Load testing using selenium

[R-24]

Hi

Is it possible to perform load testing using selenium Test tool.

So we can create virtual users to test the load the server can handle.

Use Selenium Remote Control for this purpose.

Selenium Remote Control provides the ability to write in languages like C#, Java, etc,

http://www.openqa.org/selenium-rc/

where you can use those programming language libraries (API) to check about the start/end time of a test or perform memory checks easily. I remember I've wrote similar test for a Java application some years ago and I was just a beginner yet (so it's not a difficult task at all).

What I mean is something similar to the following (say we need to measure the load time of a page for example):

+-- create a time frame from the current time+
+-- call selenium.open("myPageURL")+
+-- check the time this page needs to be opened+

In JavaScript there is a DateTime object as well

http://www.carr.org/~meripper/xhtml/java-02.htm

but I'm afraid there is no easy way to check the memory for instance. Suspect there is no way at all.

That's why I think Sel RC is the best way to go if you need something like that.

Yes but with limitations. Selenium starts real browsers and does not work on http- but on GUI layer. So how many browser instances can you start on your machine?

Can anyone point me to a howto for this? I'm looking for the same thing essentially. I want to simulate hundreds of users accessing an ajax web app at the same time to see how it performs.

You say it can be done by opening a browser window for each user, but how about if they all need to be logged in / have their own cookie space?

How about load testing or several users doing the same task at the same
time?
