WDTestSite: Presentation

Overview

WDTestSite

WDTestSite is used to run different tests on a WEBDEV website.

The different tests are as follows:

Scalability test:
Load tests simulate the connection of several users to a WEBDEV website. Each Web user runs a set of operations (scenario) simultaneously.
Regression test:
Regression tests check how a WEBDEV website works between two updates. Regression tests check whether a scenario performed with a previous version of the site still runs after the site has been updated.
Test of a site in multi-user mode:
The test of a site in multi-user mode checks whether concurrent accesses to the data files are handled properly. This test consists in simulating the simultaneous connection of several users to a WEBDEV website. Each Web user runs a set of operations (scenario) simultaneously.
Comparison of different servers:
WDTestSite compares the speed of different servers. Simply run the same scenario on different servers and compare the scenario execution time.
Optimizing the processes created in WLanguage:
WDTestSite compares the execution time of a scenario before and after the WLanguage code is optimized.

Starting WDTestSite

To start WDTestSite:

on the "Tools" tab, in the "Utilities" group, click "WDTestSite" (from WEBDEV).
run "WDTestSite.EXE" directly.

Use conditions

WDTestSite cannot be redistributed.

However, to run tests in multi-user mode, WDTestSite can be installed on several computers.

Using WDTestSite

Principle

WDTestSite is used to:

create a scenario. This scenario contains a set of actions that must be performed on a WEBDEV website.
run the test of a scenario directly.
start successively several executions of the same scenario from the same computer or from different computers.
The scenario is run on the server.
run the same scenario (simultaneous users) from the same computer or from different computers.
The scenario is run on the server.

Installing WDTestSite on different computers

To run stress tests on a server or to test the server rapidity, we recommend that you use different computers to run the execution of a scenario. The scenario is always run on the same Web server.

The following files must be copied to each test computer:

the executable: WDTestSite.exe
the various libraries: httputil.dll, wd300hf.dll, wd300mat.dll, wd300obj.dll, wd300pnt.dll, wd300std.dll, wd300vm.dll.
WDTestSite help file: WDTestSite.pdf
the scenario (file ".WCN"): this file must be copied into a "Scenario" subdirectory of the WDTestSite.exe installation directory.

When these files are copied to the test computers, simply run the scenario or the load test on each of the test computers.
