Some issues about web load testing based on C/S structure

Hi , I try to use TestComplete(version 8.20) to test our web load based on C/S structure, but there is no task after recording. Our test web only use http and https as its protocol. Does TestComplete support C/S structure or is there anything we need to notice about it?

    Hi Jenny,


    First of all, please check whether the problem can be reproduced with the latest version of TestComplete (v. 8.50). If it does, please describe the problem you face in detail (what do you mean by "no task after recording"? do you get an empty task? do you see error messages?) and let me know which browser you use.

    Hi Allen,



       When I try to record a client software to log in (such as Skype), I got an error message saying that no http traffic has been recorded. what puzzled me is that http traffics could be catched by using web debugger tool(Fiddler web debug tool). I do not use browser because the test based on Client/Server structure.



    Regards,

    Jenny

    Hi Jenny,



    Please follow the steps below to help us investigate the problem:




    1. Download AQtime Standard, which is our free profiling tool, from our web site:


    AQtime Standard



    2. Install the tool.



    3. Start AQtime with the -NotOpenApp command line argument. For example, you can use the following command line:


    "c:\Program Files\Automated QA\AQtime 7\Bin\AQtime.exe" -NotOpenApp



    4. Select the 'File | New Project From Module...' main menu item.



    5. In the Open File dialog, select the the tested application's executable file and click Open.



    6. Take a look at the AQtime toolbar - there is a combo box. Open it and select the "Tracing | Exception Trace Profiler" item.



    7. Select the "Options | Options..." main menu command - the Options dialog will appear.



    8. Set the "Profiling Time | Event View | General | Exceptions | Depth shown" setting to 100 and click OK.



    9. Start the tested application via selecting "Run | Run" in AQtime's main menu.



    10. Start TestComplete, start recording and reproduce the problem.



    11. After the problem occurs, right-click somewhere within the Event View panel (it is opened by default at the bottom of AQtime's window) and select the 'Save All...' item.



    12. Save the panel's contents to an HTML file and send me the file via our Contact Support form:


    http://smartbear.com/support/message/?prod=TestComplete



    Also, please provide us with the traffic recorded by the third-party tool - we'll examine how your application communicates with the server. Thanks in advance.

    Hi Allen,

     I try to catch this issue following your description, but after "9. Start the tested application via selecting "Run | Run" in AQtime's main menu." the tested application launched and crashed immediately for several times. please see the attached the video and aqtime log.

    Hi Jenny,



    Looks like the behavior you observed is caused by Skype's protection system which does not allow launching the application in debug mode. Could you please provide us with your tested application so we can try to reproduce the problem on our side? You can contact us via our Contact Support form regarding possible options.
