I have recorded a load test for loggin page with loginid: test1, password: sa.I have seen the requests , in request 19, i have seen that it is login.aspx request and in the body i saw the parameters i am giving to login.Now i want to run this load test with 10 users with 3 of the Virtual users using the login id mentioned above , another three Virtual users with loginId: test2, password; test1 and another 3 usres with LoginId: test3, password: test1.So for each set of 3 Virtual users, i want to run the load test with different login id's and the password will be the same.How can i acheive this.I looked at parameterization, it is mentioned that for the POST requests, need to change the parameters in the request body of that particular request.Or do i have to use regular expressions?Or scripting is the only option?How do i make it dynamically to pick up different loginId for every 3 users it is running.Please let me know.

Can anybody address this as soon as possible.

In my load test i want , out of 10 virtual users, i want to execute the test firts 3 VU's with txtUserName: test1, txtUsrPassword : pass01.The next 3 VU's with txtUserName: test2, txtUsrPassword: pass02.The next 4 VU'S with txtUserName: test3, txtUsrPassword: pass03.I hope you understan my scenario.Now i has test designed, QA_Login, the task is QAFA_Login.Now i wrote the script like this:Sub Param_LogInId set TestInstance = LoadTesting.Tests.TestByName(QA_Login) For i = 0 To 5Set HTTPTask = LoadTesting.HTTPTask("QAFA_Login") Set request = HTTPTask.Connection(5).Request(2) if (i = 0) Or (i = 1) Or (i = 2) Then request.BodyVariables.Item("txtUserName") = "aprilg" request.BodyVariables.Item("txtUsrPassword") = "aprilg"else if (i = 3) Or (i = 4) Or (i = 5) Then request.BodyVariables.Item("txtUserName") = "gailc" request.BodyVariables.Item("txtUsrPassword") = "regina01" end Ifend if next ' Runs the task ' call TestInstance.(QAFA_Login) call TestInstance.Run("QAFA_Login") End Sub When i run this it is giving me VB Script run time error in the last call statement and says object required: "TestInstance".Please suggest nad let me know if i can do it in any other way.

Hi Sri,I guess the problem is actually caused by the following code line:set TestInstance = LoadTesting.Tests.TestByName(QA_Login)Let me quote the "Tests.TestByName" ( http://www.automatedqa.com/support/viewarticle.aspx?aid=4567 ) help topic:Name [in] Required String So, the value passed to the Tests.TestByName method must be a string. If QA_Login is actually the name of the test and not a name of a string variable which stores the name of the test, you need to use the following code line instead:set TestInstance = LoadTesting.Tests.TestByName("QA_Login")

Hi, I tried with specifying the test name in quotes.My test name is QA_Login and Task name is QAFA_Login. Do i have to specify Task name or Test name in the last call statement.I am attaching the snap shot of the error i am getting and also the load test suite tree.By the script i have written here , does it actually creates all the VU's first with specified User id's and Passwords and then runs the task after creating VU'S.How do i know the load test ran with the userid's and passwords i specified in the script parameters.Please suggest the solutions for the error i am getting and also please clarify my questions regarding cofirming that it is doing of what i am specifying.

Hi,I coded the set TestInstance statement like this. Now it went through.1. Please let me know what i am doing is right.2. How do i know it executed the test with the parameters i specified.3. it is simple login script. But it is failing and giving errors in one particular request for all users In the log it says that -620424866 Connection 9 of the task assigned to the virtual user Sri (6) was simulated partially. Only 1 of 3 requests were completed. 6/11/2010 10:02:20 AM 0 ErrorRequest for one is thisPOST /CallowayQA_P1/Homepage/Homepage.aspx HTTP/1.1Response isRequest for another one is this;GET /CALLOWAYQA_P1/WebResource.axd?d=FBCtxQYQJPsBcPB1nFRyBI-Ee-yTQDHumCZTrzdHUfikxBeaEIGfnqJ_Shmqgg3R101ueqz-LyKekgGf8qi-aw2&t=633989817480000000 HTTP/1.1Response isThese two metioned above are not executed. and is giving error in the result. i have 6 VU's in the test, so it is giving 6 errors.Please suggest that if these are sever errors i have to look into.Sub Param_LogInId set TestInstance = LoadTesting.Tests.TestByName("QA_Login").CreateTestInstance For i = 0 To 5 Set HTTPTask = LoadTesting.HTTPTask("QAFA_Login") Set request = HTTPTask.Connection(5).Request(2) if (i = 0) Or (i = 1) Or (i = 2) Then request.BodyVariables.Item("txtUserName") = "aprilg"r request.BodyVariables.Item("txtUsrPassword") = "aprilg" else if (i = 3) Or (i = 4) Or (i = 5) Then request.BodyVariables.Item("txtUserName") = "gailc" request.BodyVariables.Item("txtUsrPassword") = "regina01" end If end if nextcall TestInstance.Run("QAFA_Login")End SubThanks in advance.TestInstance.Run("QAFA_Login") Also when i change the connection or request to some other number it is not failing which i thought it would b'se it can't find those parameters in other connections and requests.TestInstance.Run("QAFA_Login") Also when i change the connection or request to some other number it is not failing which i thought it would b'se it can't find those parameters in other connections and requests. TestInstance.Run("QAFA_Login") Also when i change the connection or request to some other number it is not failing which i thought it would b'se it can't find those parameters in other connections and requests. TestInstance.Run("QAFA_Login") Also when i change the connection or request to some other number it is not failing which i thought it would b'se it can't find those parameters in other connections and requests.So i doubt and please let me know if i am doing right.

Hi Alex,

That is exactly what i did. But i am getting this error. Please look at the attached.

I am able to do distribution test through scheduling in the job. but not through scripting. We have licence for 50 Virtual users . Do i have to have remote agent running on the remote machine to access and execute the distribution test on that mahine. If so how come i didn't get problem when tried to run test visually though job .

Hi Alex,

I am also attaching the zipped folder of my project. Please look into that and let me know the solution.

Hi Sri,

The Remote Agent Service (RAS) tool is shipped only with the 250 VU and Unlimited VU packages. This tool is required to have distributed virtual users.

With the 50 VU package, you cannot use this functionality.

My First question is how come I am able to run distributed test visually scheduled in the job.

Second question is the other machine where i want to run has Test complete installed. I read in help that i don't need remote agent service running if test complete installed on it.

Please resond to this to clarify clearly what should we do further.

Hello Sri,

According to your project suite contents, you are confusing two different TestComplete features:

1. Distributed HTTP Load Testing.

This feature requires the RAS tool to be installed on the remote PC to simulate distributed virtual users.

2. Distributed testing (Network Suite).

This feature has nothing to do with Load Testing. This feature provides a way to distribute any test on several PCs.

You can use this function to make your test run on several computers, but you will get separate Load Testing results for each project you run remotely, but not the common Load Testing log.

I read in help that i don't need remote agent service running if test complete installed on it.

Could you please specify the name of the topic?
