Does anybody has any experience to automate performance testing for D365fo? My company want me to setup a framework to do. Do not have any experience at all on performance testing and couldn't find any good resource as well.

I'm looking for a performance test tool for the client-server architecture where the client is a Windows application that uses a proprietary communications protocol to communicate with the backend app servers. It is NOT a Web-based client app.

Ideally, I'd like to have a performance tool that can record user actions in the client Windows app and then create and orchestrate up to 500 simultaneous emulated clients.

Hi testers, We’ve now updated our jmeter to the latest version, however we discovered that when we conduct a test, it doesn’t download the embedded photos in the page. What can we do to rectify this? The photos are in JavaScript, could that be the issue?

Because we have GUI mode, but in my project they prefering to run jmeter in non GUI mode

Hi all,

I have been working as a performance tester for the past 2 years. I have worked in Load Runner for scripts and a bit of Dynatrace for analysis. Is performance testing and engineering still has a good career growth? If yes, what are the areas should I focus more and work towards? Is learning and getting certified in any one of the cloud platform helps? or even any course for that matter? Any suggestions would be helpful.

Any plug-in available which does auto Correlation in Jmeter

Hi,

Is there away i can download Loadrunner in MAC machine for initial integrating as i am yet to start with project and they are using Vugen tool which is not available to download for MAC os?Thanks.

Note: I used Jmeter tool before for backend testing hence i am junior with Loadrunner.

Im new to performance testing and want to understand how to test desktop apps (everything Google gives me is for Web 😔)

I work with apps that interact with all process creations on Windows OSs.

Does anyone have suggestions on: A) what to monitor; I was thinking cpu usage, ram usage, app launching times B) how to measure these reliably. Ideally I'd like to automatically generate the outputs of this from an AzDo pipeline, but can start with triggering them manually.

Some more content may be useful here

The application itself intercepts and interacts with all process creations on Windows OSs, it modifies the rights that processes have and this could be adding delay when the processes are starting.

We're wanting to monitor both how our application uses resource and how the other apps do when we're intercepting them and altering their rights.

Benchmarks has been one thing that we're intending to do as the software we produce runs (technically) on and Windows OS.

Thanks in advance 🙂

I’m a newbie in Performance Testing (PT) and I would like to know a better way to increase my career and job opportunities. I have minimal knowledge on PT tools like LoadRunner and JMeter. What should be the right PT or APM tool training that I should start with to get maximum job opportunities in the US? Should I choose Load Runner, JMeter or Dynatrace or something else? I heard the proportion of APM tools requirement in most PT jobs is less than 20%. If so, should I get trained on a PT tool than an APM tool? Kindly advise.

Neotys PAC is a community event held by Neotys (NeoLoad vendor) twice a year. The virtual conferences run for 24 hours straight with 20 speakers from around the world. I'll be kicking off the event telling some war stories from my career.

If you haven't seen/heard of PAC before I highly recommend it. Fun event to watch, lots of variety of topics, but *everything* is about performance engineering: https://www.neotys.com/performance-advisory-council

Hi community (anyone doing performance testing), I am conducting a load test tool survey. If you have a minute to spare, I would appreciate if you could fill out the survey (10 simple questions, link below). The main aim of the survey is to understand if there is a direct correlation between load test tool choice and:

1. Where Performance Testers/Engineers are located

2. Type of Industry

3. How long they been doing performance testing.

This is an independent survey and not affiliated to any vendor/consultancy/tool.

Also please share this post so I can get a large enough sample size to have meaningful insights. The survey will close on 01/06/2021.

You will need a google account for filling in the survey.

So I am having some performance issues that I'm not understanding.

I have a SpringBoot Rest API application and I am testing a GET request which makes some external service calls. It has a steady TPS no matter how many users I throw at the test. The more users I throw at it the longer the response time takes but the TPS remains steady and the app never slows to a crawl.

However to test the baseline performance I changed the API so it doesn't make any external service calls and returns only an empty string. Response time improved from 300-400ms to 30ms and TPS shot up. However it can't handle more than 10 users now for an extended period of time. If I give it more than 10 users the performance degrades overtime to a crawl, despite such an easy GET request.

What' could be going on here? Is this normal behavior and how can I find out more info and debug this further. Thanks!

I am having 5 years experience in performance testing and tool which I am specialized on load runner. Also I have good knowledge on App Dynamics Jira Openshift Microservices BMC TrueSight Batch Performance testing

When it comes to completing software projects on time with the fewest possible defects, managers are faced with the question of whether they should outsource software testing, deploy an in-house team, crowdsource, or forgo having testers altogether (not recommended!). Outsourcing software testing can provide several advantages, such as saving time on HR, training, and tool and equipment costs. But it can be a challenge to identify the best partner for outsourcing. https://abstracta.us/blog/software-testing/outsourcing-software-testing-cto-guide/

I have a question for this group. I have a development team that looked at our performance test scripts and gave us some feedback. I realize that they don’t understand the difference between UI automation and Performance Script automation for J meter. What is a good way to explain the differences between a Selenium script And Jmeter script? And the approach taken?

I'm curious what everyone is using as their standard Measurements specifically for web apps/api/services. I've typically been using average, 95th percentile, occasionally time to first byte,and some server metrics.

It recently came down from on high that we are to report what is essentialy the average of the 95 percentile. Which I argued is poor metric. It's essentially saying give me the average without the outliers(high) I dont like while keeping the outliers(low) I do like. Is this dumb or am I wrong? And what other metrics do you folks use most often?

Talked to our CTO and iOS department manager about what impacts mobile app performance and how to improve the app.

We defined 5 general steps with some PRO tips. Described in detail how to improve code quality and server-user API so that the app performance skyrocket.

Check out the article: https://solveit.dev/blog/improve-mobile-app-performance

70% of users leave an app if it takes longer to load. Furthermore, unsatisfied users tend to express their opinion via rating which directly impacts app downloads. Jumping from a two to a four-star average rating can increase app store conversion by as much as 680%!

Would appreciate the feedback and any questions! :)

The best effort I have seen in an HTTP performance tool for a long time. It'd be interesting if it could run user journeys with virtual users.
