Performance Testing - Embedded wmv file (1500 Virtual Users)
Hi,
I was assigned a task to come up with a testing strategy to simulate 1500 users going to a website and viewing the 20-25min embedded video.
We have an Enterprise edition of TestComplete with Unlimited Virtual User License. I went through the flow in terms of recording an HTTP Load test script by:
1. Opening the Browsers
2. Navigating to the Webpage
3. Clicking on "Play" button for video.
Please note, that i let it record for around 3-4 minutes as i saw that video was downloading while playing and the stream rate was 384K bits/s.
In my first attempts to run the scripts i was getting Warnings for X amount of Virtual Users i was running my script with (Currently only running 5 VU max to avoid the risk of bringing down the server)
I am seeking a TC professional who has experties working with TC Performance and Load testing to give me guidance for the following queries that i have:
1. How to make sure that my script is recorded correctly
2. How to determine that Script execution does what it needs to do
3. How to correctly read the Logs (Please note that i did some reasearch on that for a few days and have a bit of an idea).
4. What details do i need to present to Network Team to point out if the server is capable in accepting X amount of connections and that all connections should not have issues while streaming the video on their PCs.
5. Any other information that would be usefull for me.
Greatly appreciate all your help and comments in advance.
Thanks,
-Yuriy.
