Stress Test on windows application

Hi Hamed,

There are two plug-ins in TestComplete: the HTTP Load Testing plug-in and the Network Suite plug-in.

The first one allows you to test client-server applications that communicate using HTTP or Secure HTTP. TestComplete emulates up to 300 virtual users on each computer involved in testing. If you are interested in this approach, please read the "Load Testing - Overview" (http://www.automatedqa.com/support/viewarticle.aspx?aid=12628) help topic - it includes links to other help topics.

The second plug-in performs distributed testing of the server application through the GUI of a number of client applications. You can simulate as many users as many computers are involved in the testing process: the client application will be launched on each computer, and the script on the master machine will control the activity of every client. Please see the "Distributed Testing" (http://www.automatedqa.com/support/viewarticle.aspx?aid=12315) topic of the Help system for details.

Also, please see the following pages for more information:

BTW, TestComplete is not supposed to be used to measure performance of desktop applications. AQtime, which is our profiling tool, can be used for that purpose.
