Real Browser Based Load Testing | Web Application Load Test

To configure a multi-step test of a web application you need to record a test script using the EveryStep Scripting Tool. You can create a new script, import a script into the EveryStep Scripting Tool recorder from an existing test or upload it from a local machine.

Recorded Script

The field displays the script that was recorded using EveryStep Scripting Tool. To edit the script, click the Edit Script button, and modify the script.

Scripting Mode

This field displays the browser type selected in the script, device type, and recording resolution.

Time Validation Threshold (in seconds)

Enter the time in seconds you expect your script should be completed in case you would like to receive an error if this threshold is exceeded. 

There are several default system timeouts:

Navigation timeout	120 seconds	By default, the system will wait for 120 seconds to complete navigation to a web page. If navigation isn’t completed in 120 seconds the action is aborted and error is generated.	The script execution will continue.
User Action timeout	50 second	The system will wait for 50 seconds to complete a user action (click, select, etc.). If the user action isn’t completed in 50 seconds the action is aborted and error is generated.	The script execution will continue.
Script Execution timeout	15 minutes	By default, the system will wait for script execution result fro 15 minutes. If the script execution is not finished in 15 minutes it will be aborted.	Script execution is fully aborted either on a successful run or in case of reaching the timeout.

Browser Mode

Dotcom-Monitor can send load test requests through a proxy or directly. By default, all requests will be sent directly from Load Injectors.

The Browser Mode option enables quick activation of the proxy to send requests in the Tunnel mode.

DNS Options

The DNS Options feature allows users to choose how domain name server (DNS) requests are conducted during a test.

The Custom DNS Hosts section allows setting up the mapping of IP addresses to hostnames. IPv6 and IPv4 DNS resolutions are supported.

To specify the mapping, enter the IP address and the hostname in the corresponding fields.
