RE: [OpenSTA-users] Getting started

[Nikhil S. <nik...@ma...>]

Hi there,


This is a very good automated tool in terms of testing a website or a web
component.and whatever u want to know about hte tools interfaces that is
avaliable on the  Opensta.org itself.


OpenSTA like any other tools in the market uses simulated users activities
which we record and the reply using the interfaces that are the part of the
openSTA..

What we needs to capture here is that, the envoirnment before u run the
scripts Hardware/Network etc. to calculate the actual bottlenecks in the
whole system..

1. the times values on the basis of which we can formulate the performance
of the website that may be u have done also, (we don't know that), (HTTP
Response time, transactions time etc.

2.  Number of Vuser that will hit the website (can be concurrent or
Simultanoues users).

3. then u can record the scripts and create senarios examples (Users do
login in the database,
doing some data transactions (Depending upon the your Web-application
functionality)

than u can gradually increase the load and number of users to reach a level
where application will break down that is the point of stess testing where
we can say that website is crashing due to excessive load at this level
where number of users are this much and the other factor keepin constant.

lots of information regarding the functionality of OPensta u can get easily
on Opensta.org  .

i hope this much info will help u and then u can explore it further than
this.

Hi,

I want to use openSTA to do a stress test to my
website. I. never use any test tool before. I'm trying
to read the documentation in the web site and the help
file but i couldn't understand how to use this tool. I
only can install this tool but still I don't know how
to use. Can anybody help how can i do the testing
using openSTA. I hope somebody can help me to explain
in simple can easy to understand way. I'm very
appreciate anybody that can help me.

I built a asp application in windows 2000 advance
server using Sybase Adaptive Server Enterprise as the
database.
