Towards automated load testing through the user interface
| Resumo: | Slight variations in user interface response times can significantly impact the user experience provided by an interface. Load testing is used to evaluate how an application behaves under increasing loads. For interactive applications, load testing can be done by directly calling services at the business logic or through the user interface. In modern web applications, there is a considerable amount of control logic on the browser side. The impact of this logic on applications’ behaviour is only fully considered if the tests are done through the user interface. Capture reply tools are used for this, but their use can become costly. Leveraging an existing model-based testing tool, we propose an approach to automate load testing done through the user interface. |
