LoadNinja Feature Requests

I am referring to logic operators that will enhance LoadNinja Scenarios: Conditional Loop Call Scenario (in order to create compound scenarios) IF-THEN-ELSE While Rendezvous Point ... View more

Since the majority of users hitting a web page are mobile users, adding support for mobile testing is necessary.  Of course, there are various levels of mobile testing support - and actually different types of support.  I would think that just having the ability to change the browser string so that the load appears to be coming from a mobile device, and maybe having a few bandwidth selections to simulate mobile traffic might be eough initially. ...

Use Case: Often a tester will want to have multiple scripts that only differ in a few aspects. It would be great if a script could be cloned within the project - With the new copy having a different name. That script could then be edited to reflect the differences. ... View more

Dear colleagues,   I am pretty sure that compaund Web Test is in your plans for the next LoadNinja update. The purpose of compaund Web Test is similair to the Call Scenario operation from LoadComplete and its purpose to make it possible to create reusable parts of Web Test. For example, assume that I need to load test a scenario when 80% of VUs just browse some goods catalogue and only 20% of all VUs do a purchase. Current implementation of LoadNinja requires that the browse sequence must be recorded (and supported) twice - for browse test and for browse and purchase one. Compaund Web Test should eliminate this duplication.   ... View more

DISTRO: Option 1: Databank(s) is automatically split into the same number of files as the number of load generators.  Each load generator gets its own fraction of the original file.  This is the most common use case.  A row of data is UNIQUE across all load generators. Option 2:  The Databank(s) is sent in it's entirety to each l oad generator.  A row of data is only UNIQUE for a load generator - not across all load generators.   END OF FILE BEHAVOR: Option 1: Upon reaching the end of the databank, start again from the beginning of the file. Option 2: Upon reaching the end of the databank, stop the test.   DATABANK ACCESS: Option 1: Sequential Option 2: Random     ... View more

Provide the ability: to see all hosts captured as part of the recording to select which 3rd-party hosts are used (uncheck host to filter it out, check to re-activate) Add: List of Active hosts to the SUMMARY tab in the realtime report  List of Inactive hosts to the SUMMARY tab in the realtime report List of Active hosts to the actual report List of Inactive hosts to the actual report ...

Actually, I think various types of items should be color coded to stand out. Keyboard Input items should stand out because they will often be edited in some way.   For example: Today, I recorded a script and while recording, took a couple of missteps. I had a typo in the password field and had to backspace and retype (twice!). It was easy to go in and edit the initial password to be perfect and then delete the other two password-related items. What took the longest, was LOCATING the keyboard items 😉 They are not hidden, but do not stand out. ... View more

This is an idea that I have heard many times over the years.  Think how easy it would be to run a meaningful test that is based on actual useage patterns! ... View more

Enable validations around the concept of SLA's.   Example:  In a scenario, you select that Steps can not average greater than 3 seconds response time and no step can have a response time > than 5 seconds.   If exceeded, an SLA violation error is thrown and the script continues.   Reports should have an SLA section that highlights compliance with the selected SLA. ...

The ability to select, and combine cloud regions is essential.   Example: US-based Retailer wants to run a test representing their customer base.  50 percent could be generated in US-EAST and 50 percent US-WEST.   Example: Australian company wants to run tests.  The load should be generated from AUS as anything else will add unrealistic latency. ...

Dear colleagues,   Could you please consider and unify the meaning of Test and Scenario for LoadNinja and LoadComplete? At present they have opposite meaning and this may confuse the one who uses both tools.   ... View more

Could you give us the ability to run all vusers in test script . When I create a test script i have 100 vUsers which login with different user name and password from a databank. I would like to be able to verify that all 100 vUsers can execute the test script test without errors, thus to verify the correct execution of the steps. Then I can run my scenario using the 100 vUsers knowing that I won't have any failure due to incorrect action on a step. Currently, this verification is performed manually, which takes a lot of time. In addition, we are having a specific amount of hours per month or year and it does not sound very fair to utilize this time simply to verify that the 100 or more vUsers will pass the test script steps.  I hope this will be beneficial to the rest of the LoadNinja users.  ...

It would be nice to have a step type or something similar that can be added/inserted with the purpose of calling an external service for its response.   An example of this would be calling a hosted test service that provides a set of customer details which you can then use in the test to avoid hardcoding values and allowing the test to be more dynamic and thus more maintainable.   Another example that comes from my usage in calling out to a hosted test service that has helper functions for the tests, things like GenerateRandomString, GenerateRandomAddress, etc. these can be done via a JS validation but with no centralised storage of JS code we have them hosted external to LoadNinja and call out to it during a test. ...

It would be nice to have a global set of parameters that can be referenced across multiple tests, I currently would want to use this to be able to replicate an ability I had in Visual Studio to set the source url at the top most level and it affect every test in the whole load test run so that I can easy swap between environments to be tested. Currently this would require me going into each individual test and editing them ... View more

There are moments in scripts where I need extra think time to wait for elements to appear. Setting a 'Fixed' time would only add unnecessary time to the entire script, and setting it to the 'Recorded' times is too inflexible. I'm not even sure why you are even able to edit and save the values, as the script ignores them completely. There should be a Custom setting which has the script follow the edited times. These times can be pre-filled with the 'Recorded' or 'Fixed' times it came from. ... View more
