner.pdf
I think one of the solution is to check with your SAP accounts manager and ask if he/she has solution to offer. The last time we did a stress test (2 years ago) was to co-ordinate groups of users to refresh multiple massive queries...
Hope this helps.
Cheers,

Stress and load testing

Hi all,
How do you do the stress and load testing on queries( WAD) in BW, does mercury loadrunner supports this? I am little bit confused with the portal and BW, where i hv to do stress and load testing of Web queries( i views)? plz help me

Stress and Load testing are the different types of testing used to test the Application in Development by increasing the loads on the application in order to test the applications behavior as to how it would react with the increased loads. Example in testing a website we constantly increase the number of users accessing that website at the same time in order to check how much of response time is the web page taking to show up on the screen, how is the back end of the website working and at a time how many users can log on before the website crashes.
Let me know if this is of any help and assign points if helpful. Sorry for the delayed reply.
Thanks,

Load Test Results - time series request data for by URL in VS2013

I am trying to figure out how to export and then analyze the results of a load test, but after the test is over it seems I cannot find the data for each individual request by url. This data shows during the load test itself, but after it is over it seems
as if that data is no longer accessible and all I can find are totals. The data that I want is under the "Page response time" graph on the graphs window during the test. I know this is not the response time for every single request and is probably
averaged, but that would suffice for the calculations I want to make.
I have looked in the database on my local machine (LoadTest2010, where all of the summary data is stored) and I cannot find the data I'm looking for.
My goal is to plot (probably in excel) each request url against the user load and analyze the slope of the response time averages to determine which requests scale the worst (and best). During the load test I can see this data and get a visual idea but when
it ends I cannot seem to find it to export.
A) Can this data be exported from within visual studio? Is there a setting required to make VS persist this data to the database? I have, from under Run Settings, the "Results" section "Timing Details Storage" set to "All individual
details" and the Storage Type set to "Database".
B) If this data isn't available from within VS, is it in any of the tables in the LoadTest2010 database where all of the summary data is stored?
Thanks
Luke

Hi Luke,
Since the load test is used to
simulate many users accessing a server at the same time, it is mainly verify a wev server load stress.
As you said that you want to find the data
for each individual request by url, I know that generally we can analyze the url request from the Summary like the following screen shot.
>>I
have looked in the database on my local machine (LoadTest2010, where all of the summary data is stored) and I cannot find the data I'm looking for.
I suggest you can try to add the
SQL Tracing Connect String in the Run Setting properties to trace the data.

In addition, you can try to create an excel to analyze the load test result, for more information:

FindVOsWithEntityUsage error when load testing

Our application appears to be having issues with activation/passivation of stateful views under heavy load testing. We have changed all the other pages to be stateless where possible yet still appear to freeze up after encountering one or more BC4J errors typically starting with findVOsWithEntityUsage(ApplicationModuleImpl.java).
Has anyone else run into this problem? This appears to happen after 2-5 hours of load / stress testing with SoftLight's SiteTool Loader.
Thanks in advance
Tom

Hi Luke,
The issue is resolved based on the suggestion in another thread. Our basis stoped and started the OrgChart service in NWCE, and it did work.

Unable to capture the D4OSESSION during LOAD testing??

Hi,
Summary:
---------- I am doing the performance testing of the 50 concurrent users using one of the third party load test tool.But that tool is not able to capture the opening workbook sessions.
Detail
----------- Normally when I open a D4O session in the URL from the client machine in the database I saw the 3 sessions in v$session table.
2 sessions from Application Server.
1 Session from client machine.
the protocol that I used to open the D4OSession is HTTP
When I Choose any workbook from the opened d4osession in the V$session table the session from the client machine status becomes active.
so for the single d4o session oracle opening 3 session in the database.
Under this calculation I try to record the session for the performance testing using one of the third party tool called QA LOAD. I am unable to record all the 3 session,
I am able to record the application server sessions only ie.2 session ,but I am unable to record the session from Client machine.(User session is coming only when I opens the workbook)
I am not able to understand why the tool is not able understand d4osession protocol??
What could be the problem. Why I am not able to capture the d4osession when I opens the workbook.???? . Without using the tool I can able to see the all 3 sessions.
Actually the goal is to do a performance testing for 50 concurrent users.Its very difficult to do performance testing without a performance test tool...
Normally this tool can understand all kind of javabased application,Microsoft applications but I am not sure why it won't understand part of the d4osessions???
Even when I ry to capture this opening workbook session using winsock protocol also...but no luck!!!!.
Any advice/ Idea....Please post it !!!!
Eg: ---------------
Details of the d4o session
---------------------------- d4osession user : user1
Workbook name : workbook1
URL : http://applicationserver:7778/discoverer/plus?us=user1&lm=olap......
Browser : Internet Explorer 6.0
Database : Oracle 10G
Discoverer plus for olap : 10.1.2.48
Load Test tool : QA LOAD
Database OS : Linux
Application Server OS : Windows.

Unable to capture the Citrix network response time using OATS Load testing.

Unable to capture the Citrix network response time using OATS Load testing.

How to set Proxy for IE 8.0 on doing Load Testing with OATS 12.1.0.2

I have tried adding proxy server by adding the address to "Localhost" and Port as 8080.
but nothing is working out, for recording an EBS instance its working fine ,no need to setup anything in the OATS tool, eg, Proxy settings.
But when it comes to BPM with ADF technology , the recorder is not starting the Recording even the pointer navigation also not wokring.
So, is there way to record the ADF applications in BPM ?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Wayne,
Thing is do we need to add the proxy server here?, as for doing Load testing on EBS application,there is no need of adding a proxy server,
So the same way it should work with the ADF application too, but its not showing any mouse pointer in the Browser tool bar or recording
the navigation.
Point to be noted is, we need to connect to VPN in order to access the Application.
is it because of VPN connection that its not recording?
But while doing the functional testing I didn't face anyproblem though as its recording everything even if we are connected to VPN.
In Functional testing also i found ,all the input fields where we add the "username" or any input data via a "text box" the tool is not able to
record the field information along with the input we enter.
If you could let me know ,how to do a Load testing for ADF application using BPM , it would be helpful
Thanks

Load testing of Web ADI in EBS R12

Hi,
I am currently testing Oracle E-Business Suite R12. Has anyone load tested the Web ADI integrator for Oracle EBS R12? What tool did you use?
Did you use QTP or Oracle ATS functional testing? I was not able to do a POC using LoadRunner or OATS load test tool.
Basically Web ADI is an integration that allows data to be uploaded/downloaded between Oracle EBS R12 and local excel.
Any help is appreciated.

Hi,
I have found that OATS does not work easily with Web ADI in my case.

Load testing with concurrent users on HTTP Web

Hello,
I am trying to do load testing my PHP Web Application.
I record (with Firefox) and developed the testing script with OpenScript,
but I found that I could only test with "Iteration" feature.
Is there any way to do load testing with concurrent users ( multi users login at the same time ) which defined in databank?
Thanks for help.

Hi
You need to load the script into OLT (Oracle Load Testing) you can download it from here you need the first link Oracle Application Testing Suite and run the OATSxxx.exe to install OLT.

Basic Authentication for load testing WSDL Web Service

I'm trying to load test a web service; the WSDL URL is behind a username and password, using the basic http authentication. I can add the WSDL URL without issue with the username and password, but when I playback the script, I get "401 Unauthorized" errors
I looked at Preferences > Record > Web Services > Proxy Configuration, which then refers you to Preferences > Record > HTTP > Proxy Settings. I also looked at similar settings under Preferences > Playback.
I am running OpenScript (9.1), how do I configure this ... ?
Many thanks!
KM
Edited by: KM on Sep 14, 2011 12:12 PM

Hello
You can right click on the initialize section of your script then:
Add -> Other -> HTTP -> Authentication.
You need 3 parameters:
A url - http://someurl - that will authenticate any url that contains the http://someurl string e.g http://someurl.com/index.html
A password
A user
The following code should be added in your script:
http.addAuthentication("http://someurl", "username",
deobfuscate("5blNah5kX/XuZnepYwInFw=="));Hope this helps
