Presenting at CFUnited on load testing

CFUnited is next week!

I'll be presenting on Wednesday on “Dynamic Load Testing with Webserver Stress Tool“. I'll be covering Basic, parameterized, and scripted load testing. It's a fairly inexpensive tool, but can do some powerful testing.

This week I also found out I'll be able to raffle 3 software licenses: 2 licenses for Paessler Webserver Stress Tool, and 1 for FusionReactor server monitor! ($1000 worth of software). Licenses sponsored by Paessler and Intergral, respectively.

Topics:

• Test Types
• setting up a set of URLs
• Multiple users
• URLs bound to a dataset (parameterize the tested URLs, merge with a dataset; one set for each user)
• Scripting, instead of list of URLs
• Simulate multiple simultaneous CF sessions
• How to simulate AJAX calls
• Test results and logs; where's the most useful information
