Introduction of WAPT:

Web testing is the name given to software testing that focuses on web applications. Complete testing of a web-based system before going live can help address issues before the system is revealed to the public. A web application performance tool (WAPT) is used to test web applications and web related interfaces. These tools are used for performance, load and stress testing of web applications, web sites, web servers and other web interfaces. WAPT tends to simulate virtual users which will repeat either recorded URLs or specified URL and allows the users to specify number of times or iterations that the virtual users will have to repeat the recorded URLs. By doing so, the tool is useful to check for bottleneck and performance leakage in the website or web application being tested.

A WAPT faces various challenges during testing and should be able to conduct tests for:

Browser compatibility Operating System compatibility Windows application compatibility where required (especially for backend testing)

WAPT allows a user to specify how virtual users are involved in the testing environment.ie either increasing users or constant users or periodic users load. Increasing user load, step by step is called RAMP where virtual users are increased from 0 to hundreds. Constant user load maintains specified user load at all time. Periodic user load tends to increase and decrease the user load from time to time.

Steps included in Testing:

The type of Testing that we are going to perform is “Stress Testing”.

Stress Testing:

Stress testing is a form of testing that is used to determine the stability of a given system or entity. It involves testing beyond normal operational capacity, often to a breaking point, in order to observe the results. Stress testing may have a more specific meaning in certain industries, such as fatigue testing for materials.

Testing Procedure:

The Testing Procedure Include following steps.

Step 1:

In the First step the type of testing that we are going to perform is selected..

Step 2:

This step is to select the number of user that are going to use.

Step 3:

Decide the duration of the test.

Step 4:

Step 5:

Step 6:

Step 7:

Write the URL of the web site whose performance will be test.

Step 8:

Step 9:

Step 10:

Step 11:

After the test is performed, test volume is generated.

Step 12:

The log and report setting is shown below.

Step 13:

The result of the test is.
