- Simple yet Powerful Embedded Test Scripting
Web Roller has excellent embedded abilities
of generating test data dynamically. Request parameters and URI's
can be calculated dynamically. Test functionality can be extended through
several standard programming languages, including JavaScript,
VBScript and PerlScript
supported by Windows™ ActiveScriptingHost. Additionally,
Web Roller provides you with wide range of test
parameters. Most of global test settings can be redefined within individual
requests.
- More Load from Less Hardware
Web Roller is used for performance testing
and provides high performance itself. The application itself is light and
fast - it does not consume lots of system resources and provides high performance.
Thus it, first, gives the ability to provide a significant load on the tested
server/application at the same time allowing to run at very modest hardware
requirements, and, second, ensures accuracy of testing results. Web
Roller allows you to generate substantial load without purchasing additional
testing hardware or losing precision. By producing more load from less hardware,
Web Roller makes performance testing effortless
and cost-effective.
- Accurate Real User Simulation
Web Roller is extremely accurate in simulating
real user actions. Each virtual user is absolutely independent from other
ones. Each has cookies, data and parameters of its own. Web
Roller provides proxy header substitution to emulate activity of multiple
users coming from different IP's. Use of scripting
gives you almost unlimited capabilities of simulating user behavior.
Since Web Roller is based on recording real interaction
between browser and server, it provides extremely correct emulation of user
actions.
- Create Load Tests Quickly and Easily
Web Roller offers an integrated testing environment
allowing to perform all tasks (from initial design of test sequences to final
reporting) without leaving the application.
Web Roller is simple in use and training. To
start simple testing you will need a minimal experience. And, the more you
learn about Web Roller, the more of its power you
will master.
- Charts and Reports
Web Roller provides you with various charts
that report you how tests were performed. You are able to generate reports
in text (suitable for immediate loading in MS Excel)
and HTML formats. Reports can include both raw and
summarized data. presenting various information (such as response times vs.
amount of virtual users, transaction performance summaries, failed requests
etc.).
- Secure Content Testing
Web Roller supports SSL,
digital server certificates and other security features related to HTTPS.
- Functional Testing is not a Problem
Web Roller is created for performance, load
and stress testing. Yet it is suitable for functional testing. It provides
you with a comprehensive set of features for functional testing - such as
response processing allowing to check correctness of server responses. You
can either simply re-use the scripts created for load testing in functional
testing - without modifications, or easily create new ones. Thus you can create
comprehensive sets of common test cases for your project.
- Convenient User Interface
The integrated testing environment offered by Web
Roller allows to perform all testing tasks (from initial design of
test sequences to final reporting) without leaving the application. Project-based
script editor is provided for easy script management. The ability to run test
scripts and test projects from Win32 console adds
to Web Roller flexibility.
