Load testing of WPF application

Hi,



If your applications communicates with the server via HTTP/HTTPS, you certainly can do this. Load Testing doesn't test application, it tests web servers, and it doesn't matter what application generates traffic to the target server on the client side.

Hi Jared,

You are right, load test only checks http/https connections but I want to give emphasis to few points.



first , You wrote that

"Load Testing doesn't test application, it tests web servers"



But I know TestComplete seperates load test and web server. So, these are tow different test typing I think. What you say about this ?



And TestComplete must have some speficic functions in order to increase test quality of a load test on .NET and WPF applications.

 

Can you give some information about that ?



Thanks, and happy new years!

Hi,



How do you expect to 'load test' a desktop application on your local PC? Load testing in TC works for web servers and web services - it simulates multiple user connections with specific requests and measures the server or service performance. It doesn't deal with client applications in any way - they just can be used to record traffic they send to the target server.

Hi,

Yes you are right,

I do not meanclient applications, just thought that the software may have some useful tools for WPF based web apllications.

Hi,



A web application which communicates with a server is a 'client application' anyway, and it doesn't matter whether it uses WPF or not. Load testing works with the server.
