Re: Provide Improved Databank Handling configurations
There is already the option for sequential or random. I have just started using the application and was not aware that the file would not start over at eof. Not sure if the file format allows for "quoted" data in the CSV file. This is important for me for testing the searching of the "exact phrase" with the search results returning "exact phrase" or for searching 2 words in any order - exact, phase, or combination or the 2 words that is unquoted. We have multiple databases and the number of results returned would be less if we did quoted data. This would also affect the performance outcomes. Without a downloadable csv file for the output, I do not know which user uses which data element in the Data Bank. How are shared or not shared? If I have a data file with 50 search terms and 5 users - do they all use the first 5 and the final 45 are not used?4.3KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Create a sanbox of 20 users where the tests can be run prior to being committed to the real test
Actually Blazemeter has a sandbox that allows users to run the script prior to committing it to the actual load - it is a free low-scale test for debugging purposes. I suppose the playback would be considered a sandbox that finds object errors. I can always go back to using JMeter. I was able to run the script all the way through and validate the data prior to committing it to the cloud.3.3KViews0likes0CommentsCreate a sanbox of 20 users where the tests can be run prior to being committed to the real test.
I have run the load tests twice only to find out the csv had errors in it. There isn't a way to run the script to test the script until it is put into a load test scenario which takes away from allotted time for testing. The 3rd time it ran smoothly. Would be great if there was a way to test the script before committing it to Load test. The playback did not go through all the csv data entries to have them verified.3.4KViews0likes5CommentsRe: Ask a SmartBear: Your Biggest Test Automation Gaps

How do we decide which browsers and devices to test? When should we automate a test vs. when should we stick to manual testing? What is the difference between record and playback vs scripting for test automation? What should we look for in a test automation tool? What is the ROI of parallel testing? Can we run automated tests as part of our CI/CD pipeline? How can we create test cases that are easy to reuse and maintain?4.7KViews0likes1Comment
