Unable to record scenario for media streaming.
Dear all, I am unable to record scenariofor media streaming. Please assist me For more information download the video : https://www.dropbox.com/s/ca3zv5wq63n2ujv/4-18-2017%203-40-26%20PM.avi?dl=0 As suggest by Alexey Kryuchkovsubmit a feature request to the following Community.
Allow changes to the editing window layouts to be lockable for all requests, tests for a user
When editing a tests requests, allow the users to set up the screens as they need them for that session or user, and have a lock button so that for each request, the work area remains in the same configuration, so that they don't need to keep changing things around each time. A found in one session where I had to check every request I sent 20% of the time changing the environment around.Make it possible to compare and synchronize requests for separate page(s)
Hi, Initial clauses: Consider this use case as a sample: login - get one page with items list - order one item - purchase ordered item - logout. The rootidea is that because of reusability and maintenance considerations, it is better to record and execute not a lot of similar complex end-to-end scenarios, but several smaller separate stand-alone ones and combine them using the Call Scenario operation. It is expected, that using this approach it will be possible to create, for example, these additional scenarios: -- login - logout; -- login - get random number of pages with items list - logout; -- login - order random number of items - purchase items - logout. From the reusability point of view it is expected that if, for example, the login scenario changes, only this simple scenario has to be recorded and correlated a-new but not all affected large and complex scenarios. It should be noted here that while it is possible to refresh the correlation rules for the already existing scenario, this does not apply to scenarios launched from the Call Scenario operation. The above considerations are, probably, the major cornerstone for my feature request, so please let me know if my initial idea is wrong, not recommended or is not adopted by real practitioners because of some reason. If the above idea is an acceptable one, it is obvious that data correlation will be required when combining separate scenarios to work together. I believe that this can be done more or less easily with the existing functionality of LoadComplete when complete scenario is recorded initially and is split later to several smaller stand-alone ones. Now the problem: Assume that in the course of the project, the page that displays items list (Items List page) was modified and requires different set of requests to be displayed. This means that the scenario that obtains thispage must be re-recorded and correlated with the existing scenarios. In its turn this means that (some) of the Data Selectors and Data Replacers that existed in the initial version of the Items List page must be recreated for the updated version of the page. Actual request: In order to make it more easy and convenient to find Data Selectors and Data Replacers in the initial version of the page, create them (only the needed ones, probably, with some modifications) in the new version of the page and apply at proper places, some functionality for side-by-side comparison of the requests that belong to two different pages with the possibility to modify requests of the target page should be useful and helpful. Could you please consider this? Thank you for your consideration. P.S. This feature request is based on the Case #00222701 and might be related to thehttps://community.smartbear.com/t5/LoadComplete/Transform-functional-TestComplete-test-into-Loadtest/td-p/138467 thread. Thanks, /Alex =============================Make it possible to use variables as operation parameters
In order to be able to create more real-life test scenarios I would like to ask to make it possible to use variables as operation parameters. For example, a sample scenario is to make a user to order a random number of items. The idea of how to implement this is to record the ordering of one item, add the Loop operation to the scenario and move relevant requests into the loop. The current problem is that the loop can repeat only the fixed number of iterations. Expected improvement is that it will be possible to create a project variable of random type in the range, say, from 1 to 10 and reference this variable as a loop counter. The expected result is that every virtual user will order random number of items in the range between 1 and 10. Thanks, /Alex =========================
Provide oAuth2 "Resource owner credentials grant" fuctionality.
Utilizing oAuth2 tokens; LoadComplete cannot handle passing the token while running load testsin the format required,when using"resource owner credentials grant". This cause the "Data" variable in the Authorization header to contain corupt or incomplete date failing the step. Please add this fuctionality.Add an "Errors" section to LoadComplete Reports
Please add an "Errors" section to LoadComplete reports. Currently, there is only a pass/fail section. This tells you how many requests passed and how many failed - but does give a breakdown of the errors showing why they failed. It is important to know if the app was experiencing server error 500's or merely redirects. Things to include: Errors per page chart: Show each page and how many errors it generated Pie chart of error types: Showing the percentage of each error type. Error Detail: Show each error. Include request header, response header, response body (snippet) - this can be limited to the first nn errors.
Make possible to test website generating cookies using JavaScript
LoadComplete doesn't support generating cookies using JavaScript for now. We need to do test on liferay portal which using some javascript for some variable. Please let me know if you need more details for this request. Thanks and Regards, FaziraAdjust scales in Custom Charts
For some metrics like %CPU and %Disk Time, the scales created in Custom Charts do not make intuitive sense. In the below example, the scale for %CPU goes from 0 - 600. This makes it harder to visually interpret the chart. Would be nice to fix this for metrics that are percentage values, or perhaps give the user the ability to manually adjust the scales. (This could also be useful to create a unified report in some fringe use cases of running multiple simultaneous load tests against the same server.)Make it possible to copy/paste requests between pages and/or scenarios
Hi, I would like to ask for the possibility to copy and paste functionality to be able to copy requests to another page and scenario. There is a Copy command in the context menu for request in the Scenario Editor, but the Paste menu command is always disabled. (Not sure if I remember it correctly, but it seems to me that this was possible in the early LoadComplete 2.x versions.) Thanks.Add simple macros (or scripting) for the Variables definition rules
Hi, Please guide me if I missed this functionality in LoadComplete, but I think that variables created using the Variables panel are lacking some dynamics. For example, I often need the random date that is not in the future but may be equal to today. The current implementation of Variables makes it possible to generate a random date variable, but only within hardcoded dates range. I think that it might help if it is possible to implement some set of simple macros in LoadComplete so that, for my example, it is possible to specify, say, {CurrentDate} in the To field of the Variable Wizard and get a random date value from some date in the past and up to today. Thoughts?Make it possible to enable/disable pages/requests within scenario
Hi, When the scenario recording is made for the dynamic applications with a lot of async Ajax requests, the recorded scenario includes a lot of these supplimentary requests that, I think, may be excluded from the final test. The problem here is that it is not always evident whether or not the given request or page can be safely excluded from the test. My current approach is to Save As... current scenario as a backup, remove requests/pages from the original one and verify if the obtained result is what I was needed. It will really help if it is possible to enable / disable certain requests / pages within scenario like this is possible for the host server. Thank you for considering this request.
Step through Debug option
There should be a single step debug option where you at time of post and respons can see what was sent and returned, and then see what was available at the time the variables was to be set. I think that would be a welcome addition as most of your other tools also allow for a step through debugging for verification of the testplan. Regards, MikeMake it possible to multi-select performance counters when adding them to the project
Hi, It would be faster and more convenient if it is possible to select more than counter (using regular Shift- and Ctrl-clicks) in the Select Performance Counter window when adding New Performance Counter to the project.Implement re-use of same subscenario with parametrized variables
Use case: I have created multiple functional flows for navigating through the application. I have split these up in sub scenario's like Login, order item, logout etc. Now I want to be able to re-use these sub-scenario's in other scenario's. This is possible in LoadComplete but you cannot parametrize these subscenarios. So you have to re-use the variables in them, but I need to be able to execute Login with different values for the variables in different scenario's.Implement Validator in the Operation Repository
Please re-factor the Validator functionality (currently residing in the Response section of a specific request) and make it an operation in the Operation Repository (see below). This would make the Validation much more usefull (it will allow you to validate values in responses over multiple requests. (Right now you can only validate a value within the same request). Use case description: test consists of running requests in a loop. You want the value of an item in a response to differ from the previous request (in the loop). Currently this is not possible to do in LoadComplete.Show passed validations as well (make this an option in settings)
Right now, only Failed Validations are displayed in the details of the log. But Successful Validations are not mentioned in the log. Same in the Test Report (only Failed Validations are displayed). This feature request is about that LoadComplete could be improved so that Successfull Validations are also mentioned, both in Details and in the Test Report.Implement overview of used variables for Correlations and Data Validations
Right now, in LoadComplete you don't have an overview of used dynamic variables for correlations. You only see them when opening specific requests/responses. But that's hard to see if you have lot of requests and responses 'to manage'. See below screenshot for the idea (global): Also if possible, include links to the specific requests/responses (open them from the overview). Also include in the list the places where the variables are used in Data Validators.Link validations in If / While loops
I have created an entry in the Data Extractor, followed by an entry in the Data Validator: see below: Now, I would like to link outcome of the Validator to an If statement in a following request. Currently, this is not possible. Same counts for While loops (and others if applicable). I would like LoadComplete to be upgraded so that it this feature request can be supported.Include request details when printing/exporting Load Test Report
When opening the Load Test Report you can view specific details (shows Request Time, Server Time, Transfer time) in graphs. This is very usefull info. However these graphs are not displayed when exporting/printing the Load Test Reports. Could the LoadComplete product be enhanced so that these graphs are printed in the PDF/HTML files as well?Include Office System Driver in the LoadComplete installation
To be able to use variables listed in Excel files, you need to have Office System Driver installed - as described here. By default, this driver is not installed. So, if you start using LoadComplete with excel variables, you get this error message: This feature request is to include the MS Office System Driver in the LoadComplete installation procedure, so that working with Excel files works " out of the box".Allow combination of fixed and random think times in scenario's
In my test, I would like to use a combination of random think times, and a fixed page time. I would like to use random think times, except for 1 page, this needs to have a fixed Page think time 4000ms . For example, I have a scenario, that consists of 10 subsequent pages: During test playback, I want pages 1 to 6 to have random think times, page 7 fixed, and 8 to 10 random again Right now, I can only select one of 2 options: "Use think time defined in the scenario", and "random think time". But I would like to use a combination of both.
UUID Parameter generation at runtime
Currently LoadComplete offers the ability to parameter random numbers. However in my web application we require a UUID to be generated at run time per virtual user. The only work around I have come up with is to build a CSV file full of random UUID's. The problem is, once the UUID is used by a virtual user, I can no longer use that UUID, so post run i have to re generated the entire CSV file. This is tedious.Make Stations sections in Project Explorer expandable (if multiple stations have been defined)
See attached screenshot. I have defined multiple stations, as you can see in screenshot. I would expect that a [+] icon would be visible in project explorer so this section can be expanded (like already implemented for Scenarios, and Stations). Could this be implemented? Thanks.Make it possible to call scenario in IF statement
Currently, when using If statement, it's not possible to use Call senario (to call another scenario). While, loops, delays are supported, but not Call Scenario (to call another scenario). This makes LoadComplete capable of building intelligent load tests! Could this please be implemented?An output selection grid to limit requests output to files
When setting up a run of tests allow the user to apply a filter to the output to the log file allowing them to filter on 1. Duration 2. OK/Warning/Error 3. Ranges of Request ID/ Time period/ Call Types/ Machine/ Test/ and so forth This will reduce unwanted data, allow tests to be for longer before exceeding log file size limitations. In addition, when the data is exported, the data will be ready for processing and require less time to use.An export/import facility for tests be allow editing in another editor
This would allow the test to be edited with any common mass update facilities, without having to include them in LC. The import facility could then perform a validation to ensure that the test was compatible with the proprietary rules in LC and the tests could be used in their updated states. The validation routine could then add stamps to indicate: 1. It has been edited with ... <tool name>, date time stamp and reference the original test. 2. A Label to allow brief notes on what was done 3. A flag to indicate it has been externally edited, Not all required, but these would help in mixed test environments. Alternatively: Make tests editable with other editors directly (probably more difficult, and with less control of content).Allow regular expressions to capture multiple values
One feature I use regularlyin other toolsis the ability for regular expressions to capture a range of values. For example, if a web page had several menus and sub menus as a FAQ, I would use a regular expression to extract all links on a page, then click one randomly, then do the same on the sub menu and so on. This could be done by storing every link in a datatable and using a random selection, but each time the pages were updated the datatable would have to be updated as well. Using random responses from a regular expression is much quicker. With Loadcomplete only allowing the choice of the first pattern match this approach is not possible.Make Global Variables to be of table type
Hi, Problem: Now the global variables (those used for parameterization and accessible via Variables editor) that retrieve values from the databases, CSV-files, Excel filescan be associated with a single field only. This is very inconvenient if, for example, variables must contain correlated values like user id and the password. Request: Make the global variables to be of table type so that they can be associated with the resultsets. Access to the columns can be made using the 'dotted' notation. If resultset contains only one field, the old syntax can be used. Use case sample: The LTLogins variable can be associated with the 'Select Login, Pwd From Logins Where Active=true;' resultset and provide data to some web site login form using the @LTLogins.Login and @LTLogins.Pwd syntax for the Login and Password fields accordingly. Thanks.
Displaying all the transaction averages for each defined step, not just the overall average.
I would like to be able to see the averages, min/max for all the defined transactions in my test. I can see that there is a combined average, but this doesn't help me when I am looking at 100 transactions or better.Make it possible to concatenate the values of two variables into the third one
I would like to ask for the possibility to concatenate the values of two variables into the third one. This can be implemented in the same tables where data are extracted from the responses and assigned to the variables (Data Selectors, etc.). In this case, the value of the 'Source' field (using Data Selector table as an example) may be 'Variables', 'Regular Expression' will specify the name of the first variable (e.g. @Var1), 'Subexpression' will specify the name of thesecond variable (e.g. @Var2) and the 'Save to Variable' field will specify the name of the variable that contains concatenation result (e.g. Var3). It would be perfect, if it is possible for Var1 and Var2 specify not only variable name, but some string that contains (or not) the variable - e.g.: if Var1 = 'CaseId' and Var2 = '123', then'@Var1'and '=@Var2' should concatenate to 'CaseId=123'. Please let me know if you need more details for this request.
