Could you please tell me sir, how to pick one value from drop down list in sapgui protocol..Please help on this sir.

PLz post more scenarios based questions n answers on website Testing r performance testing..

Could you give ur contact details ??

There is case, 1 iteration calls 50 web servers, at 10th call it will generate one dynamic code which will pass the remaining 40 calls..issue is not this.. issue is.. the generated dynamic values validity is only 10seconds the thing is in this 10 seconds remaining 40 calls not completing so at 40 or 41 or 43 in each iteration failing.. can you explain how to handle this.. already i have spoken with developer he told in present situation we can't make changed in code he told.. so their side we can't do anything.. how we have to handle this

One interviews asked me 2 questions related to below 1. If i want to test an app with crores of people. How will you do that 2. If you are using jmeter recorded, it will capture the credentials, what about the security of the credentials

So happy and humbled to see this Sumit

Hi Divya, Throughput is calculated as requests/unit of time The time is calculated from the start of the first sample to the end of the last sample This includes any intervals between samples, as it is supposed to represent the load on the server. The formula is: Throughput = (number of requests) / (total time) The higher the Throughput is, the better is the server performance

@@RaghavPal Thanks Raghav

Sure Vinay, will do soon

You're welcome Laila

Happy to know it helped. I am yet to do on Linux and ssh. You can find all my work here - automationstepbystep.com/

Hi Manish, glad to know this, I will plan to create a session on these topics

Welcome aboard!

Hi Akash, in general API do communication between two apps and works on request response model. Now ideally, in this scenario, you may ask more clarifications like what do you mean by one by one. Is this request and response automated or a triggered response, like I hit the first API and then it keeps on sending response to second api again and again. The other things we need to check is how exactly is this response data received or what's the format, if it is JSON we can use a JSON parser and parse and use data as we need, If it is XML can use an XML parser and so on. Let me know if you have understood this,

Thanks Sahana

Hi Venkatesh, you can have user systems in multiple geographies and have them put load on server. Here you can use remote node systems. there is a video on remote testing in JMeter playlist. You can also take help from blazemeter or octoperf. That is a paid solution

Hi Kavya, this can help kzfaq.info/get/bejne/kKl-ldx_narafnU.html

Hi Jumi, I will plan a session. in general some other good practices 1. Always do performance testing on a separate env. Create a sep env which will not be used for other activities 2. Run your tests with the same infrastructure, network stats etc. To get consistent results and can be compared with the baseline 3. Create more realistic test - have some think time between requests 4. Add ramp up time, Do not start directly with 500 users 5. Always have a baseline to compare your test against. 6. JMeter checks the server performance and does not care for browser render time. So if you see your jmeter results are good but your application is still slow. Check for client-side performance testing tools 7. Focus on the areas that needs performance testing based on user scenario 8. Always document your results

Hi Raj, In PT, you need to create a baseline and check all results against the baseline. So you can setup the baseline on the env available and then run your tests and compare. In case it is not a separate PT env. you may have to see that you carry out your testing at time when its not being used to rule out any noises

I will plan for this Sai

Most welcome Praneeth

Glad to know this Fernando

Glad you liked it Sarib

Hi Siva, great to know, Yes as testers, you can and should contribute to Test Plan

@@RaghavPal Thanks a ton..👏👏👏

Hi Anshita, in general for testing the performance of any application we start with a general load test where we test the application with multiple virtual users, and then based on the output and needs we can plan other tests like stress, endurance etc. It also depends of the application type, use, scenario, for e.g. we have some e-commerce app like amazon or flipkart, on some specific day we have a big sale and we know that there will be much more traffic than normal days and therefore we have to test the entire system for that accordingly

@@RaghavPal Perfectly said, very well explained.

Hi Anshita, sometimes it also depends on the client requirements, if they want us to run multiple different kinds of performance tests for an application.It also depends on what exactly they would like to see by doing different kinds of tests and then for us to observe and analyse the different metrics post test completion and then based on the test report we give them, they can understand a lot about the application behaviour and also how they can possibly improve the end users experience

By the way, Anshita, that's a really good question which you have asked.

I will do a session Sayali

You're welcome. It will depend on the requirements. You can do a testing first at API level and then UI. It will also help to find out which layer is taking longer time to respond

Thank you!

Hi Faizan, ideally it should be based on your experience, however few general challenges people face in performance testing are 1. Setting up the correct environment for performance testing 2. Setting up benchmarks 3. Running tests with same environmental factors for consistent results 4. Collecting and managing results for better analysis 5. Infrastructure management

Automation Step by Step - Raghav Pal thank you my friend , you are supremely talented

Where are you based on ?

Automation Step by Step - Raghav Pal as far as my understanding a tester never set up an environment, it’s been set up and given by middleware team

Yes, you have to get help from the network or infrastructure team to setup env.

You're welcome Bala

Hi Priya, I will suggest to go through the following playlists JMeter Beginner playlist JMeter Intermediate playlist JMeter Advanced playlist JMeter Tips & Tricks Will find all here - automationstepbystep.com/ The key here is to do hands on along with the videos

Could you please let me know that in which section I can have it. I have completed all tutorials accros 3 level and few of the 4th one...

Hi Deepak, I might have not covered all the logic controllers, but will do it soon

thank you. My be this is wrong place to ask but.... Raghav I am on bech at HCL and have prior basic experience of Selenium WebDriver with TestNg and Java. With help of you I regain my confidence in Jmeter back. Which tool would be best for me in terms of salary growth, i.e. Jmeter of Selenium. HCL is offering of selenium and jmeter under their IJP. Asap rply will help me a lot as I ha e to tell them in nxt 4 days....

With Selenium you will go in UI testing , With JMeter it will be performance testing. Do you have any preferences ? If not I can suggest go with JMeter

Thanks Sachindra

Hi Sravan, you can ask the following 1. What should be the ramp up steps and time 2. What all scenarios and modules needs to be included 3. Do we need to have unique user details for each request (if yes, you may need to use a CSV file for test data) 4. Do we need to add think time (delay between requests) 5. Do we need to have geographical distribution (users from diff geographies using the app)

@@RaghavPal thanks for the response Raghav. To addition to the above I have also been asked below questions. Please provide your insights. Q2: How could the requirement above be expanded so that is more descriptive and testable? Q3: As well as creating a script in a tool to do the performance testing, what other factors would need to be considered for a performance testing engagement?

I will plan to create a session on this

@@RaghavPal thank you Raghav

Hi Viji, This can be specific to your work and experience, If you ask me something that I can explain is.. While working on Continuous Integration on Jenkins, I had a need to integrate the testing jobs with dev build jobs, I did the same by chaining the jobs, However, we needed a comprehensive report or overview of multiple runs over a time. This was a bottleneck and after doing some analysis and research got to knwo about pipeline plugins in Jenkins and used the same to handle this scenario. Now, this is a scenario specific to my experience, You should think something that you have witnessed and handled.

@@RaghavPal Thank you so much. Your videos are excellent and keeps me motivated:-)

Hi, I think i am qualified to answer this question. Bottle neck is nothing but application's strange behavior or problems and issues which are actually in hidden nature. Being a performance tester i have found the many bottle neck of the application while doing the performance testing. How : while executing the performance test plan you need to monitor the tools like app insight and Db monitoring tool. These tools to help you to find out the bottle neck. What I found: deadlocks in db. I have found that deadlocks are happening frequently once load is crossed 50. This happed because of the the flat table implementation issue. Conclusion : only performance testing can identify the hidden bottlenecks. Thank you 😊

Hi Fouziya, here at server side there are monitors that logs this and these logs can be checked for this scenario

Automation Step by Step - Raghav Pal How about the failed one.. my jmeter got failed for certain sample request that to logs appear on serve side.

JMeter works on network request and response, Server will have the logs for all the request irrespective of whether its coming from JMeter or not.

Hi Jeni, The best values or metrics for evaluating a SaaS application's performance depend on the specific requirements and use cases of the application. Here are some common performance metrics that are used to evaluate SaaS applications: Response time: The time it takes for the application to respond to a user's request. This is typically measured in milliseconds and should be as low as possible to provide a good user experience. Throughput: The number of requests that the application can handle per unit of time. This is usually measured in requests per second (RPS) or transactions per second (TPS). Latency: The time it takes for a request to be processed by the application and a response to be returned. This is usually measured in milliseconds and should be as low as possible to provide a good user experience. Availability: The percentage of time that the application is accessible and usable by users. This is usually measured as a percentage of total time and should be as close to 100% as possible. Error rate: The percentage of requests that result in an error. This is usually measured as a percentage of total requests and should be as low as possible. Resource utilization: The amount of resources, such as memory and CPU, that the application is using. This should be monitored to ensure that the application is running efficiently and to prevent resource depletion. These metrics can be used as a starting point for evaluating the performance of your SaaS application, but the specific values or targets for each metric will depend on the requirements and use cases of your application. It's important to monitor performance regularly and continuously improve it over time to ensure a good user experience

Hi Nikhil, I have not yet covered LoadRunner.

Hi Nilesh, You can get Selenium with Python tutorials here - automationstepbystep.com/

@@RaghavPal is this jmeter also use for python selenium as well??

JMeter is a performance testing tool. So irrespective of the application tech stack, you can use it to check the performance with user load

@@RaghavPal thank you so much for ur help sir ..it means a lot for me..coz I m all preparing python selenium from ur videos ❤️❤️

Hi Fouziya, are you saying start time and end time for performance test? If you are running test with 100 users it should take some time. Pls check your setup again.

@@RaghavPal Thanks Raghav. I have tried as mentioned again I have performaned the same. Still I m getting the same.. even I'm having different tokens as well. Should I give delay time period.

You can try. Also add listeners to check the actual response you get. and see the number of runs

Hi Pavani, For docker you can find here (LAST 2 VIDEOS) - kzfaq.info/sun/PLhW3qG5bs-L99pQsZ74f-LC-tOEsBp2rK Jenkins I will do soon

Hi Saurabh, do you mean the internet bandwidth testing? There are several apps present for this

@@RaghavPal yes like testing mobile application on diff bandwidths.

okay, this can also be done with Chrome Dev Tools

Yes you can, but pls be consistent on this as you will need to compare results

Hi Eko, it will depend on the need, I will suggest that you do one performance testing at API level just to check the network calls are performing well and then can setup a test on the application

Hi, you have to use performance testing tools like JMeter. automationstepbystep.com/performance-testing/

Hi Anuj, yes mainly for recording, BadBoy not used now, Blazemeter is acually a complete cloud solution for performance testing. For recording we use a blazemeter chrome plugin.

Hi Kalpesh, if you do not have the required infrastructure, you can use blazemeter

User distributed setup - running 10000 users on a single JMeter node is not recommended

Thanks Rachav, I have the infrastructure ready, Can I whitelist my IP from server so the IP will not block after the load of 10000

Hi Kalpesh, u can use the RedLine13 tool for 10K concurrent users scenario.

No Anmol, will need to check online

Sure Kiran

Hi Garima, geographical distribution helps to create real-world scenario, where the users using the application will be located at different geographies. So rather than putting all the load form a same location, we can use geographical distribution

Hi Niraj, here you can check the testing environment/infrastructure, in case you are using the same env and machine, then ask the dev/network team to check the logs for the time you run the request

Hi Rakshanda, JMeter is for performance testing and can be used for a variety of applications like web, mobile, db, ftp, api etc. Selenium is a functional testing library for web browser apps

Hi Atul, this will be a very generic data to predict users, as the threads (users) increases we cannot predict the behaviour in linear terms. We have to get requirements in terms of sla on avg response times, resource utilization limits etc and then divide our tests in section like 0-10 users 10-50, 50-100 etc. This can change based on needs and then setup your performance test

Hi Mayank, I have videos on setting up performance tests with JMeter - automationstepbystep.com/online-courses/

I will plan a session

Hi Ram, 1. You can use performance testing using any tools like JMeter, Gatling 2. Always do test on a test env

@@RaghavPal 1. will it support crores of people? I dont think so. 2. It may miss use our credentials right coz it is a third-party application

Hi Ram, I will suggest to see some similar examples online

To hit your BlazeMeter recorded scripts in Postman, you can follow these steps: 1. **Import the BlazeMeter scripts into Postman.** You can import your BlazeMeter scripts into Postman by exporting them from BlazeMeter and then importing them into Postman. To export the scripts from BlazeMeter, follow these steps: 1. Go to the BlazeMeter recorder. 2. Select the scripts that you want to export. 3. Click on the **Export** button. 4. Select **Postman** as the export format. 5. Click on the **Export** button. To import the scripts into Postman, follow these steps: 1. Open Postman. 2. Click on the **File** menu and select **Import**. 3. Select the BlazeMeter script file that you exported. 4. Click on the **Import** button. 2. **Update the request parameters.** Once the scripts have been imported into Postman, you may need to update the request parameters. This is because the BlazeMeter recorder may generate request parameters that are not compatible with Postman. To update the request parameters, follow these steps: 1. Open the request that you want to update. 2. Click on the **Params** tab. 3. Update the request parameters as needed. 3. **Run the requests.** Once the request parameters have been updated, you can run the requests by clicking on the **Send** button. If you are getting 100% errors in the JMeter summary report, then it is likely that there is a problem with the BlazeMeter scripts. You can try to troubleshoot the problem by checking the following: * Make sure that the BlazeMeter scripts are valid. * Make sure that the request parameters are correct. * Make sure that the target server is reachable. If you are still having problems, then you can contact BlazeMeter support for help. Here are some additional tips for hitting BlazeMeter recorded scripts in Postman: * You can use the **Pre-request Script** and **Post-request Script** features in Postman to automate tasks such as logging in to the target server and clearing cookies. * You can use the **Collection runner** feature in Postman to run multiple requests in sequence. * You can use the **Monitor** feature in Postman to track the performance of your requests. By following these tips, you can easily hit your BlazeMeter recorded scripts in Postman and troubleshoot any problems that you may encounter.

Hi Sahil, you may need to use multiple thread groups along with controllers, Can try to see some online examples

Hi Fouziya, what kind of secured service. Pls provide details

Hi Dileep performance testing comes in non-functional testing and when you use automation tools, platforms to do it you can say it is automated performance testing

Hi Anuj, you can use some excel or csv for a tabular report which can show comparison for all your runs. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l66GaKya372bpWg.html

Hi Akshay, basically you can put load in multiple ways to check your application • Load Testing • Spike Testing • Stress Testing • Endurance Testing It will depend on your needs and you will need to setup a test plan accordingly

Hi Usha, when we do a performance test, we start with single user and then go up gradually like 10, 50, 100, 500 etc So that we run with all this load and can then compare the metrics And then the max user load depends on your real time use of application

A stress test is a type of performance test that checks the upper limits of your system by testing it under extreme loads. If you stress test for a long period of time to check the system’s sustainability over time with a slow ramp-up, it’s called a Soak Test.
