Load testing XBAP applications

Hello,



Is there any chance to load test an XBAP application using the HTTP Load testing module? If not, are there any other ways to accomplish this task (perform a load test of an XBAP application using TestComplete8)?

We have an XBAP application which runs on local users workstations, where users can login and perform various actions. As a result of those users actions, data is transmitted to some services located on a server. By "load testing" of this application we want to simulate multiple users performing some actions on their "local workstations", in this way we can measure the performance of the services on the server machine.



Thank You

    Hi Eugen,





    The HTTP Load Testing feature is aimed at performing load and performance testing of web applications. Since the feature works by recording and simulating HTTP traffic, it can be used to test other client-server applications that exchange information with the server using the HTTP protocol. I do not have information on whether the HTTP protocol can be used by XBAP applications, but you can try this in case your application can use the HTTP protocol.





    An alternative way is to use the Distributed Testing feature. You can find information on it in the Distributed Testing help topic.
