Can loadui play access log urls as tests

Hi,

I just discovered LoadUI and want to see if it fits my needs.

Can LoadUI get nginx/apache access log file (maybe edited) of few 1000s of urls and use EC2 Instances to load test with these urls from multiple locations in a rate of few 1000s of calls/sec

Is there any programming/scripting involved?
Where can I find information about manipulating and loading access log files to the system?

Thanks,
Nir

    Hi!

    No, there's no built in functionality for log files. But loadUI:

    • Has a downloadable component for fetching URLs from a text file.

    • Has Amazon EC2 integration.

    • Is extremely extensible, via a Groovy-based DSL (so called Custom Components).


    So this could be done without too much hassle if you have some scripting skills.

    Hi Henrik,

    Can you please post the link for downloading the "component for fetching URLs from a text file"
    Thanks.

    Hi!

    The component used to be downloadable from http://blog.smartbear.com/post/10-10-01 ... i---part-2
    but the link seem to be broken at the moment. If you are into scripting, I'm sure that you'll be able to recreate the compoent yourself by reading the blog post.

    I've notified the author of the blog post about the broken link. However:

    * I'm not sure that it will work in loadUI 2.0 (without modifications) anyway.
    * You can get the same functionality by using DataSources in soapUI Pro, together with loadUI.
