Web Performance Test - Record the time of a page and name it after the page has returned.

We have a page that returns a random (as far as we are concerned) value . We need to be able to say how long it took the page when a specific value has appeared.
Here's an example:
Page.aspx can return either red, blue or green.
How do we get the timings for the times it returns red separate from the timings it returns blue etc?
I've tried the following:
1> PostTransaction web plugin - this only has read only fields for transaction name
2> RequestName - we can change this in the PostPage and PostRequest as it's not read only but this doesn't get reflected in the IDE.
3> Adding a fake transaction and then doing some wonderful SQL on the LoadTest2010 database afterwards, but this is a nasty solution and wouldn't display during run time. Not that displaying at run time is needed but the nastiness prevents this.
4> Writing to a file or DB, again a nasty solution, file would lead to locking or gathering masses of individual users files, would also lead to disk issues. DB would lock thread and is advised against in a webtest I believe.
Any ideas please?
Cheers,
Rob

Hi RobbiedCoUK,
Thanks for your friendly response.
>>You said you would find someone to help, have you not been able to?
Tina-Shi help you report this issue to the high-level support, we also didn't get the response now.
But if we get any latest information, we would share it here. Appreciate your patience again!
>>Adrian was just saying that he'd said the same as in my question. It wasn't a solution to the issue.
You are right, since other community members like Adrian still got the same issue as yours, if possible, you could submit a report for this issue, the senior members from the connect report can provide more professional support. Before
we get the response from the high-level support, I think it would be a better way for you to get the suggestion/solution for this issue directly from the connect report since it would be a real issue if other member still got the same issue as yours.
If you submit the report, please also share us the link here, so other members who get the same issue as yours would help you vote it, and we could get the latest information from the report members.
Sincerely,
Jack

  • Can I use the time capsule as backup and hard disk at the same time?

    Hi.
    I want to buy a time capsule.
    I wondered, if I can use the time capsule as backup (over time machine) and as a hard disk at the same time?
    If I buy the 2TB time capsule, I wanted to use 1TB for the backup and 1TB for hard disk.
    Is this possible?
    Best wishes

    It is not recommended.. the problem being anything stored on the TC only is not backed up and cannot be backed up by the TC itself or Time Machine. So what are you going to do about back.. the TC can and do die suddenly.. and the cost of recovery can be huge.
    See Q3 here for the semi-right way to do it if you must.
    http://pondini.org/TM/Time_Capsule.html
    You can plug a USB drive into the TC and use that for files.. but note, its speed is poor.. fine for wireless as wireless is even slower but you will really notice it if you expect the drive to be as fast as the internal.. it will be a fraction of the internal drive speed. 1/2 write and 1/3 read aprox.

  • I am planning to to a clean install of Mavericks on my MacBook Air 11" mid 2012. Will i lose out on the free apps like iPhoto and iMovie etc after the clean install? Has anyone done it yet?

    I had not upgraded to the free 10.8 update.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    If you do a clean installation, you will lose all iLife apps (iPhoto, iMovie and GarageBand) because they are not included in OS X. However, after reinstalling OS X, you will be able to reinstall them for free from the Mac App Store. Open the Mac App Store, go to Purchases and download the iLife applications. Note that the latest version is only compatible with OS X Mavericks.
    Also, make a backup of your files with Time Machine before upgrading and check that your apps are supported > http://www.roaringapps.com

  • Can Web Performance Test work on AJAX or Javascript Project which will show only one URL for all the pages?

    Hi there,
    I'm working on testing a AJAX and JavaScript Project which has several pages but all in the same URL. I need to test some attribute on the page or parameter past by AJAX or Javascript. Can Web Performance Test work to get what I want?
    Thanks,
    

    Hello,
    Thank you for your post.
    Web performance test is used to test if a server responses correctly and the response is consistent with what we expected. And we test the response speed, the stability and scalability.
    The Web Performance Test Recorder records both AJAX requests and requests that were submitted from JavaScript, but
     web test does not execute JavaScript. I am afraid that you can’t use web test to test parameter past by AJAX or JavaScript.
    Please see:
    Web Performance Test Engine Overview
    About JavaScript and ActiveX Controls in Web Performance Tests
    From the first link, “Client-side scripting that sets parameter values or results in additional HTTP requests, such as AJAX, does affect the load on the server and might require you to manually modify the Web Performance Test to simulate the scripting.”
    If you want to execute the function typically performed by script in web test, you need to accomplish it in coded web performance test or a web performance test plugin. Please see:
     How to: Create a Coded Web Performance Test
    How to: Create a Web Performance Test Plug-In
    I am not sure what the ‘some attribute on the page’ is. If you mean that you want to test those controls on the page, you can do coded UI test, which can test that the user interface for an application functions correctly. The coded UI test performs actions
    on the user interface controls for an application and verifies that the correct controls are displayed with the correct values. You can refer to this article for detailed information about code UI test:
    Verifying Code by Using Coded User Interface Tests

  • ActiveX Control recording but not playing back in a VS 2012 Web Performance Test

    I am testing an application that loads an Active X control for entering some login information. While recording, this control works fine and I am able to enter information and it is recorded. However on playback in the playback window it has the error "An
    add-on for this website failed to run. Check the security settings in Internet Options for potential conflicts."
    Window 7 OS 64 bit
    IE 8 recorded on 32 bit version
    I see no obvious security conflicts. This runs fine when navigating through manually and recording. It is only during playback where this error occurs.

    Hi IndyJason,
    Thank you for posting in MSDN forum.
    As you said that you could not playback the Active X control successfully in web performance test. I know that the ActiveX controls in your Web application will fall into three categories, depending on how they work at the HTTP level.
    Reference:
    https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms404678%28v=vs.110%29.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396
    I found that this confusion may be come from the browser preview in the Web test result viewer. The Web Performance Test Results Viewer does not allow script or ActiveX controls to run, because the Web performance test engine does not run the, and for security
    reasons.
    For more information, please you refer to this follwoing blog(Web Tests Can Succeed Even Though It Appears They Failed Part):

    Hi SCRana,
    Thank you for posting in MSDN forum.
    According to your description, you mean that you want to set the breakpoint and debug the web performance test during using the recorder to record this web performance test, am I right?
    As far as I know that there have no this feature of breakpoint/debugger in web performance test. 
    Generally, we set the breakpoint and debug this coded web performance test after we finished this web performance recording.
    So if you still want to this feature, I suggest you could submit this feature request:
    http://visualstudio.uservoice.com/forums/121579-visual-studio.
    The Visual Studio product team is listening to user voice there. You can send your idea there and people can vote. If you submit this suggestion, I hope you could post that link here, I will help you vote it.
    Thanks for your understanding.

  • Show-stopper Connecting web performance test to remote DB2 server as data source

    Hi All,
    We are running TFS2010 on VS2010 Ultimate on 2003 server SP-2 with IE 8 for web applications.
    We are working on conducting load tests in web-service. Previously we did that using data source from MS SQL to connect our web performance tests. Now we have a new requirement: changing our
    data source from MS SQL server to DB2 for good. The DB2 server is in a separate network. I am struggling how I can connect to the DB2 server. For the beginner the firewall setup is being taken care of with a separate initative. So I am a bit startled on how
    to connect to DB2 server from Visual Studio. Any help would be highly appreciated.
    Please let me know how we can accomplish this goal. Appreciate a lot. 
    Thank you,
    Riz

    Thanks for Javaman’s help.
    Hi Riz,
    Thank you for posting in the MSDN forum.
    Actually the real issue in this thread is related to the DB2.
    Since it is the third party software, sorry for that it is really out of support range of VS testing forum.
    But you could post this issue to the following forum, there you would get better support for it.

  • Using Test Setting file to run web performance tests in different environments

    Hello,
    I have a set of web performance tests that I want to be able to run in different environments.
    Currently I have csv file containing the url of the load balancer of the particular environment I want to run the load test containing the web performance tests in, and to run it in a different environment I just edit this csv file.
    Is it possible to use the test settings file to point the web performance tests at a particular environment?
    I am using VSTS 2012 Ultimate.
    Thanks

    Instead of using the testsettings I suggest using the "Parameterize web servers" command (found via context menu on the web test, or via one of the icons). The left hand column then suggests context parameter names for the parameterised web server
    URLs. It should be possible to use data source entries instead. You may need to wrap the data source accesses in doubled curly braces if editing via the "Parameterize web servers" window.
    Regards

  • I'm recording video on JVC HD camera.Every 13:54 it starts a new file.I have one file that won't play.I get this message:Quick time player can't open (names file) because the movie's file format isn't recognized.  Only happens this one file.Ideas?

    I can't open one Quick Time movie file.  It says: Quick time player can't open (names file) because the movie's file format isn't recognized.  Only happens on this one file.  All the others of a two hour shoot are fine. 
    Any ideas what's happened and is there some way to open that file and retrieve what's on it? 

    Thanks this was useful. I have been ripping my audiobooks and I was finding that they would get uploaded to iCloud in the process, which in itself was fine, but then iTunes would not let me change the media type to Audiobook, which is annoying as it effects how iTunes treats the media. Like showing you the skip back 10 seconds button.
    The general outline here helped me work around the issue and change the media type before the media was re-uploaded to iCloud.

  • How do I create a 1d array that takes a single calculation and insert the result into the first row and then the next calculation the next time the loop passes that point and puts the results in thsecond row and so on until the loop is exited.

    The attached file is work inprogress, with some dummy data sp that I can test it out without having to connect to equipment.
    The second tab is the one that I am having the problem with. the output array from the replace element appears to be starting at the index position of 1 rather than 0 but that is ok it is still show that the new data is placed in incrementing element locations. However the main array that I am trying to build that is suppose to take each new calculation and place it in the next index(row) does not ap
    pear to be working or at least I am not getting any indication on the inidcator.
    Basically what I am attempting to do is is gather some pulses from adevice for a minute, place the results for a calculation, so that it displays then do the same again the next minute, but put these result in the next row and so on until the specifiied time has expired and the loop exits. I need to have all results displayed and keep building the array(display until, the end of the test)Eventually I will have to include a min max section that displays the min and max values calculated, but that should be easy with the min max function.Actually I thought this should have been easy but, I gues I can not see the forest through the trees. Can any one help to slear this up for me.

    I didn't really have time to dig in and understand your program in depth,
    but I have a few tips for you that might things a bit easier:
    - You use local variables excessively which really complicates things. Try
    not to use them and it will make your life easier.
    - If you flowchart the design (very similar to a dataflow diagram, keep in
    mind!) you want to gather data, calculate a value from that data, store the
    calculation in an array, and loop while the time is in a certain range. So
    theres really not much need for a sequence as long as you get rid of the
    local variables (sequences also complicate things)
    - You loop again if timepassed+1 is still less than some constant. Rather
    than messing with locals it seems so much easier to use a shiftregister (if
    absolutely necessary) or in this case base it upon the number of iterations
    of the loop. In this case it looks like "time passed" is the same thing as
    the number of loop iterations, but I didn't check closely. There's an i
    terminal in your whileloop to read for the number of iterations.
    - After having simplified your design by eliminating unnecessary sequence
    and local variables, you should be able to draw out the labview diagram.
    Don't try to use the "insert into array" vis since theres no need. Each
    iteration of your loop calculates a number which goes into the next position
    of the array right? Pass your result outside the loop, and enable indexing
    on the terminal so Labview automatically generates the array for you. If
    your calculation is a function of previous data, then use a shift register
    to keep previous values around.
    I wish you luck. Post again if you have any questions. Without a more
    detailed understanding of your task at hand it's kind of hard to post actual
    code suggestions for you.

    How will the Time Capsule support IPv6 and coop with the new emerging security threats that will emerge due to the new technical possibilities that IPv6 provide?

    Cross your fingers and hope.
    Obviously if there is any big or known threat Apple will send out a firmware fix.
    But the TC is designed to be end user simple device. It has no firewall that is visible at any rate. I don't know that it truly doesn't have a firewall but it is not part of the end user controls.
    IMO if you have major security concerns that go beyond end device firewall, which is where Apple do put most of the security, since firewall in the router is plainly not a stop to anybody deliberately downloading an infected file or website, and most end users.. do not want a firewall that prevents them using the web like a business does, where only certain ports are allowed. Everything else tough luck.. you are not allowed to use it. Then TC is unsuitable for you anyway.. buy a proper firewall appliance.

    There is nothing wrong with your Dell, it will work fine with any MacbookPro. I have been using Dell displays for over 12 years with many different Mac models. I have two 21" Ultra Sharp displays working side by side to design a Keynote presentation right now.
    The issue your having is with the way Keynote  takes control of the video output to both displays, it sends the presentation signal to one and the presenter display to the other, this is set up in;
    Keynote preferences > Presenter display.
    If you want to show a wesite or another app on  either display,  use application switcher:
    press the the  command key on the keyboard, then the tab key; a row of applications will show what applications are running, choose which one you want to show. Use command  > tab to return to Keynote.
