Testing Interactive Web PAges

Hi, i am new to LoadUI and need some help. I want to load test an interactive web site that requires a username and password and then the user can perform various activities once inside the site. I have seen other load testing tools that allowed you to record click actions of accessing the site, entering credentials, and navigating thru the site's features. Is this possible in LoadUI? I thought it was but am unable to figure out how to do it. If its not possible to record a script like this, what is the LoadUI method for testing interactive sites? Thanks! Doug

Hi there! This is possible with loadUI. You will have to create the complex web tests in soapUI, and run them in loadUI. Basically, create the flow you want in soapUI. You can use the web recorder in the web test to capture user interaction with the web site. You may also need to extract (use a Property Transform) any session information from the headers between web tests, to maintain authentication. Once you have it all setup and working in soapUI, right click on the web test and select "run in loadUI". It will automatically create a soapUI runner for you in loadUI, which you can run.

HTH!
